This is wrong, but again, not sure what it has to do with anything anyway.

No UFOs, Big Fun, and Good Life would like a word!

    No UFOs is as much an electro tune.

    Big Fun and Good Life always sounded as much house as techno (I’ve had that discussion on here before - Saunderson was always the least ‘techno’/most house sounding of the Belleville Three and had more of an NY influence to his sound than the others).I also find Good Life a bit cringe, while Big Fun is touch and go.

    However you spin it, I don’t see how they can be labelled “the best techno”.

        [deleted] Absolutely, everyone stopped making it after around 2001, and quickly jumped ship to tech house and mnml when they realised they were just making [paul van dyk without breakdowns.

        Everyone stopped making disco at the start of the 80s, doesn’t mean it had “failed” either.

        Tech house and minimal also both died much quicker than prog had when people realised they were just making dull music.

        “Paul van Dyk without breakdowns” isn’t really a diss either, PvD had some excellent moments in the 90s. Long breakdowns also get in the way of dancing, while supposedly you are claiming to be an advocate of ‘dance’ music.

        [deleted] The Dutch and German cheese merchants had more integrity in this regard than the south coast numpties.

        The Dutch and German cheese merchants briefly jumped on the electroclash fad as well, before mostly abandoning any kind of dancefloor sensibility in the pursuit of pop crossovers / radio play, together with generic stadium filler. Don’t see how that has any more to do with “integrity”.

          I haven’t listened to any of them but i imagine some of those garage videos to be real treats for the ears

            seanc80 lol at you giving them the time of day. I see Dave or Alistair post a YT music clip, I S to the werve, big time.

            which is obvs a reference to this.

            [deleted] that Praga Khan track is cheese.

            Ravesignal 3 is good but sounds both the most ‘techno’ and the least ‘pop’ of the lot.

              Exactly! thanks for proving my point. They were pop, and logically followed the path they embarked on.

                No he didn’t, music strictly for EDL goons. But still preferable to centrist long kesh stronger prog house types because he was at least honest.

                  Is that why Digweed still plays kompakt, Pig and Dan, etc whilst he will never play all the Armin Van Buuren and Transa Dross he was playing in ’97? Great argument my main man!

                    well, it got played on daytime radio, along with quadrophenia.

                    The same can’t be said for West on 27th.

                        Would have been an interesting remix, I’m sure, but sadly not.

                        How were they pop? They certainly didn’t start out making pop.

                        How is Armin ‘Virgo’ pop?!?!

                        Also, how is this pop?!

                        ‘For An Angel’ was also an 8 minute long, basically instrumental club track which was a hit because it was a cracking tune, not because it was wanting to be pop music.

                          [deleted] No he didn’t, music strictly for EDL goons

                          How was the Berlin Love Parade ‘EDL goons’?!?! Lol.

                            Digweed is much worse and less relevant than he was in the late 90s.

                            Meanwhile, DJ Mag’s No. 1 techno/alternative DJ’s biggest tune was an (admittedly dross) remix of Age of Love.

                              [deleted] But still preferable to centrist long kesh stronger prog house types because he was at least honest.

                              To shoe horn an infamous NI prison from the good old days of the 70s or 80s deserves a tip of the hat. Even if it makes no sense whatsoever. In any shape or form. Well done slawsy, you weapon!

                                So we’re agreed he was crap in the 90s? Better tell wire and latte 42.

                                            Doesn’t answer the question does it? Berlin Love Parade is not a hotbed for the EDL.

                                            Weren’t you accusing me of somehow throwing tantrums? That’s basically ATR.
