so really mark should take some blame and make it clear on here what he was playing, especially after we had such a massive thread discussing it and asking him what he was going to do... if he mentioned the forum and how it helped him with the radio 1 thing, then it is equally as right to give us some feedback on such an issue as this

classics are classics and skelter mislead people as per usual.

sound system usually is crap, giving times out at the event is not right

raves in the UK ... a joke now... nothing like the european stage.

what happened in the UK whereby we lose the hardcore techno / speedcore and it is filled with all this slow techno, uninventive loop crap. music for pussies. fair enough people like it, but it is not hardcore and this very noticeable drop in performances of the real underground stuff coming out of germany/holland and france for something called 'techno' when it's just soft music in truth is annoying ....

all these djs sound the same... i remember hearing mark eg, ramos, billy bunter, ribbz, aggressor amongst others and thinking.... erm, did you all play the same tunes or do they all just sound like that? at least you got variation with drokz, producer, scorpio, clarkee, hms, lomas, the french djs, smurf etc... Each DJ brought a different vibe from the hardcore scene, but the so called 'techno' scene barely sounds different at all and is just loop after loop. I have more respect for the hardstyle genre.

this will piss off a lot of 'techno' heads... although i consider myself to be that very thing because if someone asks what i like, i don't say 'i am a hardcore techno head'.

if 'techno' really is about the future, then why is it always the same. the clarity of sound is clearer with new technology, but the music is all the same... there is far less variety within each genre than for all other dance music.

even in happycore you could play a set and make it sound very different with each tune, speedcore, hardstyle, trance.... plenty of styles..... but listen to a techno set and it's the bloody same... same formulas time and again...

it's up its own arse celebrating it's 'creativity'
