sorry but if that's what you call techno...

jesus christ....thats absolutely awful.

1st time id listened to an alex calver track and this will be the last. NONE of them tunes on that juno list are worthy of more that a 2 second listen. awful![/quote]

had a listen too...that aint techno....and it even says so on the page.....hardhouse

yup...had a listen myself on chemical at both the techno and hardhoose
alex calver has on there...and it all sounded the same to me ie hardhoose

only difference was there was less of a break down on the techno tracks..

Alex Calver posts on BOA so maybe ask him whether he thinks it's HH or techno.

Id say his stuff is close to London techno imo!!!

Ive deffinately heard a hell of alot worse.

**schlongfingers** · 28-01-2005, 12:33 PM

The Glitch one is OK, well one track on it is anyway.

As much as I do not like HH, I have no problem with HH DJ's & producers doing techno. It's up to them & who are to judge? If you don't like it then you don't have to listen to it, simple as that. If they're not into for genuine reasons then they won't last long so it's nothing to be worried about. Techno was here before HH dj's got involved and will be long after, so just enjoy your techno & stop worrying about the others.

We all have different tastes at the end of the day, if we didn't, it would be very boring but then we'd moan about that too ;)

i think the point that people get pissed off with hard house djs trance djs wot ever in that music is this,,,,,,,i dont no if any of you hear have experienced it but i have. for years ive played techno in these kind of clubs also i won a big competition 5 years ago as a youngster at North.
the problem i faced was constant bitching,,,,,things like wots that s.h.i.t you playing.people in the competition saying it was a fix because i playe twisted crap.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! so for years at venues in the sordidid world of dj bitching i was lets say a bit peeved with the constant slagging of the music i was trying to play..........seems now is the case most of the partys concerned here with the abuse i received are now playing techno.......an almost overnight conversion........so are these people genuinely into techno or are they just playing it because it seems to be in fashion at the moment.

im not saying every hard house hard style etc artist are the same but i have had my fare share of abuse like other artists from sum guys who are now playing are sound they slagged off in the first place.

i dont want to raise an issiue but more of a point here,,,i dont care who plays techno im not bothered im happy techno is on the up. the thing i get concerned about is the way in this country we seem to have a rather high speed band wagon.....

hahaha At least something good has come from this thread. :clap:

**Mindful** · 28-01-2005, 10:05 PM

hmmmmm dont know what to say on this subject realy the only sort of post I can come up with would be negative im afraid.
I must agree with Tony the most and I can realy relate to what Jon Conner is saying the people who have been telling me Techno is w*nk for years are now trying educate me on the subject when its evident that they only know a little about it BUT whos to say people cannot change their minds on what they like not me anyway.

and thats the most posative answer I have for a load of hard house peeps jumping on to the techno bandwagon and polluting my precious techno :cry:

:lol:

**Mindful** · 28-01-2005, 10:20 PM

Basicley my point is this
people are free to do whatever they want with music.I try to not let it affect me.
But sadly it does seem to affect me dont know why,maybe its to do with the amount of passion I put in to the full Techno life and im starting to feel a bit pesicuted myself for being a bit of a purist by people who imo dont have a clue what its realy about and just seem to be lodging in the next big thing but maybe they have different ideas on what its about.

We will see who is still techno when the next fad is happening then they will get my respect(not that my respect is worth shit to anyone who doesnt know me or anyone attall for that matter im just not that important realy)

You need to check out glitch 6. Probably the best techno I own at the moment.

**Ginjin** · 29-01-2005, 09:17 AM

....ask someone who doesn't listen to any of the many various sub genres of techno and you know what they will call it.....Techno...no matter if it is hard house, acid, trance, etc. Imo this outlook is bang on and if it sounds good and floats your boat....****ing play it and keep the sets interesting.

What u suggest then mate? Should i stop making music altogether? Maybe i'll throw away all my records too and cancel my gigs. Obviously u seem to have some kind of musical authority and insight. Maybe we could arrange for you to share your production blueprints with me and i could attempt to make tracks to cater for your particular requirements. Or maybe i should'nt even be on YOUR forum and i should f*** off back to hardhouse where i belong...

Pass me my coat on the way out, cheers
