everyone has their own 'golden period' in techno... ESPECIALLY if ya liked the jack n jills innit ;)

imo, techno has moved up n down n left n right n forwards n back in the time i spent with it.. from around 92/3 when i was listening to the music, but not going to the clubs, it was jus music that i needed.. having been on NIN & PWEI & such, i found techno thru remixes & a store in belfast called Dr Roberts (rip.. best store in the world it was) where i shopped from i was 12 (into metal & rock) thru to i was about 22 (techno, techno and.. techno)


its jus phases.. everyone hated tribal.. then it was all about mnml.. ten schranz bashing.. now mnml bashing.. wonk has been invented by some tool & the media (and consumers) have caused more boxing of genre & sub-genre than is healthy...

either way.. techno will NEVER die no matter what grime, house, dnb or hip hop djs say... its the only genre that hasnt went Top 10... yet.. careful Hawtin ;)




as for snobbery... ever seen 2 jazz fans argue about who was the best free styler lol
