Techno addiction...

**Si the Sigh** · 01-09-2006, 08:44 AM

Ok, serious question, is it possible to be addicted to techno?

I think I am!

I'm always looking for, and always finding shed loads of quality records. I spend about £200 a month on vinyl on old and new stuff.

I can't understand it when people moan about the lack of quality techno out there when there's sooooo much.

To me, techno is timeless. It doesn't ever sound dated, where as other genres can and do sound dated quickly.

I'm always looking for that next killer track, something amazingly fresh and new, or something old that others may have missed. It's more than just a music thing for me.

Is anyone else hopelessly in love with the wonderful sound of techno? Are you addicted? How deep does your love go? :love:

PS: I don't think this is a cry for help (yet)

Im not a Dj so I dont spend much money on records BUT...............

I cant function on the way to work with out my walkman keeping me going, sure I get weird looks from all the drones on the bus as I smile & bop my head but I ask myself who's the richer? :lol: ?

Then Im onto the forums the moment I hit the office chatting tunes, talking events and chasing dreams!!!

The weekend lands and all though I felt shit from last weekend until today and I promised myself I wasnt going to do it again this weekend, something tells me I know where im gonna end up.........

Addicted to TECHNO??????

Also, why is it that the people into Dark / Experimental techno are the ones who moan the most and seem to be so negative on this board?

No joke, serious question. :)

**stjohn** · 01-09-2006, 01:14 PM

coz theyre parents did strange things to them when they were puppies

**Si the Sigh** · 01-09-2006, 01:19 PM

Ah! :lol:

**Mucky Beats** · 01-09-2006, 01:26 PM

im more hooked on techno than a crack head on rocks! its hard tho coz i love it so much i find it harder to find good techno...no what i mean?

its like 4 years ago i use to walk out of the record shop with like 20 tunes and love um all... now im lucky to find one worth buying! is it good techno is getting harder to find or is it i just know more and expect a higher standerd?

**Fusion** · 01-09-2006, 02:00 PM

i think there is something too it - i find at times i'd rather skip a meal to buy a record :lol:

but ... i do think it's a combination of the love for records and the "hunt" itself

**ERROR404** · 01-09-2006, 02:46 PM

I've bought about 6 records in the last two years - partly for financial reason, partly becasue i very rearely find tunes i like. Plus i've spent most of my time producing and finding my sound. There is plenty of good stuff out there, everyones taste is different, but i still think 95% of techno pressed is rubbish, formulatic and boring.

**basslinejunkie** · 01-09-2006, 03:06 PM

likewise,all i buy 90 percent of the time nowadays are old tunes

**jock** · 01-09-2006, 03:29 PM

I would love to spend loads of money every week on new records, but I find myself so limited financially that i only really end up buying old records that I love, or new ones that I have heard out in a club recently.

Sometimes I wonder whether it limits you in terms of djing experience as I tend to just play with the same records all the time. really need to make an effort and play tracks on b-sides etc

But i cant stop listening to techno in my car, i occasionly have a bit of The Knife/Thom Yorke/Daft Punk on but most of the times its recent djs sets.

**ERROR404** · 01-09-2006, 03:46 PM

see i can;t listen to techno in the car. i find i drive like a c*nt!!!
