i know some people prefer mark's patented "busting a 1200 over his head" but i think the record-in-mouth trick worked great. was the best set i heard in 2002!

spanx for playing in nyc man. come back soon.

okay
so other than how we all DJ techno-

you dont think there is a bit of a problem with cookie cutter techno? I sure do. I think its a much a fault and wieght on Glenn's shoulders as much as it is on Richie Hawti's- Marco Carola's and all the other guys. The problem comes when your dj sets feature the same cookie mold..



Of coarse techno is going to repeat its self- it IS abstract repitition after all. The cookie cutter problem comes with things always sounding the same. I judge a producer by weather he can do something intresting within' a genre- if it will shake some ****in ass- and finally if it makes me nod my head at the drop of the needle in the record store.

Every genre is stagmatized about cookie cutter sounds.. think of house tracks using the same cut disco loop from the same disco record. or trance melodies sounding the same. and break beats with that high pitched 'FUNKFUNKFUNKFUNK' vocal sample.

I find it esspecially funny when people complain about cookie cutter techno- when techno is cookie cutter music. how do you think we beatmatch it eh?
