leave scratching to hip hop. with techno sounds nearly as bad as spin backs lol

you've obviously never heard it done well. to be honest i keep it to a minimum, maybe a have a few double copy records with me in my bag. but i have seen it overdone: ben long replaced dave clarke at the jam, he beat juggled, or should i say used the pioneer to beat juggle, for his whole set. it was a dancefloor of blank faces who couldnt tell what he was doing and where left with nothing to dance to. shame really.

Well I had it clarified to me earlier that it's neither Richard Harvey or Dean Cole. Richard Harvey is a person but not User, Dean Cole did some live sets under the User alias but is not actually User either? The plot thickens!! It's defo one of the Birmingham boys anyway. That Dead or Alive "You Spin me" bootleg by Burns is also produced by User I reckon. Tony, who the **** is it??

Exactly. Tony's life would be forfeit if he spoke out. Worse than the mafia, these brummie techno lot. :lol:

And this topic turned around to be interesting afterall :D


Ofcourse i think techno is music!!! duhhh
Someone mentioned Detroit techno. Well most of the Detroti DJ / producers played in funk & industrial bands Like Blake Baxter and good old Jeff Mills himself. I don't know if anybody knew about Jeff having a long break after his 'The Wizzard' hiphop project.

Final Cut was his next project, a period he casually refers to as his "industrial days". A 3-piece band, they released just one record, 'Deep Into The Cut', in 1989 on Detroit's Full Effect Records. Most Mills fans today are entirely unaware of the group's existence. At that time in Detroit industrial was really big, and the two formats of music became mixed in certain situations, and Final Cut was actually one of them. There was one album and then they worked with Al Jourgensen [Ministry /Revolting Cocks]. Jeff's studio was very new, he had just built a brand new studio but when they made the album he was learning how to work with the studio.

Check out the 'Deep Into The Cut' record nowadays and it's hard not to arrive at the conclusion that in many ways Final Cut acted as a prototype for Underground Resistance, the seminal group/label founded by 'Mad' Mike Banks and Mills, and also including Robert The Vision' Hood. The sleeve, for example, is peppered with the same kind of militant slogans and statements of intent that appeared on many a UR release: declarations like 'Punishment to Fit the Crime', 'We give you the power to open any darkness' and, perhaps most telling of all, The future of dance music' cannot help but bring to mind UR's calls-to-arms like 'Revolution for change' and 'Hard music from a hard city'. Also present are apocalyptic graphics of Nazis and a skull-faced Statue of Liberty, themselves reminiscent of the burning cityblocks portrayed on, for example, UR's biopic 1992 compilation LP, 'Revolution For Change'.

Both these records' sleeves carry longer pieces of text and you don't need a degree in English literature to see the similarities:

OPEN YOUR EYES and see a world in which we live. THE PROSECUTED go without cause, listless and complacent, and as their hate goes into a frenzy, they stand, echoing chants of BURN BABY BURN are heard. So in the underground we search to find, THE ESCAPE. When we speak of the prosecuted we mean those who are constantly subjected to senseless pain in everyday life. NOW THAT'S FUNKY will move you in a way we could only express in lyricless thoughts, it's for those of you that seek the alternative HARMONY. So as you listen deep into the cut, you'll say to yourself "I TOLD YOU NOT TO STOP", and you'll journey on to find, the CELESTIAL UNDERGROUND. - Final Cut: Deep Into The Cut

By using the untapped energy potential of sound we are going to destroy this wall much the same as certain frequencies shatter glass. Techno is a music based in experimentation; H is sacred to no one race; it has no definitive sound. It is music for the future of the Human Race. Without this music there will be no peace, no love, no vision. By simply communicating through sound, Techno has brought together people of all different nationalities together under one roof to enjoy themselves, isn't it obvious that music and dance are the keys to the universe? So called primitive animals and tribal humans have known this for thousands of years! We urge all brothers and sisters of the underground to create and transmit their tones and frequencies no matter how so called primitive their equipment may be. Transmit these tones and wreck [sic] havoc on the programmers! Long live the Underground...

does everyone really not know who user is???????????????????
i am shocked!!!!!!!!

User was an Integrale label.
What happened with it?

[Ritzi Lee]

One more remark:

in the past, and nowadays still hapening, a lot of distributions telling people "this music is to experimental". I think this is just a lame excuse to say they are not interested in listening the real techno. :roll:
