20 minutes to represent techno on Radio 1

**xes** · 03-07-2007, 04:44 PM

you'll have to fit some london techno in there,and maybe finnish off with Nasenbluten "Cunt face" :cheese:

Hmm tricky one I would start off with some first wave Detroit stuff and do it in rough chronological order up to modern day I think.

Good luck choosing the tracks though :)

yeah that's probably the best idea eh. it's going to be alot easier to do it that way cause it'll progress naturally. BRILLIANT!!!! ok keep the track suggestions coming!!!

**Izz** · 03-07-2007, 05:13 PM

Advent - The bad Boy

**Louis Theroux** · 03-07-2007, 06:16 PM

would be good if you can fit in la rock or poney

**Louis Theroux** · 03-07-2007, 06:20 PM

this thread has really got me thinking - why not choose one record from each year (1992 until 2007) & try & show how things have progressed/changed.

try & fit in something by Cave or Ortin Cam as well if you can

wouldn't be able to fint all those records into twenty mintues myself but I am sure you can pull something off

looking forward to it

at least 1 makaton track...its the law.

**audioinjection** · 03-07-2007, 07:01 PM

Spastik!!

**eyeswithoutaface** · 03-07-2007, 07:38 PM

just play anything as long as its not schranz.

20 mins isnt that long really to try and fit a brief rundown of the past however many years. It's your opportunity, so just play what you want, tracks that are doing it for you now, tracks that have done it for you in the past. **** all that educating people bollocks and just play some music that you love

sorted

1 track that i'd 100% put in would be

yeah i've just been getting this together and i've realised 20 minutes really isnt alot of time at all. i would love to just pick one of my fave tracks from each of the years but i don't think that's going to work. what i'm thinking is i can progress in hardness over 20 minutes smoothly but once i start swapping and changing, especially later on, i'm noticing the mix becomes disjointed and has no point to or purpose to it (purely because you need time to be able to switch and go on musical journeys).

from what i've figured up to now (this is not ****in easy hahaha), i'm gonna start with early detroit stuff, then into belgian techno, then underground resistance punisher/balance of terror style then into the 4/4 distorted kick drum luke slater/uk/magnetic north stuff, then just progressively get harder (i think maybe the more busier surgeon stuff) then headroom, early wilson and end with todays harder techno. like a hard tribute to the techno world rather than start pulling out dark dark or even tribal shit (hopefully i can do that another time eh)...

i dunno, i think you can see where i'm going. keep the hard 4/4 element after the belgian thing to keep the mix rolling in the little time i have. i mean i could go all clever landstrumm vogaly aphex but it as that music is so complex anyway, swapping quickly would not go i don't think, well not in 20 minutes.

wow this is turning out to be quite a task! thanks for all your input so far.

**BRADLEE** · 03-07-2007, 08:32 PM

Just leave us a track listing homie...That's the most important...when it's done tell us who's what and where...

And if it's done right, can almost litterally do just 30-40 second chunks...That's how the Mega mixes go isn't it?

**The Overfiend** · 03-07-2007, 08:33 PM

surgeon - badger bite
punish - misstress diana
chris mccormack - numbers and measures remix
speedy j - anything from loudboxer
ben sims - anything from code red
paul mac - cards on the table
the drumcode with carola vs beyer
kevin saundersons good life keys mixed into something
dj funk run uk

I`d focus on representing techno NOW.
the past is the past and the kids don`t want a history lesson about some old people who made some stuff before they were born, very hard to relate to well off middle aged nob twiddlers, let them discover the history themselves via the sounds of now, that should be more releveant to them.
So some schranze might actually be in order (did I really say that?), as it is the music of the youth.
If a radio 1 DJ was asked to represent nu rave or nu rock or whatever, you wouldn`t get them playing the last 20 years of stuff, it would be the stuff of now.
Isn`t techno about the future? and new sounds etc?

**Frank Dogshit** · 03-07-2007, 08:47 PM

kind of agree with the above....even half the turds on radio 1 would probably play newer stuff.

time to pull out the radial,grovskopa,gunjack and makaton stuff i think..:)

I agree,Mark,you know the only way this can go. You'll have to lock yourself in the studio,and flip Vs as you rock it through the night.in a true,techno renegade fashion.

holy f* dirty, you have got such a massive point. this has hit me in the face completely. sure, i love showing ppl the history of techno, it's very important to me, but yeah, kids are just going turn off if i play a load of old music. you're right, techno is about the future. when ppl ask me to play old school sets in clubs i really shy away from it, unless it's for a back room where i'm not going to get 10 ppl at the front going 'play it harder'. the section in the show is called '21 minutes to know' and i have 21 minutes to show the kids what techno is all about. obviously i thought straight away i have to show them the old shit but no, i really don't. and really is it wise to do this and risk ppl switching off and thinking techno is a load of old sounding music.

very very good point. i'm going to mull this over. any other comments much appreciated.

Well, I just look at it via what the new rock explosion has done for music.
All the new bands that have emerged over the years have caused the kids to investigate the music, and now because of the kids doing their own research into the influences of their faves, they are discovering (and in some cases, re igniting) bands such as led zeppelin, the pixies, neil young, nirvana, the sex pistols etc.

Getting kids sparked off on the more surface and immediate sounds of todays techno might then ignite their nerdy interests to investigate deeper (deeper back historically, and deeper down musically).

the thing we can easily forget is that youth is about immediacy, attitude, rebellion. the deeper stuff comes with life experience for the most part.

**xes** · 03-07-2007, 08:59 PM

and don't forget to drop in a plug for the forum!!

Being serious,I agree with dirty bass,20 minutes is no way long enough for a history set. Maybe do a set of tunes that have just been released,so that people can still get hold of the tunes that you'll play.
