Favorite techno 'sound?'

At the moment I'm liking the broken beat stuff, anything with nice complex drum patterns and what I love to chill out too is Jay Pace. man his tunes are hypnotic.

real old skool acid techno seems to be on the rise though (I know that's not what you're talking about henry) James T Cotton, DJ Traxx etc etc.... I guess it's more acid house revival though really.. and if you made that just to sell records you wouldn't be doing what you wanted to do...

Personally right now I'm feeling like techno is over for me in many ways, I mean, I did just write a live act because someone booked me to do it in LT which was good motivation to do it, and I was really happy with the end result, I'd never have done it if I hadn't been given that motivation of a gig at a festival abroad, but I find it hard to find the buzz I used to get before everything was everythinged...

I need to get that piano, get practising and finally acheive my life long ambition of becoming a jazz pianist :P

Oh man, this is a hard one... I think X-Trax Records up until about 1999, Stay Up Forever, Noom, Choci Chewns, Hydraulix and Pounding Grooves. And artists such as Speedy J, Boriqua Tribez, Mauro Picotto... Too many good artists and labels to name, actually :P

is that true?

i always thought techno was about if its a good tune or not, not weather its the latest 'shranz anthem'

if i like it i buy it,simple. maybe people are more nieve than me tho. youd know this i guess as you sell records and i just buy them.

**judas_beast** · 30-07-2009, 06:51 PM

It varies from day to day. I hope I never get bored of it/it never bores me.

**judas_beast** · 30-07-2009, 06:51 PM

It's too true, distro's wont take you unless you will garner a return on investment.
Digital is the way to go.
I understand the whole mastering sound quality control debate and what not.
But back when all this was fresh there was none of that.
It was honest.
I'm out to bring these days back, **** the ruels.

**DarkYoung** · 01-08-2009, 09:49 PM

im really loving todays sound.

electro. dubstep. fat collective sound.

the stuff the suf collective are putting out recently. just love it.
never had it so good.

like failed relationships, old music is nice but played more for sentimental reasons.

**a X cell** · 02-08-2009, 03:06 AM

93-94 futuristic and space stuff like Basic Channel - Phylyps Trak, Partycrashers - Buy this record.

Thomas Krome and Swedish stuff is awesome too and some of the songs really fits the recent Techno.

Nowadays, I'm more into dark stuff like Bas Mooy, A.Paul and his many nicknames, Max M, etc. Specifically the stuff that is more complex and more "mind****ing"

**The Overfiend** · 02-08-2009, 03:08 AM

Of course

first: sorry for my bad english... :)

its very hard for me to say what is my favorit sound...

at first it was tunes like:"desert storm","Sourmash - Pilgrimage to Paradise (Hardfloor remix)",dj misjah - purple road,DJ MISJAH & GROOVEHEAD - FUNKY DRIVE...
then i was in love in so called funky/groovy techno (or minimal techno as we call it those days)... stuff from names like: user (dean cole) ,rob stow,mhonolink,johan bacto,marco carola,adam beyer,you know...dirty techno for dirty people...basicly its "dj tools" ,but i love it . realy,realy love it till now... :)

these days i listen all kind of stuff...from proper techhouse and techno,more detroit stuff, to UK acid techno...to bad acid techno scene dont egsist here,in serbia...i am so jelaous on your acid tekno partyes...
and,of course,crazy guys from spain - david moleon and dito masats... :)

i dont like hard techno or shranz...not my cup of tea,i guess...

i bet i forget something,but nevermind,,,,you guys get a picture.

btw,this tune drives me mad...i know its "loopy techno",or whatever you call it in uk,but i will jump,and scream,and dance like mad every time i hear it somewhere... :)
