thanks for the explanation. atm my interest for techno has been re-fueled in a way. not by the already pretty formulistic (?) minimal with 808 toms and glitchiness for the sake of it. and i would really really love an evening which could be ruffly labeled 'techno' , or at least dance-able presenting a diverse and fresh range of music. i mean a hard track followed by a minimal track inbetween, then some acid, tech-house, neo-trance or whatever. a good and vital mix i'd say. or bastards between the genres, whatever. just not: it's schranz time or acid-time o minimal etc. and nothing else until it has been trodden to death and it's full-on-schranz again after years of minimal for example. hybrids!

atm i am quite into the stuff by guy gerber, extrawelt, dominik eulberg etc. the more melodic väthy-stuff. i think it is more organic in a way. but not ONLY that kinda stuff. i have come to the conclusion that this kind of sound is nothing new at all. it reminds me of trance before it became tiesto-dized, say 1992-96 or so.

whenever i hear a bland 909 hihat etc. nowadays i kinda sickens me.

what i really want to say is: i understand your reasoning and wish you the best in your endeavors! :)
