hugopal I also don’t think Dax J “falls in between” Hadone and Perc

Ah see I actually learned of Hadone because Dax J played one of his tunes in a mix which I loved and had to track down.

zackster

This one. Fantastic fucking tune!

zackster listening to this as you posted it, another good record.

zackster I hadn’t clocked that was released on Monnom Black. It must be a more recent development as I can barely recall anything like that from the many sets I’ve heard of him. His 2018 Essential Mix was far from that style. I don’t recall his lockdown sets touching upon it either. His big productions have all been very rhythmic-focused as well, with little in the way of melody.

zackster but see, to me that’s basically too fast to really dance to, and when you look at the crowd they’re hardly dancing to it either. There’s no time to do anything other than bop and sway a bit. The music seems be verging on losing the crowd rather than engaging them.

It might sound slightly bananas and I like listening to it for a bit, but it ultimately seems a bit hollow and redundant.

Dubman

I think the main problem is the speed of it. Most of the Techno in the early 90’s never went above 130 BPM or possibly less. So all the new stuff you’ve posted is so much faster it just sounds like a racket.

I can understand that view a bit when it nears 150, but as I like to remind this board peak-time late 90s Sasha was 140bpm.

Also, Jeff Mills was often easily over 140bpm in the early 90s.

hugopal who is that guy Hadone is in a group with? I forget what they call themselves. They had a set out from a COVID rave that I remember absolutely loving.

Surely you mean Viper Diva?

But that’s Hadone with the aforementioned Shlomo.

Can’t recall any other groups Hadone is in.

Along_the_Wire

hugopal I’ll tell you something for free Hugo, that tune is an utter load of fucking tripe.

zackster

Thats the one. Forgot Shlomo was the other one. Thought it was Kobosil for some reason.

Dubman

That’s still nearly 10 years on. I bet Sasha was playing tunes in the low 120 bpms in the early 90’s. That’s just how it was back then. I don’t recall ever seeing Jeff mills DJ over here either. I do remember seeing Frankie bones & Lenny see but that was on the back of their Looney tunes ep’s.

zackster

Here is one to really make @Dan feel his age. Got these guys off of a Shlomo set.

Amps

zackster Liking the first half of this, takes me right back to Voodoo or the like. Noice!

zackster

Along_the_Wire its a bop mate. Have it packed to a certain gig at the end of next month!

Getting this place to actually participate in a techno discussion has been like getting a puppy to listen to commands. I had to wear you all down with 8 days of your favorite thing, before you were calm enough to actually receive information.

Psh, if only.

bosstrabs

zackster Board pillock and general fashion victim Zackster continues to use (and overuse) every ridiculous saying that comes into common usage among the pillockocracy.

Latest being ‘a bop’.

zackster

All Sasha’s early 90s sets, that I have heard are way closer to 140 than 120.
