You're right, I have mis-worded it.

I'm not singling out certain producers, styles, etc. here.
Basically, what the point I am trying to get across is these DJ mixes that maintain that same sound throughout the whole mix all damn night long. I think Mark knows what I'm talking about, as he admits to changing after playing in Brazil.

I love hard techno, and I love the deeper, clubby, tribal, whatever, shit. For me to say "this style is better than that style" is soooo bullshit. That's not where I'm going with this (although I do dig the hard side more).

Only some of the most hardcore techno heads can stand to listen to that machine techno for hours on end, and believe me...with "good" record sales being around 2,000 for an EP in techno...there isn't many of these people. It just gets to be too much and too boring.

While in theory a good portion of the "machine" music is a bit more basic than other genres of techno, that doesn't mean it is bad. The complexity of a style/track/producer doesn't matter in my book.

In the end, if you spin it all night long, that's cool. If you don't, that's cool, too. Listen to what you love...even if it's terrible music as long as you enjoy it. I'm just saying this current trend in hard techno can get a little monotonous.
