What the fuk....

[gumpy green]

Some cheesy listening crasherkid listing to techno and then goes "here im into techno now" aint a tek head.

Ok, fair enough...BUT! It might make that cyber geek want to find out a bit more about techno. Hey, he might even start mixing it. He could be an awesome DJ. He could start producing. He could become world famous. You might buy his records. Then you find out a bit about this geezers past. Would he be slagged because he wasn't 'techno enough' as he got into techno through Fergie / Farley / Jules? Would that stop you buying his tunes? We all got into techno in our own ways man. I was a hardcore head before I heard some 'real' techno played by Ribbz at Helter Skelter. Does that make me a bandwagon jumper? I moved from hardcore to techno. Fu*k me, DAVE the Drummer moved from soft rock or summit to techno didnt he?!? :lol:

True....

100per cent agree with ya.....

But id hope that when they did they could see ther errors of the past....i have seen mine.

And i wouldnt boycoat them because of this--- if they were on some good techno sheeeeit. I would give them a slagging tho.....fuk ive slagged myself fo this.

BUT-Whilst they're still doing cheesy shit they aint getting no respect from me. And they aint fukin techno.

So what did you used to listen to before you were 'converted' to techno? Are you ashamed of what you used to listen to or summit? (ok your aloud to be ashamed if it was Chaz & Dave). I used to listen to all sorts, still do. Im not ashamed & im not a music snob. Good music is good music at the end of the day. Hell, Chaz & Dave even released 1 or 2 I quite liked...

[Si the Sigh]

And they aint fukin techno.

Explain? If I was someone who has just fallen in love with techno after hearing an Andy Farly 'techno' set & I wanted to look into this new found sound...How could I become 'techno'?

well i started out wi dance- the real old skool sound - was 12 (92)at the time so can only really name a few tracks-- dominator, insomniak i come back, playing with knifes...but had a good few tape from raves........

then when hardcore spoilt it all about 96 i decided to leave this shite and got right into some real shit -hip hop.

then when i started going out to clubs i went to shit like cream(not the real club but cream throw offs), voodo and locall folks nights that played anything from hardhouse tribally shit-........but always knew that it lacked summin. This was mainly cos of the folk i went about wi..i just went out for the laugh really.....never gave a fuk too much about the tunes.

then maybe 4 years ago i got into techno and instantly knew this shit was for me.........never had any of the cheese..


I like all music tho.....from radiohead/nirvanna/ placebo....through to drum an bass...but i can spot cheese...and fake folk. Ill admit i like a few justin timberlake tracks but i know it aint real.and is sell out cheesy pish..so even tho i do like it, i wouldnt listen to it.

well if you have to ask .......i aint gonna tell you......

[Numeric]

I've always been into techno since i first discovered underground dance music back in '92...

However, hardcore techno and drum n bass was my thing for years until i heard the likes of Producer, Ribbz and Mark EG himself spinnin the purist sounds and Deathrow and Skelta...

Now techno is probably what i listen to/spin most...

Same here, early 91 - 93 hardcore & into the bigger raves. I might have classed myself as 'hardcore' at one time but I opened my mind & listen to all genres now...

Now KRS-One, now you've been quoted as saying that
rap is something we do, hip-hop is something you live.
{KRS} Yes!
{interviewer}
Explain that to us please.
{KRS-One}
Well, well, today hip-hop, we are advocating that hip-hop is not,
just a music, it is an attitude, it is an awareness, it is a way
to view the world. So rap music, is something we do, but HIP-HOP,
is something we live. And we look at hip-hop, in it's 9 elements;
which is breaking, emceeing, graffiti art, deejaying, beatboxing,
street fashion, street language, street knowledge, and street
entrepenurialism - trade and business. And uhh, that's where y'know
that's the hip-hop that that that we're about.

btw thats the end of a krsone track

Seems everyone has rather different definitions of the word 'techno'.

What kind of 'techno' tunes is Andy Farly playing then? If he's caning the new James Ruskin album I'll let him off but if, as I suspect, he's playing a load of hard house to kids who don't know their arses from their elbows and think it's techno then clearly he's the joker I always thought he was.

[Stuart]

Ive never seen Farley and co mix techno to techno...Always hard house then drop a phat techno tune in the middle of the set, then back to the hard house? I remember he was playing cheesy hard house then dropped anphetamine/cocaine into his set
Anyway techno is defo picking up around these parts and I can see it continuing to do so, and if converting ppl means colloborating with hard house djs on hard house labels..then so be it. Its been said on here before, If you like the tune buy it! Does it really matter what label its on?

LOL at Si the Sigh...

Spooney - yer right - it matters fuk all what label its on...

But its still more than music to me...its a way of life and attitude etc.

Listen to KRSONE getting philosophical and preaching about what hiphop is......i see techno in the same way..... its not just music, its a whole scene.

Some cheesy listening crasherkid listing to techno and then goes "here im into techno now" aint a tek head.

Well I'm fed up of techno being classed as an underground style of dance music in this country. this is the only country it is classed as as being underground. i see it a good move that people like andy farley are playing techno tracks in HH clubs. They HH scene is dying off they are coming over to techno. and so are the crowds. It's good for the scene more people at techno nights. i have had Nick Rafferty Play a techno set at one of my nights and he played a ****ing good set. Plus it brought in a whole load of clubbers that don't usually come to my night.

[jonnyspeed]

man, give it up. boring. zzzzzzz

[quazkvas]

i dont give a **** as far as it does rock me socks aiiii

[jonnyspeed]

From what I've heard some Scotish clubs do have issues with twats in 'ben shermans and rockport' beer boys invading good nights - so I can understand wanting to protect the scene but to strike out at our HH brothers is not very constructive.

In London its a real Hienz 57 varieties and so long as its 'avin it its a good party. I think its therefore pointless arguing what is or isn't techno when actually all peeps are saying is that london techno ain't alway tribal, progressive or minimal - dunt stop it from being techno even if a HH producer is getting involved.

BOA is not really the place for this argument. Can we agree to disagree and talk about what we like? And if you don't, start a new post talking about something you do. Its like of the rules of the board.

Peace.
