What should i look out for

[doc12inch]

can anyone tell me if there is any record labels or producers I should be checking out in the near future.

my style ranges from funky to hard techno. i do prefer a drop of the hard stuff tho.

i wanna get the edge on most of the people in my area.

er... I recommend you get a good record shop and go evey week - and make your mind up like everybody else.

And from your description it gives me no idea what labels/producers you currently like - funky and hard actually describes every techno record ever produced in somebodies mind.

ALL TECHNO IS FUNKY!

Sorry if this sounds arsey but it has to be the dumbest question anybody asks = its all personal taste mate.

Some constructive advice there as usual from Johnny speed, if you have nothing constructive to say don't say anything at all. And for your information not all techno is funky, techno is a vast and complex genre.

For Funky
Try Primate, Primevil, ben sims, player, Stanny fransen, pornographic, MB electronics, intec are a few artists labels to look out for.

for hard
Adam Beyer, chris leibing, heinrik b, Lenny dee,
if you go to the techno exchange section and look at the list of records Mark EG is selling that pretty much covers the hard section

for hard stuff look for crowbar records and artillery!

I picked up a track not so long ago at Massive on a white label with royal written on it I think the artist was jack richard or something great track with some dark bassline in it.

Dirty Bass is always a good one. I haven't heard anything I don't like on that label.
Lars klein and Micheal Burkat I'm playing alot of at the moment too. Very clean production.

And thanks for your repetitive half screen NU NRG flyer you tosser...

- and your answer says it all. You stated very obvious artists that anybody could get from just walking into the shittiest of techno record shops. Hardly cutting edge new producers.

Its all subjective - thus I maintain the question was dumb.

So Lenny Dee's stuff on Subvert is hard but not funky eh?

[jonnyspeed]

thanks for the non help anyways


Sorry, man - wasn't meaning to be offensive just a pet hate - just get a bit passionate sometimes and definately too assertive.

I think Kiddaz and Killaz FM are preety damn fine for funkier and rawer warehouse tracks.

Projex/Digital Primate have been on a bit of a roll recently

Always worth picking up Hydraulix and Powertools - and sifting through 4x4 and Cluster stuff.

If you like the miami bass influenced stuff then there is alot of ghettotech stuff you might like from the likes of DJs Rush, Bam Bam, Godfather etc.

You might not like all of it but DjaxUp Beats releases alot of straight-up 4 to the floor tracks that devistate crowds.

Mark Hawkins - nuff said?

As for getting a jump on the other DJ round Birmingham - start using German websites such as nuloop or musichead.de - you'll find lots of b-sides and rarities that never make it past a few specialist UK stores such as trackheads. If you still want to buy locally you can have a quiet word at your record shop to order stuff in for you = musichead.de is particularly good for putting lists together if you print the contents your 'cart' but don't check out ;)



...and finally check out John Peels listings on bbc's radio section.

...again stoory for being arsey. And Stuart, man sort out your signature, please?

Thanks

Theres no need to be abusive.

This is a friendly board where if people ask a question for help they usually get a helpful answer.

And where in the above text did I mention lenny dee on Subvert.

I just said look out for Lenny Dee.
