well said guys :clap: and i'm a fan of "the eye of the tiger" hehehe

.aggressor used 2 play sum quality electro,never been able 2 find any of it though :roll:

hehe, thanks for remembering :)

I loved dropping Electro in the middle of a Techno set, even playing an electro section in the middle of a techno set can work . Had great fun playing some electro back to back with Ribbs at North once.

Just gotta pick the right tunes i guess and at the right time. I have started with electro, ended with electro and sometimes dropped it in the middle, Just makes an interesting change ., I loved it - Not sure the crowd always appreciated it tho :P

But my view is go for it .

[aggressor]

ohh and btw if u want to know any of the tracks just let me know and i will try and id them for u

[Tiptoe]

just drop it as long as its a good tune and done at the right time then go for it

I fully agree that the mood and timing has to be right but I'm following a full on, hard but ****ing excellent DJ who pounds the crowd into submission everytime he plays so I'm gonna kick things off with some Grovskopa/BMB-esque material and then drop some Anthony Rother in to check the water.

How about Mr. Velcro Fastener or Scape 1? Aril Brikha has made some cool electro tracks and so have other artists like The Advent, for example. I have an album from Dave Ellesmere and there are some really good electro tracks on there. BPitch Control has a whole roster of great electro artists and Electrix has also had some strong releases... There's a whole lot of great electro out there, I wonder why most tech-freaks ignore it? Maybe they get confused by the non-linear kick patterns? I agree that some (most?) techno crowds aren't open to electro, but it's my opinion that it's up to the DJ to educate the crowd, give them something new to dance to. After all, that's what a DJ is supposed to do, right? Always search for new music for the freaks to dance to?

i used to live in the detroit area, and going out there, it was hard not to hear electro and techno played together. the two seem like such natural brothers, with such intertwined beginnings, that this whole situation really perlexes me.

In Melbourne techno and electro and even sometimes house music all get played together!!

hmm, almost agreeing with you. electro was electro, then hip hop, while house was house then techno. both emerging around the same time, both from the robot, dark mindspace. i'm agreeing with ya, but being a bit more specific :-)

[FILTERZ]

i have allways been a bit vague ya know

allow me to flex my nerd credentials by splitting hairs...cybotron, while sounding like electro to our ears, are usually considered the first techno, and that was in 1981. jesse saunders "on and on", the first house track, is from 1983, so techno (and the techno/electro alliance) predate house.
