A bit late for all this anyway isn`t it, broken beat techno was big about 3-4 years ago, especially the spanish and birmingham sound.
But it`s all dead in the water now innit
It was always the neglected bastard baby of techno anyway.
I remember a few years ago people moaning at me about "ooh, but you can`t beat 4 to the floor", now those same people are banging out the off beat techno like they just discovered it.
Hardly a fresh sound.
When will we be able to just mix it all up again, rather than having to commit to one specific sub sub genre of a sub genre.
Techno is techno, it`s supposed to be a free creative music the defies definition.
It`s just
Techno
I love it, but it had it`s time, you can only punt out off kilter kick rythms and ambient sounds for a while before people want music again.
