Eric Prydz ?

alistair On the contrary, people with too much money and little to occupy their time, in my experience, tend to be some of the biggest pricks likely to take offence at any perceived slight.

bosstrabs Zackster loves the Klock. Are you sure you heard correctly?

bosstrabs
Fuck off Dave you wanker

alistair You know Ben is an Essex Geezer..

Dan I didn’t. Must confess I know little about him. Where?

alistair Not entirely sure…he does the Essex Rascals mixes which are right old mix up of genres.

I’ve got most of these Killabite tracks on vinyl. This is what I would class as techno…Shades of OPEN at MOS.

Dan Sounds good (and world away from the business techno and trance remakes that is giving it a bad name). To add balance, I will always give the Cirez D stuff a listen too

alistair Frankfurt & On and On are the few track I’ve acquired.

Dan Wasn’t he a resident at Shine in Belfast for a while? Think him and Homer had a night there.

I can’t see him and David Holmes on the same bill.

Dan Homer played with Dave Clarke et all pretty regularly in the mid 90s. Pretty sure that’s when Sims was resident there

LT42 Sorry mate I thought you were referring to Eric

Yeah Sims and Holmes music would’ve been very similar… Prob same sound as Temple of Sound - Banging techno.

Aftermath is a 10 minute absolute monster. Diggers played it out around the time it came out and it leveled the place. Good times had by all.

jonattonyeah Perfect if your djing and need a turnout.

jonattonyeah

Hot take

Original by PKA is better.

jonattonyeah

It’s a useful tune when you need a toilet break 4 hours into your set

Always liked this. Unashamedly tops off

Heno yeah was at that he came on at 5 and emptied the place

Me too.

Naffed off up to the Star Bar to see X-Press2 who were absolutely smashing it.

I was in the Twisted Audio Room all night which was banging.

Millsy Forgot about that. Tune

If we’re listing good Prydz-tunes Frankfurt is great. He’s not done anything of value in over 10 years though, did some great stuff in the mid 00s.

Prydz translated means clown.

Tru fax.

Ed Smallprydz it is!

Old-Dutch Good laugh that lot.

A lol for Amps!

Dan defo had many a good time at their events

Old-Dutch great warm up DJs as well.

Miss those nights. Jamm was a great club as well.

Dave Clarke has posted his thoughts on this now:

Eric Prydz vs Ben Sims

A few days ago people were dm’ing me to get involved, but I didn’t see much of a point as guardian of techno (and the only person I have ever seen convincingly rock 3 vinyl decks consistently) Ben Sims dealt the blow and from the heart swiftly and humanely (considering).

I will say this though Eric is not wrong, but only not wrong from his context. Eric will only play at exceptionally commercial events and the “techno” he will view is formulaic, lack lustre and not what myself or Ben would call Techno. The problem is not Eric Prydz, a person who (for those here that are unaware of his existence) became famous due to a video of aerobic butts shimmering to a worn out cliche of a groove, but what “Techno” is now. He refers to what people in the general public think it is as he is part of that same demographic but with a longer history. Until “Business Techno” is not seen as the true heir to the techno heritage this will always be a problem, but there is way too much money involved which turns people , way too many venture capitalists involved.

Big up to Ben as ever.

techno vs. Techno, sounds like a familiar argument.
