"Accelerated Funk", WTF?

Try asking for that down your local record shop and see how long the guy behind the counter can keep a straight face.

mind you though i wouldnt say ignition technition was ghetto tech, if so, so is mike humphries and john knuckles... wouldnt they?

**eyeswithoutaface** · 04-09-2006, 11:04 PM

well there are as many sub-divisions within ghetto as there are other genres, people will all have their own view of whose ghetto and whose not outside of the undeniably ghetto producers such as Slugo, Funk, Hyperactive et al. Ignition Tech have that raw sound certainly, very simple and alot of sampling going on with booty vocals and the Player series speaks for itself, whilst it's a little tired for me personally now. It's fair to say Punish has a small role in that side of things too with the sexual conotations and hard rawness that alot of the early Punish records had to them.

It really isnt a side of techno that will get swept up and rinsed out like schranz or minimal or something, there is always something too niche about it and certainly over here in the UK and Europe, in the more "mainstream" techno clubs whole sets of this stuff dont always go down well, unless the Dj is of exceptional skills like Dj Godfather or someone similiar. Deeon is supposed to be unbelievable on the decks too, alot of energy and flair is needed when this is your sole sound as for the average all round techno bod, 2 hours of "bang that ass" does wear somewhat thin.

So i dont think anyone needs to worry about it getting overdone, and on the flipside i wouldnt be throwing all my eggs into one basket hoping the sound gets really big as i just dont see it happening.

Total devastation when the right dj drops the right track though. I used to love scratching and juggling with copies of "Tear Da Club up" and various other really raw early projex records. Deadly

Well, short story long, Rowland likes him some Chicago inspired techno. Amen.

PS...don't get your hopes about about Deeon either.

that's all that matters at the end of the day, go out, do you'r own thing, enjoy it to the max and hope the majority of the punters enjoy it too.

Hey Rowland... one of my favourite sets of yours is still that time ages ago in that old theatre in south london.... i think you were in a mood and you suddenly slammed in the original version of sir mix alot... "i like big butts...",literally threw down your headphones and stormed off swearing.. No word of a lie, that was wicked.. proper rock n roll and definately the highlight of the party for me :clap: :clap: :clap:

yup, but even "ghetto tech" as a term came about as a way to market "DETROIT BASS" to (mostly) white people outside detroit

**urban** · 06-09-2006, 05:56 AM

The best thing about Detroit is...I don't live there.

Havnt you released a ghetto tech style thingy bastard?

You're not really missing anything exciting.

He doesn't have a valid passport, so he cannot travel abroad. He's got some legal issues, but I don't want to really air out his personal laundry. He's not locked up tho'.
