you'l notice this transitional period coincide with your production improving and thirst for knowledge also being quenched, these things are not unrelated. It happened to me, the more i got into making music and understanding what went into the music i was listening too, the more i realised that alot of the music actually doesnt hit the mark in terms of quality, never mind in terms of content

you'l find yourself getting into all kinds of other aspects of techno that are not predominently all club based, which is a common mistake for alot of people. Some people can learn to appreciate techno as a home listening experience that can bring on emotion, something that has actual substance outside of the, alot of the time, false sense of environment that being in a club can create.

if anything, now is when the real journey begin's matey

Some of the gash i have in my collection is quite apaulling. At the time it seemed amazing!!

Techno is mainly about home listening for me. Since finishing uni and friends moving away etc and my girlfriend not liking techno at all, its pretty much just me listening at home. It started as a club thing but as the home listening comes in the tempo does seem to slow down more and more as time goes by. I remember when I first got into the scene and loving pounding dj rush sets and thinking, I don’t really understand all this Detroit nonsense, where as now it’s completely different. I can’t get enough of mills and hoods space music or May and Juans magical grooves. Over the last few years ive been trying more and more to source records from the roots of the music. Buying old euro R&s stuff, metroplex, early jakin house that’s so raw it hurts and even a few disco cuts!! Don’t get me wrong I still love lazy Saturday afternoon looking through old classic bangers and still loving them, but to me techno is about lots more than clubs.

Hows this for an analogy. TECHNO IS LIKE MARMITE or TRAINSPOTTING

a) you either love it or hate it

b) you don’t find to many people that are just into electronic music a little. No half measures, in it for the long haul!

Or maybe I’ve just been procrastinating in places like this for far to long and it clouds my judgement.

Anywho, ill raise a glass to electronic music!

and as eyes says, theres always so much out there, the journey really does begin now!!
