Calgary Alberta Canada
Well interesting times here, small Techno scene getting bigger as we push the Techno. I still play the old school hard and Acid Techno records and the people go off proper :) but Calgary has become a Drum and Bass mecca huge shows huge rocking dance floors so that's cool I LOVE DnB!!! NO DUBSTEP for me tho!! lol :)
Recently we had a big Techno show with Chris Liberator and Sterling Moss it went off well and they pounded it out proper! It was awesome! So I see some potential for Techno to come back here :) Sterling came back a couple of weeks ago and gave us a great show too! Loved it!
Really frustrated with the selection of Techno out there! unfortunately I find a lot of it too generic, slow, clubby, and boring. I went through thousands of tracks building a digital set, wheres the pounding soul and guts in most of them?! Thank goodness for all the amazing DnB out there! lol but I have found some good proper Techno still exists and if I overlay the minimal slow tracks and use 3 to 4 decks while pitching up to a proper fast tempo it can sound full and thick like proper Techno :)
I am hopeful.
