i havnt been out east very much, played in toronto in 2002, but that was it. so i dont know much about the east. Except that Montreal seems to get wicked shows on a regular basis.
but i can say that the west really doesnt have anything all that strong. It is VERY underground, which is great in its own way, but we can never see any headliners besides the usual London people like Chris Liberator and Henry and a few other people that come here regularly (not that i am complaining, i love those guys to death) but it would be nice to see some other styles, and some new talent (but it seems that new talent just doesnt sell out here...)
Vancouver and BC area is also really rare for techno, i know of a few people who do techno events out there, but its the same as here as far as i can tell, very underground, and locally run.
I feel as if western Canada has alot of potential, as alot of people here havnt really experienced techno, or their view of it is alot different than what it is actually like now.
I miss the days when Plastic Puppet Motive ruled the Canadian scene, there were some wicked wicked techno parties out there in the good ol' prairies!
I hear nothing but complaints from techno people in Toronto, but i am not really in a position to comment on it.
any other canadians want to elaborate on their scenes? what Canadian artists are pushing it for us?
yes...i know i copied the idea from the american techno scene, im bored, and i know it definatly wont get as big as that thread...im just curious to see where this goes
when i get back from Australia next year, its one of my goals to start pushing the techno scene forward...i know there are alot of great people here who have the same view as me.
KEEP TECHNO ALIVE!
