what you on about, speedy J is hard as ever for example.
if you try and work that you might even see that he is.
its 2010 ffs, we got tracktorz, abletonz and all sort of shizz to make the output artist provides a perfect whatever you want it genre (techno)
stop thinking backwards.
Recent stuff I heard is;
Rumenige
Loktibrada
and probably a whole host of other artists from Slovakia and Czech Republic
Inigo Kennedy (still occasionally does some harder tracks)
Riotbot
Max Walder
Those lot from Hungary are putting out some darker tracks (Doryk, etc.)
Leo Laker is still making stuff afaik
People like Takaakit Itoh were doing some really heavy shit earier on, but seemed to have calmed down massively :(
TBH, if I really had a scout there is probably still plenty of it out there, like what's been said on many threads, just too much minimal shit everywhere.
Eric Sneo - He may be a little melodramatic, but the man brings it.
Planetary Assault Systems - Seemed to fall off the map for a while, but back of late, and with a vengeance.
Radial - I think we can all agree here.
Anthony Child - He doesn't produce as much as he used to, but the quality is still there and definitely not glitch.
Head Honcho with the Ladies
A.Paul - i differ on above opinions.
and im a convert/soldier for a.paul. Find his work the only kind that exsists and represents proper hard techno. I've made a decision to produce just for his label only if he continues his philosophy.
My techno mix is posted somewhere
A.Paul is not new at all , i see him play live since 1993
is new stuff is boring i agree , but in the 90´s he was a bomb and used to have 3 labels
he have so many classic cd´s and releases in the 90´s just check is old stuff you guys will see the true A.Paul , but the new style he adopted is boring i agree (all old producers are actually with new styles)
its incredible how people know a few Portuguese artists like Ricardo (Industrialyzer) , Francisco Ferreira (The Advent) , Jose Miguel (Ze Mig L) and never heard about the A.Paul... he used to be the best of all in the old days (and was a reference in techno in all Iberic Peninsula Portugal/Spain)
lol mark that list reads 70 / 80% tuff minimal...with the exception of a couple...
need to get digging the crates san ;)
Dj Ze Mig L never lost the mother****ing plot
DJ Ze MigL - 02 Sound of Kuduro (DJ Ze MigL BOOTLEG) - SoundCloud
Dare someone to mix into this from Joey Beltram's Gameform, then into that cheeky bit from Thomas Banghalter on Roule
YouTube - Thomas Bangalter - What To Do (A3)
What the **** you guys.
Sorry to say, but some tribalish tech sounds these days trump what's considered "Hard" now.
Somewhere along the way the lines between "minimal" and "hard" got blurred.
I hear nothing but sheer warmth, on what's considered "hard" these days.
Call it "Warm" or "Deep" even intelligent, because the dudes that made it truly are, but "Hard"...
Remember this was hard...
YouTube - Ben Long "In The Nick Of Time"
That track is warm as **** and trumps whats out now and considered hard.
I'm not being a naysayer and hating on any names mentioned, noticed I pointed no one out, but I just think Hard Techno is abbrasive, exciting, rhythm soaked, and just out right knarly, I want to grin and say **** yeah when I hear it, not smoke a cigarrette outside the club, and go oh, man, the space between those kicks, that guy nailed it.

it is an ace mix, you don't know what you are talking. who makes you the ultimate music-taster?
by the way:
max walder and manu kenton on your arse:
YouTube - Manu Kenton & Max Walder - Adrenaline
I have an old Manu Kenton mix from a few years back. I used to love that mix. I listened to it on the way into work to prep me for listening to people whine about their crappy Internet Connections.
The link in your original post was- I dunno, just not to my taste. Doesn't make me the ultimate music taster at all.
Anyway, can we move on please?
