Cankles-McJeggings fuck you! If I am soooo out of the loop then what am I doing with his lap top, usb sticks, relaxed fit trousers, and suitcase?!

      I know for a fact it can’t have been you Zackster. It was in Madrid and for you to get to Madrid you would have needed a passport 😆👍

        a month later

        This set powered me to a 1.49 at the GNR today. Fuck the haterz. 😃

          I gave this a whirl, and if I was to assign it a genre I’d probably pick something like ‘easy listening’, which I mean in a damning sense.

          The only time my ears perked up was when I heard the track at 32 minutes - because I recognised it has nicked its lead line from the much more exciting track below:

            Lol, to be expected coming from someone who thinks listening to music you’d mostly associate with Chechen rebels is something to be proud of.

                What music is that then? I’m at a loss to imagine how techno and Chechen rebels are associated in any form whatsoever.

                Is it to do with some other odd rhyming slang term?

                  Jesus, Hugo, you’re some wooden bastard

                  Absolutely banging stuff! Loved every minute

                  hugopal Prehaps he didn’t play your preferred version becuase it’s shit? Do you even like what was known as “prog”? I’ve noticed you seem to have a very narrow view of what music can and can’t be described as “banging/techno” based on how fast it’s played.

                      mono-stereo you seem to have a very narrow view of what music can and can’t be described as “banging/techno” based on how fast it’s played.

                      Not only its tempo but also how “banging”/hard it is, its general mood, rhythmic structure, etc. etc.

                      I don’t know why you’re talking as if it’s some obscure notion that different genres of music are categorised in different ways - I mean, it’s as if you’d also want to somehow argue with the notion that say ‘ambient’ music is generally of a fairly slow tempo and either beatless or with soft/subtle beats.

                      Or some dumb statement like "you seem to have a very narrow view of what music can and can’t be described as “breakbeat” based on whether it has broken beats".

                      Would you describe Derrick Carter as “techno”? No. Would you describe Jeff Mills as “house”? No.

                      Different genres have different characteristics.

                          Yup, I’m not arguing otherwise, it’s not necessary about genres themselves. My point was that you seem to be anally retentive about other peoples descriptions of those characteristics within a given genre, when in fact it’s all subjective.

                          One man’s heads down tops off ram banger is another man’s honky-tonk soft cock house.
