Firstly, can I ask people to READ what I posted above, and digest it please..


[quote="dtl"]why not just produce music that sell 6000 copies rather than staying in this scene of minority/quote]

Ha! Chance would be a fine thing, if I could sell 6000 copies of records on my label, I wouldn't be in half the financial strife I'm in at the moment! And it's not as simple as "Just writing something that will sell 6000 copies", this would lead up the lowest common denominator path very quickly.. If you're going to go about it in the angle of shifting units, then you might as well write pop music, then again, I hear the market for that is pretty volatile these days..
That's not to say that it isn't worth doing techno stuff, I love it, still after 8 years I want to do stuff.. I'm also experimenting though, trying to do other stuff (I.e. not techno, or any genre) that hasn't been put in a box yet....

I think the average techno DJ has taken it to the stage where the records he plays have to be an extention of his penis rather than a musical workout for the punter...
Nice one Massplanck, my sentiments entirely! And nice one for the Lidell reference, the man is a true innovator, interestingly enough he moved out of the techno thing pretty quick after some stunning releases (Subhead 1-4, Freekin the Frame 8, Safety in numbers + 1 remix on tresor) and moved on to new territory which I personally think is 10 times more Techno (In attitude if mothing else) than any other supposed techno, check him out live if you want to see what innovation is all about.. Truely stunning...
