Are you still sticking > with the deeper end of house and techno? hm, this is an interesting topic, and i was enjoying reading the responses, so i thought i'd chime in. i also figured maybe somebody would be interested in my opinion as 50% (home) listener, 25% producer, 25% dj. that mix is probably flip-flopped for most of you, and even when i spin, i think i only hit about half "this-listy" musics. how long have we been here? i think six years, right? i know i've only been around for five at the most, but i think it's interesting how the scene has changed. when i first got into the scene, the atmospheres and minimalism sucked me in - i was much more on the tech- end than the -house end (even if we all kinda think the label is poopy). if i look at the development of that T-H sound, i think about 1996-1998 it crystallised, with what i feel are classics like the first swayzak 12"s, theorem, mr c's mixes, alter ego, etc usw... nowadays, i don't really feel 75% of what you guys talk about (the disco-y revival stuff, trentemoeller, fred everything, etc usw), but that's fine, because i would sleep on some great records otherwise (big thank you to whoever put out the word on shane berry). looking back at the past two years, let's say, my two best albums from each year are mikkel metal _victimizer_ and monolake _polygon cities_. i've been buying lots of the areal/sender, boxer, logo, treibstoff, sleeparchive type stuffs. kompakt is still good, m_nus is still good, traum is still good, perlon is still good... so yeah, it seems a lot of us are not buying the same sound we were years ago, but that's fine, because that sound doesn't really exist anymore anyways. that's a good thing. stagnant sucks. ;) -- micah stupak micah@... www.benthic.cc benthic recordings - soundings from unexplored places oblique strategy: accretion Previous: DJ Satori - "Re: requests? no thanks..." |
