[Si the Sigh]

Still after all these years, I don't understand the term wonky techno?

Post some Juno links to track that you'd class as wonky please.

Wasn't this just some phrase that Jerome had written on a vinyl divider in his shop, and the phrase has been coined?

[Si the Sigh]

Surely, it's just techno innit?

NO. it must be catagorized for the sake of humanity.

oh dear... here we go again.. Basically.. its just a silly word meaning any type of techno music that's off kilter, slightly wrong, freestyle, going its own weird direction.. or all, some or none of the above.. but what do i know.. its just a word, means something different to everyone

I was determined to leave this thread alone ;)

it's a shame that many self styled "wonky techno producers" don't acknowledge the above more, and much of what blatently gets described as that is way too hard, fast, and stupid sounding..

it's also a shame that many only notice something once it's nicely packaged up in a box for them, I mean, don't get me wrong, but good music is good music no?

if what some of you are saying is "isn't it great that there's loads of stuff around that doesn't sound like a stuck record with loads of fluff on the needle rammed through a compressor" then I'm with you, but please don't take my word as authority on anything ;)

Wrong, we never realised the evil we would reap in years to come, eh mate?

No, I think I'm over it now, I'm amazed that a thread with the same name popped up yet again though.. the thing is to me, a lot of the stuff that myself or jerome play people wouldn't say was "wonky techno", which is why I find it pretty strange that we get described as such.. I mean jerome is the perpetrator of the term originally although he was never going round saying "I play wonky techno" as he was playing loads of different stuff, as he does now.. admittedly when it was being written on flyers for Test and Uglyfunk we might have got behind it as a fledgling scene, but the typical thing happened, same as with minimal stuff these days, loads of people tried to jump on hype, end result is a scene I personally didn't feel so comfortable being associated with when the quality of the music was falling in certain corners, and people were definitely not coming from the same influences as I was.. I mean maybe I'm getting old, but personally I find some of the stuff that gets classed as wonky sounds horrific.. it's like there was no understanding of "the funk".. it ended up like a plague in the east of germany, thus the reason why I don't enjoy playing there very much these days.... that's my take on it anyway....
