LT… The Techno Viking

LT42 If I get another mention today from Hugo I’m gonna get a techno horn.

He won’t tek no for an answer

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

      @zackster can you recommend a good Robert Hood set? I’m almost certain I’ve asked this of you before.

        Amps he did one in Sherwood Forest a few years back that was pretty good

          A techno-induced erection?!

            hugopal Those last two tracks you posted sound more like traditonal “Trance” tunes to my ears. When I think of Techno I tend to think mainly of percussive music, but most of this genre talk is subjective.

                mono-stereo yeah, they are very trance-y, but quite a bit of what’s around in the current techno scene leans that way. It’s pretty much melding hard techno percussion and its moody aesthetic with 90s prog trance riffs.

                There are some DJs like Courtesy and Alpha Tracks who pretty much play whole sets of this kind of style, including a number of original 90s trance tracks mixed in, and others such as Hadone and Sugar who sprinkle them in occasionally amongst modern tracks which you might generally consider a bit closer to more “traditional” loopy percussive-style techno.

                  zackster As far as someone who bridges the gap, I’d say Dax J is a guy who falls in between a Hadone and Perc.

                  I reckon I Hate Models is the DJ who most falls between Hadone and Perc.

                    Yeah great call. He was probably the guy who introduced me to most of the artists in this new hard trance world. I don’t follow him as closely as I used to; his style has become just far too insane. 150bpms is at the low end for a lot of he recent sets. His album on Perc Trax was really good tho. Kinda set the stage for what is now so common, as I think about it.

                    What’s the score with HOR? Some sort of Berlin piss dungeon? Or just the changies at the local reccy?

                      Mad_Cyril whenever they can’t get any info out of terrorists during interrogation sessions, they just stick on a I Hate Models mix and the fuckers sing like canaries. Everyone has their uses.

                          “HÖR sits on the ground floor of an apartment block, taking over what used to be the storage room of a long-vacant bar, which still sits abandoned next door”

                          It’s only about a 20 minute walk away from me, on Hasenheide in Kreuzberg, but I keep forgetting to have a gander.

                              Looks like one of Zack’s slum rentals

                                zackster why buy tiles when a black sharpie on plasterboard gives the same effect?

                                    Oh you don’t like that it rains in your living room every time the family in #2 takes a shower?? Maybe you should try PAYING YOUR RENT ON TIME!

                                      The intro to this lockdown mix vid he made is magnificent though - truly; one of the best executed shows of lockdown.

                                      The first few minutes of this at least is worthy of anyone on here’s time:

                                      (the full mix isn’t my fav of his though)

                                            Tbf I could use Dazzler over at one of our single family homes rn. Need a new kitchen, bath, and a tree cut down and hauled.

                                              Zack & Hugo. This might be up your strasse.

                                                    All I will say is that this is Hugo’s avatar on Whatsapp

                                                      Do My Little Ponies even have genders?!

                                                      Definitely not these days. It would only offend people

                                                      Of course they have genders! How the hell else would they reproduce? Talk sense lads.

                                                        Have given both CDs of JVM’s Bedrock release a listen practically back to back for the first time in never and CD2 is def the better of both discs, though the offbeat mixes did initially grate. The best of the Bedrock CD mixes for sure. Quality stuff.
