Funky Techno

[death on a stick]

I`m affraid there are some techno snobs on this forum lurkin about. "Funky" techno does tend to be more dancefloor friendly and sometimes crosses over to tech-house. Some people consider music that people actually like and DANCE to, to be below them

:lol:

[miromiric.]

you are naive :D death. stop wasting your time. good music comes to people with passion after some time all by itself.

I causes me pain to know that people are wasting their lives isolating themselves behind the proliferation of cheap rubbish. I know I should leave them to it, but just think how much time Addict could save by bypassing tripe like In-Tec and moving straight onto better, dare I say "funkier" things.

S'funny, the people who bang on about the 'purists' strangely seem to be the same people who won't open their ears up to anything other than what they're currently into...

word. I seriously think that most people worthy of the tag "purist" are the very fools who continually wheel the term out in discussions to justify their lack of understanding.

"my techno is better than yours, ner ner ner ner ner :love:, it is, my mummy said so"

I think though whole point has been lost.

What purpose does this comment serve. Does this mean everyone should only listen to dark experimental techno all the time, and not anything else?
Isn`t variety the key, both the light and the dark. I personally like all forms of techno and indeed music, I try to listen to as much as I can, if you only pick one genre to listen to your opinion becomes invalid as you loose a point of reference. And then you become self referential, and anal, which is the downfall of creativity.

Jeeez, the guy only wanted to get some pointers for some clubby, funky techno, for all you know he probably has a huge collection of old experimental industrial music from the late 70`s and early 80`s and is bored of listening to Reeko, surgeon, wunsch and fancied a change.

...and is licking the insides! :wicked:

I fu*king hate you techno snobs! Techno can be hard, techno can be deep, techno can be funky & techno can be clanking. Check the 4X4 label. It covers it all. Right, point proved me thinks. Now wheres my funky old 2-Unlimited CD gone?...

No, and I can't imagine what thought process led you to this suggestion. Perhaps a lack-of-thought process.

Agreed, except I don't listen to all music as only a tiny portion of it is worth listening to. That still amounts to more than I could ever listen to within my lifetime, so I'm certainly not going to waste more time than I have to listening to low grade fodder. Neither am I going to encourage others to do so.

Yeah this is a good point. I did make an assumption, but that was based on another assumption, that being that anyone with that experience with music wouldn't waste a second of their life trying to find out about the sort of stuff that Carl Cox plays and would continue to explore more interesting music.

I fu*king hate you techno snobs! Techno can be hard, techno can be deep, techno can be funky & techno can be clanking.

oooh, I hope it doesn't do all of them at the same time, that would be well confusing.

What's a techno snob?

[Si the Sigh]

...a nob with a 's' in front of it.

[dirty_bass]

ok, enough, let`s just kiss and make up, although I don`t have any lipstick :love:

[Si the Sigh]

Nah, seriously, why did you have to put Addict down for calling it 'funky techno'? If it sounds funky to him, who the fu*k are you to tell him its not? I hear loads of tracks I think sound funky, or hard, and thats how it is to me.

I didn't put him down. I merely informed him that there is no such genre as funky techno. "Funky" is an adjective.

Thanks for the info.

Your not wrong mate, It's that Hard, Industrial sound that got me into techno in the first place. I've been buying this sort of techno for years just fancied something different for a change and wondered if there were any labels that catered for this sound specifically.

YOU ARE!

addict asked a question and you knew perfectly well what he wanted in response. instead of answering the question or just ignoring it you decided to poke fun at the question and its context. if you dont like the stuff that he asked for that is fine. just dont comment on it. if he had asked for some information on detroit techno then the stuff that you suggested would have been relevant. HE DIDNT he asked for 'funky' techno - something which you may not like and that is fair enough - however - systematically ripping the p!ss just makes you sound like you aren't getting any sex (do you D.I.Y. by any chance?)

what are you on about you? the stuff I listed is far and away funkier than anything else listed on this thread, he asked for funky, I gave him funky. The stuff I listed is not all from Detroit either, neither does it all sound like it's from Detroit. Get a clue, for fuc.ks sake, you're embarrassing yourself.

[duncandisorderly]

i don't think so.

you're the one acting like you got your period.

[death on a stick]

I'm fine, cheers, the only bleeding I do is out my rear end after a particularly fiery curry, and believe me the smell of that is funkier than any In-Tec release.

[duncandisorderly]

you want to be careful with that. that fiery curry coming through so close to where your head is. you might get chilli burn on your eyes.
