The Techno scene where you are...

[morbid]

I saw Ben Klock Friday night at Timbuk2 in Bristol

It was absolutely drilling all night

Was expecting a more deep and moody affair having listened to a bit of his releases

He just played ****ing hard techno for about 4 hours. Club was rammed. Best night I've had in quite a few years. No drugs either, didnt stop dancing until I left

But I agree nights are few and far between these days, you have to travel further afield.

to be fair, October sounds a bit harder than what I've heard in the past, going from this;

Even to have sets like this in Bristol is extremely rare.

But of course this is still a fraction compared the batshit Techno I used to lay down at Carnage and still do on the odd occasion. Infact if anything I've personally got more abstract and relentless with age.

We're just inundated with what I can only describe as lounge music in clubs.

And what with the Bristol crowd wanting everything for free if it isn't a "named" DJ, clubs being pricey and Council/other promoters wrecking any chance of promoting through flyering and postering, I personally CBA to run a club night.
