Has the era of funky energy driven techno died in the uk??

[jon connor]

To be honest i dont think Energy driven techno was ever a fashionable thing in the uk(and that was a good thing in my imo)But it had a small and dedicated following!and the clubs that housed this style blew the roof off(once upon a time)!!

This following seems to have got smaller or more spread out here in britain and alot of the best partys seem to have moved back to the east of the world ie Holland,Belgium,Poland,ukrane,Russia and tokyo and as far as australia,to name but a few!
I know there is the odd good party here in the uk but you have to be lucky to stumble upon one!

The ultimate question is,if your hearts passion is hard driving energetic techno,should we move east of the world????

HMMM NOPE JUST MORE UNDERGROUND WHERE IT SHOULD BE !
massive scene in north wales for over a decade and half , but more free party stuff especially here in wales , now you see the likes of myself, the aWsome DISTEK , muckie beats, zoid, joe giacomet,tripple b, a.p with multiple releases and on going projects we are the new generation in my country who was influenced by this music ( hard driving energetic ) from the age of an average 15 16 in wot was a massive outdoor scene here in wales, so that is a good thing especially for wales as we are still relitivly young especially in joes case as he is 23 and has a great head on his sholders and also owns runs the mighty MORE PUNK THAN FUNK , So as for north wales i think its healthy with lots of great talent who all have come from the realness of techno the underground.

as for uk as a whole i do think its healthy with room for inprovement just look at this board talent everywhere.

major point is a lot of main stream djs are using hard driving energetic techno,
eddie haliwell , judge jules, dj preach, paul van dyke,( NOT WHERE WE WANT TO SEE IT BUT IT IS WE HAVE TO EXCEPT THAT ) etc they all slap a few in there sets , so i think its just about to start again in my opinion, you do get dry patches but somthings always around the corner and brings it all back .

1 word for 2008 hard driving energetic techno ADVENT YOU ARE LEGEND .

Hope that helps you out a bit dude , the scene is never lost because there are plenty of young new guys girls ready to carry the batton. WORD!
