[The Kid]

I agree!
and you just don't get that same sweet moment trying to play vocal house on 3 decks.

well... i dunno about three vocal house tracks (what's the point?!) but carter can mix three decks like nobody's business.

 

[isoprax]

layered music is usually to hide the fact it fucking sucks and bores people to tears!

abstract.

i love techno because it is essentially abstract.

i dig abstract forms of art because they're generally the most open to interpretation... they allow you to fill in the blanks with personal experience, throught, reflection... whatever.

pop music can be nice... but sometimes i don't want to be bashed over the head with an obvious hook, or lyrics etc... sometimes i want blanks i can fill in... but a structure that allows to me focus on something... just enough to let me reach a clear state in a sense.

I loved it from the beginning because of the way I saw people mixing it. So I guess you could say I love techno because of the opportunities it gives you for creativity. I also appreciate the minimalism, which gives you freedom to create music through layers of sound. This is also why I think Jeff Milligan is the best techno DJ I have ever seen/heard.

Also, the fact that a lot of people have a hard time pinning down a particular sound as being the quintessence of techno is just another reason for me to love the flexibility it brings you.

Green socks.

Drama.

 

[miller]

Drama.

Hell yeah. Not sure what I'd do without the warmth and joy of the Techno Room

Note the possible contradiction that can happen if one becomes evangelical about being abstract or open to interpretation.. Paradoxically, their closed..

ya, some mystery is nice.. manufactured pop often loses this by the nature of how and why it's made.. $.. spirit doesn't compute well in that equation

I love techno when the mixing is almost constant and the tracks are built RAW to jack your body. If I want to space out; progressive elements.. If I want to feel like a lesbian; electro sounds.. If I want to save the world; trancey vibes.. and like the wise man said If we want to get present and maybe connect with other people; house. Music can work with the context of your life. If that context is constant, the same musical structure will feel good. If your state tends to change, so does the structure of what you listen to. Point is, we need all kinds of people and music to make the world go round, so don't be a hater.. let a playa play!

When techno is good it has this amazing feeling of constantly moving forward. Almost like it isn't living in the moment but more like preparing for a moment to come.

House can do this to, but house I feel lives more in the immediate moment which is great too.

I guess that really still speaks to what other people are saying in this thread ie "It sounds like the future".

Awsome analogy man! I personaly thought this was a difficult question to answer, but your thoughts make so much sense about techno!
