2007, a good year for techno? Your thoughts...

[Si the Sigh]

...please.

[rhythmtech]

yeah i think it was good.. a lot of producers tried new things and there were a lot of good records released.

for me personally it was great to get the label going.

hopefully 2008 will be even better..




speaking of which, isnt it time for the 2007 awards? :xcool:

[acidguru]

Also think it wasn´t too bad..
Like Baz said,lots of artists and producers tried some new and different stuff,which can only be good for Techno Music i think,or to say it with the Gang of Four:One step forward,2 steps back..

[massplanck]

i thought 2007 was a big year of change for techno, it seems to do this every 5 or so years imo, but this year it was very noticable. can't wait to see what 2008 has in store and i really hope that the industry sorts itself out and enable up and coming producers to get their music out there.

i think it was a bad year for techno untill my first choons in over six months have just came through (Bought online), now for me it is the best.

its been the worst year since records began and you know it has.

i could show reems of shite bland techno which has been released this year on Juno.

Schranz is a joke aswell. **** shranz.

[SlavikSvensk]

can't say too much inspired me, but i did hear a few decent records

[Loop]

Lets see - Robag Wrhume, Pascal FEOS, Luca Baccetti, Concrete DJz, Deepchord, Deadmau5, Joel Mull and the new D.A.V.E. and Ant stuff is pushing new ideas.
Damn fine year if you can be arsed looking around.

hahaha... ok i get ya im a lower class sorry i bow to thee!

i think this year was deffo better than last for uk techno at least... i feel with techno nights really holding there own and new strong events starting show that there is still a big techno crowd and more than that the kids are getting on to it thro im guessing the whole minnimal boom ... also i feel minimal sectors of minimal have started to get recognised and less alienated by the harder techno scene thus keeping us all under the same banner of techno that said its a massive year with techno djs dominating the big festivals i.e. carl cox , dave clarke , sven vaith and more... yes there is a comercial element of annoying techno all over 2007 but at least its techno gettin much needed pr as one of the main reasons "Harder" techno production has slipped in last 4 years is that the big players have moved away due to lack of bookings and sales and i feel its the club sceane boom in techno will knock on to luring bigger artists back to putting out the stuff i know i still am waiting to hear.

I think main thing im getting at 2007 was better than 2006 and i think 2005 so yes was a good year hahahaaha

[dirty_bass]

It was another year as far as I can remember.
Nothing at all remarkable happened. Lots of samey samey records that no one remembers came out, and a few good ones came out oo.

A number of techno club nights have had encouraging attendance, and some new ones have survived the year, which is very positive.

To balance that out karmicly, some more record shops have hit the shit pan, along with more distribution.

Another year, and things seemed to have leveled out. Hopefully then, things will be on the up for next year.
