That was only because all of them decided to pick a fight with a load of people having fun and causing a bit of mischeif in a field, squat or anywhere else we might get away with it.

I used to be bang into the psy trance scene until the politics and tbh the music started to do me right in.

Techno has always had an anarchistic edge to it, the idea that you come along and dance, get mashed if you fancy it and you wont get judged.

Theres no one big ideology fueling the whole thing other than to have fun and do what you want away from the mainstream.

Has techno lost its edge?

Well most of the 'techno' scene has moved to tendy minimal crap with a load of twats in skinny jeans dancing to rubbish.

Does this piss me off?

For sure, but I started a techno night a year back for this reason with an old mate and we have been booking acts who still put a shit eating grin on our faces.

Chir Lib and a load of the SUF lot, Carl Falk, Ignition Technician and Billy Nasty.

Get yourselves down to Brighton to a Sicknote and then tell me techno has lost its edge.

Yea, it has started to slide but do something ****ing about it!!!
Nice to see someone stick their guns & run a Techno night that plays real Techno & does not follow trends ;-)
