Where's techno going in 2011?

[JamieBall]

Techno is going all over facebook in 2011 - with more and more people realising they don't even need a quality control threshold and can just shout endlessly about releases/forthcoming releases/gigs/reviews etc on all the major social networking platforms to the point where anyone who has half a brain is physically annoyed out of the scene, thus leaving a glut of thoroughly untalented also rans to mill about in the remaining quagmire, endlessly downloading their own music and telling themselves how good it is (beatport EXCLUSIVE, most likely)

Actually discount anything I've previously said, I just received a fax informing me that techno is going to the Maldives in 2011.

I think techno is healthier now that some of the faddish scenes (minimal, dubstep, etc.) have grown less faddish and scene-driven, and more in the music's overall sonic vocabulary. I like when stuff gets jumbled up and repurposed; I hate scenes and sub-genres. I hope 2011 brings more recombination and less balkanization.

This.
