Im glad you said that, it is a fair bit old but the reason I posted it was to give this kind of techno a bit of attention as it is a different approach to what a techno track is. That in itself deserves a little more attention as imo, a fair bit of thoughs gone into it.

Totally disagree with what your saying about funk, ever listen to funk btw, or jazz? Its not based upon obvious cycles but element interactions and changes, its not always 4/4 too. Few lessons there I think

Ok this tune is not totally obvious and the one beat could be more emphasised however its for me, the tracks like this that have the most funk (click link and no fast forwarding, let it roll first ;) )....

Exhibit A

When done right (PS what is it?)
