    i hate scratching in Techno unless its done really well. Ben Long is the best exponent of the scratch as it were that ive seen Techno wise, but you gotta look outside of "modern dance music" to see the really skilled artists.

    Wait till you've seen Scratch Perverts or Dj Cash Money live, then you'l understand what scratching is really about

    But as an aside do you think that scratching sounds bad in techno because people are not used to it, or because techno DJs as a general rule cannot scratch properly. or because those who CAN scratch properly prefer not to do it because they dont have the balls?

    Personally i dont believe in boundaries and have a real dislike of preconcieved ideas about 'HOW TECHNO SHOULD BE DJ'D'.

    (im talking generally scott, not at you mate)

    wow id forgot about Kentaro. Have an excellent vid on my computer upstairs from a festival, he's amazing.

    but i think as a rule, the reason why scratching isnt as popular in techno is because it's just not one of those techniques that lends itself to the music as well as it does other genres. There is certainly a place for it, but if you notice it does always tend to be incorporated into techno with djs who have that very old skool, hip hop style, fast and choppy, loose (in the good sense), willing to risk things for the mix etc etc
