West Coast USA... techno scene?

**tocsin** · 21-01-2005, 05:45 PM

I'm a bit out of the loop with SoCal now for techno. Out of the places mentioned, I'd think SF would be the best. The SPAZ, 5lowershop and Otherworld collectives have sounds all across the spectrum and do stuff on the regular.
In Portland, while I lived there for a short stint, the biggest scene seemed to be around House. You'll bump into some kids that are into to techno or harder varieties of music but not so much that you'll hear it in a space on the regular.

hello! i've been AWOL from the board for a while, but can report from seattle that the scene here is...okay.

if you like chin-stroking minimal and glitch, mostly performed with laptops, there's a lot to hear. there is also a lot of appreciation for detroit techno, so people like derrick may play here with some regularity. however, if you want club/hard/dark techno, there is jack sh**. go to vancouver for that.

Well I live almost west coast but not quite. Here in Az there is not techno other than myself really. There are a couple people who play it at times, but I am the main techno support here. Anytime there is a need for the genre, I am the man to bring it. Things used to be different, but right now our scene here is highly over run by D&B and breaks.

**BRADLEE** · 10-03-2005, 01:27 AM

However the over running by other genres will cease soon. I have plans in changing things, especially now that there is another heavy hitter here in AZ. Tony and I will be working on a PA very soon!!!!
