Anyone who does a mix and calls it "detroit techno mix" "wonky techno mix vol 1" "schranz mix vol 2" needs a friendly dropkick to the head. If you cant call it good techno by itself youve missed the point (and probably overlooked 1000's of amazing records because they dont conform). If you want call yourself a techno fan you probably should start your mix with brian eno and finish up with nasenblunten "cunt face". Its easy to get excited when you hear a new 'genre' name: your thinking its gonna be just like 1990 all over again or something. > my advice is just keep hunting for records that can mesmesrize/rock/scare you and a crowd be they at 70 bpm or 150 bpm. And NEVER ever think that you have finally nailed your sound, keep searching
word up, your first sentence there is pretty much what I've been trying to say for a long time.. and the rest of what you've said is bang on..

unfortunately most people seem to need little tags or dividers in record stores to make sure they don't stray away from their safe bet, sorry, but when people say they need a term like wonky techno, that's exactly what I think, why do you need these descriptive terms.. there's music you like & music you don't like, end of

@Danny Black..wtf? Don't understand WHERE you are trying to come from at all, but I'm not going to comment on it...

@ Dodgyedgy, Tom is still alive and well, and living in nottingham, just the magazine that went a long time ago....
