What would you say if I said...



'Techno is losing it's edge and becoming part of what it so desperately tries not to be. Half the productions that are being made are totally unimaginative, sound the same and most of the people involved in techno are so far up their own arse that they lost in their own dog sh*t. Distributors like Prime (who run labels such as Primate, Primevil etc) are not interested in pushing musical boundaries, they're just interested in what sells. Simply check out the sales notes for certain Prime releases and they seem to be happy about the fact that Judge Jules and Fergie are supporting techno. If we're not careful we're going to lose underground techno as it merges with the mass of Radio 1 crap that comes under the general heading 'dance music'. Once techno merges with commercialism we might as well forget it.'



It's something that is spinning around in my head after a chat with one of the UK's leading techno producers... Let me know what you all think...
