There`s some nights still doing it proper, like Detached in Leeds, and there`s better clubs abroad, but 2009 has been the year that techno finally lots it`s balls AND spine. The last few techno artists I respected, who I thought had integrity, finally folded to make trendy plodding house shite (or mnml techno if you want to call it that). Comfortable, middle class, middle aged music, for comfortable, middle class, middle aged people.
I wouldn`t mind mnml so much if it wasn`t so safe. about 1% of minimal producers are doing something different or ballsy, the rest are just using the same sounds, same tones, same shuffles and blending in with the hope of popularity.
It`s worse than phucking X-Factor. At least those cunts sell out for a potential big money score and a good 15 mins of fame.
These mnml sell outs are selling their souls for about 1 second of vague recognition and some pocket money.
Detestable.
End of year rant over.
Happy New Revolution.
