DAILY SUGGESTED LISTENING

[zan]

Sorry about this everyone but someone needs to put this Dirty Bass in line, whats with all the constant digs about industrial / Birmingham music ?
I dont see any of the Birmingham artists you repetitvely diss giving you grief about your insipid music you make (imo). Your posts are rather patronising at times like everything has been done before / this guys did it first mentallity. Techno is in a bad shape and doesnt need people like you on the negative, whether you are throwing some imaginary gauntlet or not. The scene will inevitably change for the better not the worse. Its ****in' techno after all !

[dirty_bass]

Chill dude, looks like I`ve hit a nerve, hurragh!!
I`m here to provoke discussion!! I`ve got most of the Birmingham sound in my vinyl collection, and I like it, in fact, I don`t think I have ever said I didn`t, nor have I said it is badly produced, nor in-fact have I "dissed it", at least I can`t seem to see where I have?

I just wish they would cheer up a bit , the world is dark enough as it is.
I`m only trying to educate people outside the current tunnel vision that the techno scene has ended up within.

Man, if they were to diss me, then fair enough, I`d take it on the chin, and wouldn`t cry, cos no one is perfect, least of all me, but I think I diss myself enough as it is, I`m already churning away in my own head trying to find some new direction within techno that is a challenge to the ears and the head, yet still remains danceable.

I had a discussion last week, with Jim Fish at his studio, about what to make, and we both kinda agreed that hard techno is just too damn easy to make. It`s become production over content.

Techno is in bad shape for lots of reasons, and the lack of education, and diversity being one of them. People won`t look outside of the "box" and are guilty of following what they are told is "cool". There is to a certain extent a certain amount of peer pressure holding a lot of producers back as well.

Oh, just as an aside, you seem to have placed my discussions about birmingham sound and industrial into the same brackets.
the Birmingham sound is another splinter of techno, and I don`t really consider those guys to be part of the current dark tech/industrial scene at all.

My comment about sum42 was in reference ot the current industrial music being churned out by the likes VNV nation, Cyberaktif, Gravity Kills and (ugh!!) Industrial Heads.
But I guess if you didn`t know what industrial/dark tech music was then this wouldn`t mean much to you.
