the open techno movement!

[MARKEG]

Look at what is happening. Loopy ppl are saying hold on, we don't like loopy. Hard ppl are saying we don't like hard. Minimal ppl are saying we're sick of minimal. Wow this is really so cool. Techno has so many scenes, so many ppl questioning the scenes. Surely we're moving forward because of this! Isn't this great? Am I imagining this?

Hmm, perhaps I'm drunk? :lol:

minimal people? hard people? loop people?

What happened to people who like techno?

I people who are getting clique ish with techno are the douchbags that ruin techno.
Techno is techno, and when a good ass dj mixes all genres of it that makes a better mix.
I would love to hear a minimal track layered over some hard techno, would make that dj tool sound much better.
The only thing productive about cliques are that more producers are being challenged to think outside their own box.
But the ones who are staying real to their guns I respect more because they are not changing their tune to impress anyone but their own peers. You would not want to hear Dj Premier produce a Justin Timberlake track.

Think a lot of people are kind of confused at the moment, not really knowing which direction to take their productions. have to say that the whole minimal movement/hype sometimes pissed me off, even frustrated me to be honest... but on the other hand influenced me a bit, changing my perspective on productions.

Adam Beyer blew me away with the releases he did on MAD EYE (but can you call that minimal?). My love for the pounding and dark stuff is way too deep to ever dissapear, but i think its a good thing that the whole techno scene got a kick in the ass. People are trying new directions again and there's a lot of examples of quality projects that followed (Agaric, Bruce Logan, Adam Beyer, Eidolon, Dustin Zahn...). Anyway, I try to see the positive side of things and truly believe in the power of the quality banging stuff to return soon. I like to combine different styles in my sets too, to make it more interesting (Not only for the crowd, but also for myself)....

I am really curious whats gonna happen in the near future....

the word 'future' should be killed . its all about now, and always was.

for sure

ive never known a genre of dance music have so many sub-genres - cant we all just get along and appreciate it all. Once someone finds a new strain of techno it just means loads of people are gonna make tunes that sound like that for a while before they get bored of making that stlye and make a new stlye imo. Just look at that new minimal sub-genre - the sound been around for years, but once it got a new "name" every tom, dick and harry was making tunes that sounded like that.

[gary_human]

dont tell me there's gonna be a new "open techno" sub-genre of techno musice started after this thread?!?! :crybaby:

[rhythmtech]

i wish i could make techno that stuck to one genre... i try to make acid and it comes out as house. i try to make minimal and it comes out as gabba.. fuk it where am i going wrong?

You are right.....but unfortunately, I dont see too many people doing this. More so on the minimal side (at least the ones I see here in NY). All they want to play is minimal-and THAT'S it....they wont even listen to the other stuff, let alone play it. So who's acting like the elitist douchebag here?

AHHHHH....I cant take it anymore....get me the *BLEEP BLEEP* out of NY!!!!!!

[DJ Becka]

While we are on the subject of minimal - I really just dont get it.....I know there are some quality producers and tunes out there, but I listened to the new releases on one website yesterday to see what was out there - and not only was like 90% of the new stuff all minimal, but it was all sheer utter crap. I consider myself to be very open minded when it comes to the music - but seriously, I was holding my ears at my desk - it was pretty painful listening to this. Is it possible that the US isnt getting all the new releases, so I'm just missing any good stuff with this music? Or is it matter of the whole minimal trend becoming oversaturated already?

Without the hehe part that was mine
