  • A History of Trance Music in Ten Tracks

Hank_Solo it’s a running joke on this board - not entirely sure how or why it started though, perhaps it was said by someone because I love it.

    Still think those early BBE tracks sound good (Flash and Seven days)

    Dan not even when you were tearing it up to Oakie at Colchester Poly?

        Unbroken1 I meant revisionist in saying we didn’t like it at the time. Holds some great memories despite me having had no interest in playing it in recent years

          When you’re 54 years old everything was better 20 years ago. I wouldn’t exactly call 2001 “old school techno” but I’ll defer to Mauro superfan Zackster for that one.

              Old School Techno 140bpm

              Modern Day Techno 130bpm

                  Go back another 10 years & techno was probably way below 130. When I occasionally have mix of my early techno I’m surprised at how slow it is in bpm’s

                  80’s techno for sure was below 130 bpm.

                    +8 and it still sounds slow

                    That’s literally bullshit.

                    The problem is most of you on here listen to what the likes of Digweed, Tale of Us, Adam Beyer etc. are peddling while calling it “techno” while really it’s middling tech-house.

                    Meanwhile there are loooads of big DJs and producers out there still pushing 140bpm+; in fact high bpm techno from 140 even up to 155bpm has had something of a mini-renaissance in the last few years.
