Techno wise... iwas shopping in the wrong places, and never knew places like selectah and spindizzy existed, so unfortunately for me, i never picked up too much techno, only if Mauro Picotto branched out, or there was the odd techno 12" showing up in a hardhouse shipment for Abbey Discs.

Then i bought a cd called Techno Classics in New York in 1999-ish which had all of the usuals, beltram, mills, green velvet etc, so that got me hooked on the not so bangin shit as well as a Mark EG mix calleld " This is techno" for some magazine. i remebered thinkin thats not techno, coz it wasnt bang bang bang from start to finish :roll: but i thought it was deadly all the same.

barry dempsey and dean sherry @ Phunk'd Up for gettin me hooked on the proper Dublin CLubbin Buzz. big repect to those 2 lads!

and pretty much every technobrain on this board that pound us with the plethora of techno, coz id never have heard of 70% of it otherwise! ;)
