Wheres the silly? 'Ardkore as it was in 92 was an evolution of detroit techno, acid house, and other europian styles of dance music, thats why kevin saunderson had his tunes to be remixed by grooverider and even he himself released hardcore tunes as tronik house. hardcore, an evolution of techno, and latter jungle, an evolution of hardcore, was (past tense) all about funk.Originally Posted by COL ECSTATIC
Anyway I certainly wouldn't concider hard minimal techno as being "funky" really. I don't think its suppose to be, thats not the point now is it? I haven't heard a techno tune with any breakbeat loops in back of a 909 kick since 1996 on some guys mixtape that I copied. Also I haven't heard a real "funky" bassline in a hard techno track in quite some time, the last was this Drumcode record...20.5 (but then again I haven't been an advid collector of techno vinyl so maybe I'm missing something).
