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.
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 I’ll tell you something for free Hugo, that tune is an utter load of fucking tripe.
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.
Along_the_Wire its a bop mate. Have it packed to a certain gig at the end of next month!

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.
All Sasha’s early 90s sets, that I have heard are way closer to 140 than 120.
hugopal which partly opened the doors to the euro/scandi stuff.
What is this euro/scandi stuff you speak of??
jonattonyeah About time Ed had his own logo
Fucking lol, outstanding!
mono-stereo What is this euro/scandi stuff you speak of??
See the Courtesy set I posted above for an example (Courtesy is Danish) - it’s high bpm, very trance-influenced contemporary techno (with the occasional smidgeon of euro-pop influences as well), that initially appeared to come out of Copenhagen from late 2017. Central early Danish artists included Schacke, Sugar, Funeral Future, Repro, DJ Ibon, Niki Istrefi, and Kasper Marott, releasing on Euromantic (Funeral Future’s label) and Kulor (Courtesy’s label).
The sound spread pretty quickly in techno and quite a few other techno artists from the continent emerged with aligned-sounding productions, including Hadone (from Belgium, some tracks posted above), Blame The Mono (France), Oprofessionell (Norway), and Alpha Tracks (Austria).
A couple of track examples if you can’t be bothered to skim Courtesy’s mix:
A big early track from some of the Danish producers which encapsulates the sound:
Perhaps my fav track from the scene:
Again, also check the later released Hadone / Viper Diva tracks above and the relationship and similarities will seem apparent. It’s also not a surprise that the artists I’ve mentioned above often play each other’s tracks (not only the Danish ones, so even though initially it was mostly a Danish thing, it’s now very much a Euro-wide thing).
The next Clint Eastwood movie is going to be about @Along_the_Wire going to Berghain to rescue a copy of Leftism from a Serbian nonbinary nu rave Dj who has just put out a new hard style remix of Harder Better Faster Stronger. The films title?

This thread has become a Hugo/Zack docking fest. The only question is who has the foreskin.
I’ll assume this was the plan all along, Zack. Well done if so. 4D chess.
Zackster simply still doesn’t get it. We create the sayings in this community, then others copy us.
The we is now Hugo and Zach, David. You are on the outside looking in.
A recent favorite Hadone set where he plays mostly
techno, as opposed to the nu hard trance sound.
If I get another mention today from Hugo I’m gonna get a techno horn.
