2005-Big Year For UK Techno

[conflict]

I definately think this year has had the most promising start,since i've been into techno. So many tasty events coming up, and i have heard about loads more on the big grape vine. Also its good to see djs like dave the drummer, chris liberator and obviously mark eg getting bookings at places like the emporium and hardcore heaven( i'm gonna get shot for this) It makes techno a bit more socialably acceptable(can i spell??!!!)

[poisoned antidote]

yeah i know wot u mean...start of the year is always shit for events. But ive seen an been told of a fair few that cant really b missed already!

[Tony]

i reckon it will be a big year all round. now that the majors have left dance music alone, and minimal might actually get some coverage in this country instead of just hard techno. that should put the word techno back into the publics heads once again

[FuK-NuT]

200 punters in a 350 capacity venue....bloody nice to see considering

[MARKEG]

nope, it's time to go for it this year. no more messin about. 2004 was SHIT with a capital SH for alot of ppl (including me in some parts of life). there's a few really big artists i know in techno that had an awful 2004 but are really getting their act together. i think it will be a slow start like always but all the indications are good and the outlook is more than positive.

good luck to everyone in 2005!!

[Florence]

is it true what they say around here: that techno is still underground in the UK, while in The Netherlands it is nearly drowning in its own popularity?

[samba]

well I couldnt answer that ^^^

But...

here in New Zealand the first 5 weeks of 2005 is the best its been for techno in a looong time...

We got Carl Cox (tonight), Michael Mayer (next week) and most importantly Ben Sims two weeks later!!!

:cool:

[conflict]

i'd say its still pretty underground at the moment

not many parties have 1000+

loads of club nights going on tho,certainly say its getting a bit more popular/acceptable than a year or two back

to see piccoto linked to techno hurts my feelings.......cunts like him would fuk the scene good an proper with their commercial way.

hes pish anyway.

[pablo_sonic_terrorist]

I've got a mate who runs a label in the Goth/Industrial scene, he's pretty clued up with his market.
He say's that the whole "goth" scene is a load of bollocks because it's "fashionable" to be a part of.
The goth nights are really busy, but because it is fashion led no one actually buys the records.
i.e. proper shite for all who try to make that sort of music, so it could be a lot worse!
Lesson learned?

Keep it Underground!

[Mindful]

I can deffo see Techno being"fashionable"this year im not realy sure if thats a good thing or not.I personaly prefere it strictly underground thats what keeps Techno pushing forward and with its own identity but I dont own techno so whatever happens happens.
But more importantly I can see the people who are allready involved in the scene getting more involved and better at what they do be they musician, producer, dj ,promoter or clubber it looks good to me plus a lot more people im sure will find or be found by techno in this country this year.
A big :clap: for techno as a whole for 2005 lets push things forward in the right.

yup were running a night in edinburgh and will only play the finest in underground peeps or folk not overpowered by greed, in doing that we dont get over runn by commercil fuks wanting to see carlcox....only real tech headz show face. and are much more up for it too....plus as youve said it is pushing our scene forward.....and door prices are as cheap as poss...wish i could do it for free but thers rent and promotion etc

how easy is it to book say "mr super star x" and ram the place full of folk.....or should we be looking at how we can help advance the scene as a whole?

i know wher my heart lies and it aint with the big names...i luv these underground partys SOOOOO fukin much it, and it hurt me to see wher some folk try to push the scene...ive had a few comin up to me with the "you should get an agent blabla" you could make a fortune etc etc....like i care about fukin the scene to fund my crack habit....i steal for that.

rant over.....im away to see piccotto

[fresh_an_funky_design]

to see piccoto linked to techno hurts my feelings.......cunts like him would fuk the scene good an proper with their commercial way.

im not into all his tunes but you've got to respect how good his production skills are. The Alchemist EP, Bangkok an his tunes on alchemy are amazing in terms of productions. Admittadly his techno has got a trancy tinge to it, but he still gets a fat sound. And all his tunes are really original, and dont consist of a loop an a filtered break down like so many producers out there!

[fresh_an_funky_design]

by the way the bit in the qoute box is my reply! :doh:

[conflict]

must say i agree with you about picotto's production,absolutely spot on!

I read elsewhere that he was shite at the last antiworld tho,dont know why!!??!

[jon connor]

id have to say arm yourselves the s.h.i.t is going down 2005/2006
sum serious time for techno ahead .......new venues/events/ Labels new young artist`s. in wales alone we have managed to create an arsenal of labels along with to new superclub venues in the pipe line. this is without rest of uk and the global effort as a whole. everyone seems to be clude up for 2005 almost as if they been waiting for summit......... " is this the revolution ?" well i been waiting about 10 years so lets f.u.k.i.n av it and enjoy while it last`s . :rambo:

by the way i think the boa community has played a valuble part in this new age of techno respect to
everyone god damm legends....... :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

now go kick ass dudes! :rambo: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
