Neither do I. But discussion is not stupid regardless of how you feel about what is said. Censorship for me is a very hot topic. I concur that this topic will very quickly go absolutely nowhere.
However, Dave Clarke raised a point which obviously merited some discussion although it was sloppily put. I myself have witnessed arguments as to how Techno is progressing. Is it getting too 4/4 banging and loopy? Where is the soul and funk? Where is the original soul of Techno? Err, it's ****ing music for ****s sake.
Sorry mate but telling anyone on a forum to lock a topic is pretty lame.
Fahrenheit 451 anyone? (I may have got the degrees wrong). For Christs sake I've seen some threads on other Techno boards about how crap Jeff Mills mixing/sets are lately? And??? Live at the Liquid Room for me is a benchmark. I couldn't give a toss what he's like now, he started something for me and regardless of how many "Black" dj's are doing Techno now is irrelevant. It's what you've learnt from your peers that counts.
