Saw scuba last night, great set. Some kids in the back were looking awfully confused about their dubstep hero laying down a (mostly) techno set but most of the crowd was up for it. If you're in one of the cities he's playing during his little North American tour, make sure to go see him!

If you aren't on be-at watching the stream of Drumcode at Gashouder right now you are making a grave mistake. Beyer just started and I think they are also streaming Capriati after that. I guess you can watch the replay later... I guess. The "studio" mixes from earlier were pretty good too!

Truncate - Bodega V2 Sian - Equus (Dustin Zahn remix) Chris Colburn - Destiny (Cari Lekebusch 6:00 remix) Brian Sanhaji & Drumcell - Structure Attemporal - Att 3 (Rebekah remix) Funkier: A Made Up Sound - Sweetback Slower: Dense & Pika - Bad Back Happier: Gary Beck - Algoreal Not on youtube: Kyle Geiger - Ritualistic Unrelated oldie but goodie bonus.

Right on, if you haven't already, definitely check out Drumcode Radio https://www.drumcode.se and the CLR podcasts https://www.clr.net. Those are the two biggest labels for this style, Drumcode tending towards a cleaner pumpy sound and even having a little bit of a tech-house lean these days, vs CLR being a bit more rough and tumble with experimental tendencies. They both have a a couple years of podcasts done at this point, and tracklists are easy to find (CLR usually posts them on their site, the DCR mixcloud usually has them also). You'll find oodles of stuff along these lines in those mixes.

Dude you can't have an oldschool list without this. Or this. Not in my mind, anyway. (not trying to rag on your picks though, they're good ones!) On a less jungle techno and more modern techno note, I really enjoyed this track that I heard in the recent 8 Sided Dice podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjS7zpAAR88 breaks fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Dec 22, 2012 |

Just getting around to listening through the past couple weeks of releases, the new Inigo Kennedy is really good... All three tracks are, but this one is my favorite, I like this kind of stuff at the moment, a little melodic but not cheezy and still nice and heavy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSrc1_BmBtw

Anyone have any idea what the track is at 1h29m in Tommy FourSeven's set on be-at last night? Lots of good sets from that night by the way, here's the link to the T47 one: http://www.be-at.tv/brands/studio-80/clr-warehouse-party/tommy-four-seven.go

A bit of a longshot but anyone know of any techy things going on during SXSW? Don't seem to have gotten any straight up techno this year, Hawtin is here again I guess, but other than that it looks like Derrick Carter, Loco Dice, Digweed because hey it's John Digweed, I guess Pete Tong and Scuba are playing Sunday but I doubt Scuba will be playing much techno when he's gigging with Tong? Wasn't much a fan of the RA showcase lineup, will probably try to catch our man Nautiluss when he plays. Anyway if I'm missing something please let me know.  Really a bit disappointed that nobody managed to drag Capriati down here since he's got some days free next week. I'm sure someone tried and couldn't work it out.

Post whatever you want as far as I'm concerned and I'm not trying to rag on anyone's music choices, but Disclosure is pop music ala deadmau5/skrillex/et al, which is not really what this thread goes for. That it's garage influenced pop music instead of prog house influenced or dubstep influenced or whatever doesn't make much difference, it's on another planet than the more underground style sounds that are usually posted here.

That I Love You remix is seriously one of my very favorite tracks ever. Basically impossible to improve on and structured in a way that makes it a lot of fun to mix, too.

I'd file it somewhere in the minimal / prog house area. Probably can find some things like that amongst the tracks and sets from Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Dominik Eulberg, Oliver Lieb, Max Cooper, Paul Kalkbrenner...? Just to grab a couple things off youtube real quick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GYW8lg6CQc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb9Lw-pxCew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ1AN0AHJBE I guess most of this kind of stuff doesn't have a similar wonky bit at the end, but there's surely some similar stuff to that too in the huge stacks of minimal tracks that got put out, I'd think?

Some people just get bored of calling everything a remix. Some people are trying to indicate that something else, but what that is varies so much from person to person that it's basically a meaningless term. That said, a lot of the time in stuff labelled "refix" what they've done is to use one element of a track (eg. the main hook) without changing it much or at all, but replacing everything else. But like I say, you won't have much trouble digging up examples where that's not the case.

The first lineup announcement for Movement was today and it's a doozy again this year. Plus I'm finally going to make up there, got my tickets already! Super excited even though it's 5 months away still. Tons of stuff I'm really looking forward to seeing, Liebing, Sanhaji, Monoloc, Dustin Zahn always does good sets, Stacey Pullen, Kenny Larkin, Luis Flores, Raiz, Speedy J + Lucy, I'm leaving a bunch off here because otherwise I'd just be listing off 2/3rds of the poster.

Wow, $107 at the downtown Westin is a crazy good price, the VIP ticket block of rooms there was $200+tax/night. I ended up staying a couple miles away, but the place has a shuttle that will take you down to Hart Plaza, and I managed to swing the flights, 4 night stay, and ticket for under a grand, pretty pleased about that.

Eh, bear in mind we're coming from halfway across the country, got VIP tix, there for 4 nights, and I got my own room. Don't VIP, stay 2 or 3 nights and split it with someone, maybe you don't have to travel as far, it can easily cost less. This is my first year to go so I'm not too sure on the prices. My friends who went last year said they had no trouble finding whatever party favors they wanted, not my bag these days so I didn't really get details. Food and beer they said was typical festival price (that is, expensive), so think like $6 for a normal size beer and so on. I think they went to several of the major afterparties at The Works etc, which were $20-$30ish each? Someone who was there last year can probably give you a better idea though.

Sharkjumping aside I reminded myself this evening that Oliver Lieb actually made a lot of great techy tracks once you sort through all the full on trance stuff... Especially the LSG Black Series stuff is just great.

Don't die on me little techno thread! Movement was pretty great. I went to Interface/Scene on Sunday night and that was one hell of a party. Was a little pissed that I missed the hour or so of Sandwell District, didn't find out about it till after.  No real complaints though, top quality sets all around. Sound wasn't so great at the underground stage at Movement itself but I guess it's as good as can be expected from that concrete box, and the atmosphere of it is pretty cool.Inigo Kennedy's Vaudeville album came out and it's real good, here's a couple selections: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bAvgaoM_RM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcN-1gAcTTw New Zahn is good too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYVsAgIZobk Guess I'm into a bunch of tech-trance bullshit lately but I've kind of had my fill of the dark soundscape poo poo I suppose. Kyle Geiger sets erry day. Also, forgot to mention, gently caress that CLR party on Saturday. breaks fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Jun 11, 2014 |

Actually that makes me a bit glad that I didn't shell out to travel up there for it, about the most boring commercial techno lineup that could be put together there. I mean a lot better than the usual US festival lineup, but...

net work error posted:The mixes thread usually doesn't have much techno so I figured I'd share it with people who dig this stuff. About an 1.5 hrs of techno that I played a little bit ago. Would like some critique and thoughts on this from people I don't know. I listened to this the other day and I enjoyed the mix man. I was working so I was a little too distracted to give detailed criticism but I liked the tracks and the transitions seemed pretty solid. Thanks for sharing it.

Also the vip drink discount was pretty significant last year, like 3 or 4 less per drink. If you are going to drink there it will probably save you a decent chunk even without the free drink tickets. It's totally worth going, I had a blast last year.

Yeah that CLR party was a nightmare, way oversold. For the dark stuff, Interface/Scene was really good last year and tickets just went on sale today! The Works is a pretty grungy club but that just makes it more techno-appropriate I think.

Well, just listen to whatever you like. But, the main defining feature of techno is a certain kind of evolving repetition. It's also generally more focused around sound design and texture, and a relative minimum of melodic content that is often mostly a vehicle for synth work, and especially avoids harmonic progression. Lots of modern techno has texture bass that is more rumble than riff. Something like trance on the other hand is likely to be strongly melodic and is much more likely to have some kind of functional harmony. It also has strongly "synthy" sound design tropes. House also has lots of melody and harmonic progression but of different sorts, and generally a much more acoustic or organic sound design aesthetic, it also tends to have loud, riffy basslines. Those are all really broad generalizations and you can nitpick it all into a million subgenres and whatever. If you just listen to enough stuff and pay attention to the labels other people put on it, you'll eventually get a sense of it. But anyway, here are some tracks illustrating what I just wrote about. This is techno of the dark and heavy sort: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2ybewavQWU This is trance, I don't listen to it so here's a tune I remember being huge when I was a young pup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XuRqqjbatw This is house on the deep side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sz7JACkSTI breaks fucked around with this message at 08:29 on Apr 24, 2015 |

There is too much good stuff on Friday. 3 Chairs, Blank Code, Smart Bar / RA with Bicep and Black Madonna and a bunch of others, and the thing with Eddie Fowlkes etc looks solid too. Paradigm is probably the best thing on Saturday, there's nothing else too compelling. I might end up at the Carl Craig thing. I think most of my friends are doing the Modern Cathedrals night. Sunday I think I'm going to Interface but might still bail out for Kraviz's night with her, Robert Hood, and Terrence Dixon. Anthology looks like the way to go on Monday to me too.

Saturday and Monday aren't so bad for conflicts but Sunday is pretty rough I think. IMO be sure to catch at least a bit of Marshall Applewhite on Monday, slow, raw, weird, trashy stuff. Unfortunately work is loving me over and I'm probably not going to make it up to Detroit after all, super bummed. Might have a VIP ticket for sale under my cost once I get it figured out for sure.

So due to some work schedule changes I'm not able to make it to detroit this year so my Movement vip ticket is for sale. I'd like to get 200 for it which is 30 less than I paid and 60 less than they are sold for now. PM me if you or someone you know is interested. It is a will call ticket, I already checked with flavorus and they confirmed it can be transferred.
