What makes you happy about techno???

[xes]

Anyway come on, let's hear your stories! What makes you happy about techno?!!!

Well,coming from the angle of a listener,not a producer/dj.....

I remember hearling some crackely te **** old tapes,could hardly hear the music,but I knew that I loved it there and then. It had such a fresh feel to it,like a new car or something. (ok,I was about 12,more like a new transformer) Listened to this new sound every day,till I was about 14,then I went to my first rave. Now,I hadn't really heard techno up until this point,it was more the "old school breaks" sound,nice and dirty,but still. I was standing there,just a little kid,umungst all these fecked up people,having a great time. When BANG BANG BANG BANG. It knocked me back a bit,I just danced,the music made me do it (an excuse I still use) The feeling I got from rocking around to techno just won't fecking go away. I love it,can't get enough of it. The savage relentness pounding of the beats,the little intricate noises that twist and turn through the tunes,there's just nothing else like it. People tell me that you need drugs to listen to"music like that" but the music makes me buzz,it gets me high*. I could also go on,I have many "first rave" memories,that have all blended into one big happy hazey bubble.

*That is what makes me happy about techno/acid techno. I even wrote a little ditty about it,if you're lucky,I'm still hungover enough to share it with you. (please remember I was about 16,and tripping when I wrote it.)

I do not need xtc,anphetamines or lsd
ketamine,scag or coke you see
cos techno is a drug for me
it makes me dance,move my body
jump like a twat,at the party
you could say I'm a techno junkie
cos I'm quite happy with a spearmint wriggly.

I can't believe I'm actually going to press the post reply button. :ohdear:
