RIP Acid Techno?

DIY's the plan my man!

i think the music coming out over the last 12 months has been really good on the whole, certainly on the up from the year before. 303 based acid techno doesnt seem to be going anywhere though. clusters on the other hand has made a amasing turn around, so its not out the question for the more acid based labels to do it.
303's have always gone in and out off fashion in dance music, there's certainly scope for the silver box in future tracks just has to be used in the right way

that sounds about right.

I don't even think it's so much about the 303 use. It's the tracks lack of atmosphere.

More tunes like:

World War 303

One Last One

Akid Trax 6

Pump Department





OR ELSE

Nah, I'd say further back than that.

I keep reading and hearing people saying techno is going full circle with this minimal thing, which is gaining huge following as we know.

If it's all going full circle, then acid techno wants to be going back to its routes. Getting dare I say it, maybe a bit more trancey again. With the quality of production in this day and age, you could create some seriously fat atmospheric tracks.

yeah i here ya si, i guess it had alot more trancey elements in which definetly brought alot of the atmosphere to it. sounds stupid but i think the poorer production may have alot to do with the magic of the old stuff, pretty ruff around the edges and less polished.

love the turn around cluster and max min have had tthe tunes they have been putting out have propa got me going again

was neva really a fan of maxmin but the last 6 or so have got it going on

i agree acid techno is getting a bit stale...the way forward is to find new ways of integrating the 303....and pushing the sound forward...although acid techno is not all about 303's...to me its a hypnotic/trancey/high tech/aggressive/in yer face sound...ive always loved acid music and will always use my tb303 and ABL 2.0 in my tracks...i think its time for the new wave of acid techno (pardon the pun) producers to step up to the controls and have their input....mutuate to survive (to coin a phraze (henrys right!))


by the way...check my stuff here...bump...

got to agree with you there about the cluster label, the latest ones from ant, ap & zoid, taylor & gold, icepack & kn have all been quality, also it's good to get new artists on the releases too, also yolk has had some quality shit out too recently.
