Theres the arguement that techno will become comercial, etc...Bollocks! Techno is, and as far as I can see will always be, the true sound of the underground. This selling out arguement is bullshit. The hard trance / hardstyle heads slated Mark EG for playing at Slinky & Tidy events, but as Mark said, hes going to these events to open some peoples minds & if he comes away from one of those events & someone enjoyed what he played & wants to look into the sound further thats a positive & good thing. I dont think there are enough techno events in the UK and if I can hear more techno out and about, even if its by someone seen as 'cheesy' i will be happy. Im not going to forget my techno roots though. Is it time we stopped slating these 'bandwagon jumpers' and let them be introduced to our world? Techno will NEVER sell out...But it could grow. Ok thats enough from me. You may all now get me in a group headlock, poke me in the eyes, write 'tidy trax lover' on my face in permanent marker & kick me out of the techno forum with my trousers round my ankles... ;)
NA...I AGRRE I WOULD RATHER MORE WERE INTO TECHNO...BUT NOT THESE FOLK...

IMO thse fukers have fuked the dance to some extent scene wi all ther shite....
and i dont want to see them start doing it to techno....mind you thers toooo many techno heads thatll still stay true....
I hear what yer saying likes but i got into without any help from ministry of sound.........folk that like this to me cant runderstand what techno is about. it aint just music...its a way of life.
