[MARKEG]

i don't care if it's sweden, london or timbuktoo...

oh ok perhaps i do... but we're all trying to make a statement.

hehehe

[MARKEG]

ok, so back to the topic...

swedish techno.

cari is a lovely bloke BTW. embowel - a fantastic new label - the best 1st release i think i've ever heard from a swedish label.

sweden seems to have an undercurrent of producers that consistently shine through. but so does the UK. so what do we have in common?!?!! hmmmm... interesting subject....

Yeah, it´s the bad weather!
In Sweden we´re freezing to death and in UK they drown cause the rain...

Swedish techno & UK Techno, he best of the best if you ask me.

I think it's got a lot to do with the fact that a few of the Swedish producers came to the fore at roughly the same time. They released a few cracking records and made a name for themselves as "Swedish" techno producers. People became very interested in that sound as it was fresh , so a lot of people wanted to hear this "SWECHNO" , so it became easier for other artists to break through , because of the demand for that sound.

I also think a secret to their success is ( as someone has already said) the crisp sound of all their records. Even if you don't like the style you will still have to admit that the production is top notch.

And I seriously do reckon it has a lot to do with the weather too.

The swedes stay in produce records , shag all the time , have sauna's, smoke pipes and tell innuendo jokes to each other.

Us Scots just drink too much , smoke too much dope , take too many drugs , eat any food that comes with a government health warning . Therefor we are too ****ed to produce techno.

The English are good at producing techno cause their pubs shut early so they have to go home at 11am. That is the ONLY reason!!!! ;) ;)

One more thing;
Here in Sweden we got Snus (snuff)! That´s the key to succes!

I thought the women were really quite a site when I was in Sweden. I think the whole weather subject on its own is a really good topic for discussion. How techno affects one's techno making. Granted it's not going to have the same effect on every producer, but at least a good majority.

Like you were saying...Sweden has good producers because of the harsh weather...england's weather isn't that great either...so the music tends to be maybe...a bit harder or darker. The italians down in napoli...its pretty sunny there (that I know) so maybe that's why their techno is so damn bouncey and happy most of the time.

Bottom line...there's a few good things that have come out of Sweden!

yeah and isnt sweden a very clean country? with crisp weather? maybe that has something to do with their programming?

or maybe im gettin a little carried away , although i do think surroundings play a part in music, i do think there is a link for sure.

[Jimfish]

i do actually find my mixes come out crisper when my studio is all nice and tidy..

Yes, that´s it, bad dark weather becomes dark hard techno.
Every tourist coming to Sweden always coment the "Swedish Women".

And, yes, we have a lot of blonde lesbos, actually we have a lot of blonde women around.

Is it really so bad looking girls in other countries? I mean, I really think that the "Swedish blonde women" phenomen is pretty exaggerated.

nice theory, but what about spain then? ;) reeko, mulero, wunsch... pretty dark too. of course they do have their funky producers as well.

Just go for a saturday night out in Wakefield mate, then you'll see!

[miromiric.]

we have been in war, all wet and starving to death so we cant help it to not to do suffering music. :=(

sometimes, when i am in a dark, i wish i could make happy music and then i open my sequencer and try to write something light, but that awful pain in my chest...and the voices...so i have to go back down and make dark stuff.

yea Miro, its true! :cry:
