The chills that spill with every drumfill can instill a brill-iant euphoric sense.

Here's my take on it as I explained to Dj Esp one day when he asked me why I thought people like techno.

When you are listening to techno, you feel like you are cheating time. There is no reference to a bridge, chorus, 3rd verse etc.. that popular forms of music all follow. You know that those songs are moving forward and will be over at a certain point and you are traveling along with it. 3 or 4 minutes and you're on to another reference point of time gone.
Now, get "lost" into a techno groove and you have just frozen yourself in that moment that is now working on your brain (and making you smile, or jump, or pump your fist (yeah kool mo dee...sorry had drop his name) and jam it. Percussion may change and sounds ebb in and out, but it is more like the same picture is morphing and developing and evolving while you sit enveloped in it.
Oblivious to the hours passing outside, the soundsystem in a dark room is truly a modern day "time stopping" machine.
You've hit the nail on the head there mate! Some of the best nights i've had have been the ones i can remember nothing about! Not cos i've been wasted, but cos i've been lost in the groove all night. Lights come on and i'm like " what the f*ck", is it over already? Like you said, 'Time stands still'

I'd say i'm addicted to techno :)
