Favorite techno 'sound?'

[basslinejunkie]

It's a real shame that it's getting nigh on impossible to sell any "Techno" music that doesn't fall into an easy marketing demographic... minimal - Schranz - Loop techno - whatever, that's it.. if you fall outside these brackets it's easy to feel like you're banging your head against a brick wall.. So many records are tailored for the distributors...

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.

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.

If techno was just about good tunes, then why would the market be flooded with absolute crap? I really wish it was about just the quality of the music, but it seems these days it's the people that can market it the best that do better than people with just pure talent sadly..

And yeah, digital is cool and everything, aside from the fact that that is completely flooded out too.. I guess it's cool that so many people want to make music.. just a shame that people don't seem to be listening so much...

last part is exactly the point.
the audience isn't there, it seems like we're the fans/producers/artists/dj's/performers
