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


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.
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.

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.
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.

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

What's a techno snob?
