Funky Techno

[death on a stick]

Thanks for the tip.

Death on a stick, I can see what you're trying to say, but I think it's probably better you laugh to yourself behind your computer screen if you want to take the Michael out of what's being said here rather than the barrage of verbal shite your posting here, all can I ask is is your job really that boring??
Duncan, I don't think you've done yourself any favours by rising to the bait, and to the both of you, dropping the standards to a basic slagging match is a pretty pathetic really....
There's no greater put down than the sound of one hand clapping i.e. if it's getting on your tits there's always the ignore button....

death - i do have a serious problem with your attitude sometimes. but you are obviously well into your own way of thinking and i do respect that and i admire it. but in the same way, shouldn't u respect everyone else's opinions? i really wish you would.

the main thing i hope ppl have learnt from this thread is that if you poke fun at someone asking for help, they disappear off and wish they'd never asked. this is really annoying. it's this whole mentality of keeping everything for yourself. poke fun and have a laugh about some 'leecher'. well aren't you the big man? it's so annoying. and it's not productive at all.

if i see someone out there on the floor asking for help, i help them. i don't care what they've been into, what complete rubbish they listen to. you help them - point them in the right direction without being sarcastic or rude. this thread should have been a post about everyone's different interpretations of funky techno to give addict some labels to search for. instead public school snobs have gatecrashed the party.

well that's the way i see it anyway.

PS some EXCELLENT comments by some really genuine forum members btw.

No. I respect everyone else's right to an opinion, but of course I don't respect everyone else's opinions, and neither does anyone else.


For example:

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

It's hard to respond to something like that respectfully. Why should I respect an opinion that is based on ignorance and bullshit, particularly when the person behind it then resorts to playground tactics and petty insults when their ignorance is pointed out to them? Doesn't make sense to me.

Aside from maybe one or two posts in the whole thread, I was the only person to give examples of funky techno that's worth listening to, worth searching out. Stuff like In-Tec and most of Primate etc is for children, why encourage someone to waste their time on that? Is that productive? How is that helping anyone other than the leechers (your word, just adopting it for my own uses) who throw up endless identical EPs of tripe for the masses to eat up?

Yeah well, what you see is what you get. The same topic being discussed "in real life" will get the same response. You'll have noted, presumably, that I don't start with the insults until either they are directed at me by your "really genuine forum members", or I read something so stupid that it's insulting.

Yeah, well I respect your right to be wrong, as well as your right to have an opinion.

You should try that line when the real grim reaper turns up at your door many years from now. I'm sure he'll repent and decide to let you keep your soul. Or was it funk? I can never remember. mmmmm, funky techno.

[MARKEG]

ok then. points said and made. i have my way, you have yours.

i don't agree with you but hey, i'm not going to change you on the internet am i...

Hydraulix is funk!

[Addict]

I can't believe how asking for Funky techno can cause such an uproar. I respect the fact that it probably isn't a genre or sub genre that people recognise but it was a certain type of music that I was looking for.
What the ****

[MARKEG]

it's mad but that's one of the things about techno. people believe in it but everyone has their own version of it. the thing about most other genres that have come up over the years is that you can easily pigeon hole them. techno has been around since the begininng - there's so many different sub genres and styles of techno it's silly. good but silly. that's why arguments like this start very easily.

[MARKEG]

dont take it to heart addict.. death did actually point some really good labels out as did many others on here. you just need to get yourself down to a good record shop and make your own mind up.

[dan the acid man]

the best advice i can give you is to spend as long as possible in a record shop or even online and listen to as many different labels as possible and make up your own mind, thats what i do

There still seems to be a lot of confusion about all this. Maybe this will help.
Detroit techno comes from Detroit, right ?
So Funky techno obviously comes from :






Easy, innit !

[Patrick]

And any newbies trying to get into the Funky sound would do well to check out these seminal albums which defined the sound of the city and, indeed, the genre.

Some of you guys are pathetic. I agree with Mark EG. When someone asks for help, you help them. If you can't be bothered to help because they don't like the same crap you do, ignore them.

It's funny, I love all styles of techno but the absolute one style I have never been into is the UK acid techno thing. I see it spoken of on the forum here all the time but I don't waste my time bashing people for it in their threads. It's pointless, it would be a waste of my time and their's. I'm not here to take any sides. I just want to know why in the hell do you waste your time arguing about stuff that doesn't concern you?
