Techno addiction...

**jock** · 01-09-2006, 03:53 PM

well it all depends on the time of day, I am either driving very early am or dinner time.

normally in the morning i am so tired that I cant be arsed, so something chilled like Knife/Daft Punk will do, but on the way home i need to unwind so some nice Surgeon or Ben Sims does the trick!! Luckily its mostly motorway from Runcorn to Southport so I can twat it!! ha

My life is shit & the only thing that stops me from topping myself is techno . I don't have freinds but I have techno . When not at work I spend all my time locked up in my studio either spinning or producing techno. My feet are always tapping to the beat in my head. Techno is like a drug to me and I go nuts if I don't get my hit. When I hear everyday sounds like traffic & machinary I imagine how I would remix it & do so in my mind. I hear a sound and ( in my mind ) I turn it into a jackin' groove.

Am I addicted? Yes .

I'm not a dj and have but one lone turntable..it is a friend to the 2000+ records in the studio.
I'm not a dj and have but one lone cd player..it is a friend to the 1200+ cds in the studio
I'm not looking to be catered to, I'm looking to search out my own journey.
The soundtrack that accompanies me is not a commercial Sony compilation of "big hits" from Best Buy or WalMart
..it is music made by real people and their machines that are attached to them.

Nasty stuff isn't it all.

No joke, serious question. :)

Si. I dont play dark/exp.

I just like inventive music in all its form. And i hate people who always mix the same shite all the time thats all. (including darkexp)

But I have a secret.. Even they laugh at my taste. :cry:

yes i agree techno is massivley addictive, it is a drug and for a lot of people as exciting as it gets.

not to put a dampner on this thread but why do some people on this forum think its cool to be above buying records? not this thread inparticular because for the most part the comments are as positive as ive seen for a while but in many others when people discuss buying tunes there is a "too cool for school" mentality when at the end of the day most of these people if not now will eventually want you to buy their records.

Please for god sakes keep it real people.

and remeber TECHNO is not Hard House

I think I am!

I'm always looking for, and always finding shed loads of quality records. I spend about £200 a month on vinyl on old and new stuff.

I can't understand it when people moan about the lack of quality techno out there when there's sooooo much.

To me, techno is timeless. It doesn't ever sound dated, where as other genres can and do sound dated quickly.

I'm always looking for that next killer track, something amazingly fresh and new, or something old that others may have missed. It's more than just a music thing for me.
Is anyone else hopelessly in love with the wonderful sound of techno? Are you addicted? How deep does your love go? :love:

yes mate, last year i was working two jobs so had extra cash i was spending about 50-100 squid a week on techno vinyl kinda sorted myself out a bit now...phewww but like you said it's ****in top when you come across that absolute dancefloor killa on a small underground label that nobody's heard off-wicked buzz innit!!

**Lag** · 02-09-2006, 03:49 AM

TECHNO IS MY FAVORITE MUSIC
I LIKE THE BASS BOOM BOOM IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART

**electoad** · 02-09-2006, 08:21 AM

Addicted? More like a way of life. I'm half way through a software engineering degree. Without my synths I would probably end up like a lot of the people I see in my course - a 24/7 computer gamer sad freak with a subconscious hatred of myself.
Techno breathes life. It helps me through the hard times and it allows me to meet and connect with some really top human beings.
3 cheers for techno!!!!

**MARKEG** · 02-09-2006, 11:36 AM

**holotropik** · 02-09-2006, 02:02 PM

I am an addict, fo sure.

**Little_Fella!** · 04-09-2006, 04:46 AM

What I notice is that I am at my happiest when I am experiencing Techno, for some reason...

Stops me bein grumpy if I've had a **** day... :)

Has me leaping for the rafters!! if I've had to go some club or other, coz its a mates birthday or summat, n the DJ has decided to drop one to expand his/her set....

I think, 'Thank gawd for that brief moment..!', in amongst all the rave fodder they are pumpin out to the punters... ;)

**Little_Fella!** · 04-09-2006, 04:49 AM

It is my inspiration to create...

A mind needs that above all in my book... :)

**Spire** · 04-09-2006, 06:47 AM

What trips me out about techno is the fact that I think it's the simplest most repetitive music on Earth, but I just can't f_ckin stop listening to it!!!! I listen to 'regular' music/bands and think it's amazing how much skill it must take to play an instrument like that! I listen to techno and I'm like, this is sequenced samples and synths, music by electronic geeks, but it sounds f_ckin dope and I just can't turn it off god damnit! Like someone else said, I have a love hate relationship with techno. I'm not quite sure why I love it/am addicted to it. There has got to be a reason... what the hell is it!?

What's also very cool about techno is you guys! A lot of you stupid ****s have the same personality as me and see the world the same way (so it seems, never met any of you offline). Techno seems to attract a certain personality-type.
