EQD. alias of shed, dark, rumbling, trippsy percussion techniques leave you feeling like the wholle tune is ready to unravel itsself and fall apart at any moment.

Grit. Massive, deep, sounds like waves of rhythmic, audio tarmac washing over your body

2011 is shaping up to be a serious year for dancing.

Though I love electronic music, a lot of techno I am wary of (silly people high on drugs, dressed like idiots, prancing around).

 

Imagine my joy at having the pleasure of discovering this...

 

 

I have been listening to Warp stuff for over a decade but all this Detroit stuff hasn't entered my world at all. This Drexicya is mad! I must sound like a right amateur!

I appreciate this thread as techno is my first and forever love. The trouble I've had lately is that a lot of techno has lost its teeth--tempos have slowed, fewer sonic risks are taken and everything has a restraint that I would like to see lifted. The tracks you posted are all good but they didn't grab my nuts like I'm used to.

 

It's a pornography issue. I got used to going hard, fast, complicated and abrasive with what has been called "The Birmingham Sound" or "Schranz" e.g. Surgeon, Dave Clarke, early Aphex, Ben Sims, Freaky Chakra, Ben Neill, Johannes Heil, Underworld, Tobias Schmidt, Adam Beyer, Female, Regis, BMB, Neil Landstrumm, Chris Liebing, Speedy J, Paul Mac, Ken Ishii, Fumiya Tanaka etc. so the new style is like going back to scrambled Cinemax and HBO softcore. Even Sandwell District, made up of previously ball-busting guys like Regis, Female, Portion Reform, etc. have taken this new, slower and deeper approach.

 

I think I'm probably going to have to buy some select releases and explore the neu sound more throughly than just YouTubes and Bleep samples. I've recently tried to approach making the techno I would want to hear but it's not going as well as I had planned lol. I wrote a track in the summer of 2002 but it's a pretty obvious ape of "Born Slippy" and Ben Sims so I should try harder :smile:

yeah man, the birmingham sound (cant actually say ive ever heard it called that) is cool, but i massively prefer my techno to have a bit of space to breath. i find the best dance you can have is dark, heavy, 126 bpm stuff, it really lets the muid-beat hi hat rattle your cage when it drops in.

 

having said that i recently experienced dave clarke for the first time in the subclub and that literally knocked me sideways, the intensity was phenomonal.

i still think mike dehnert is one of the most fantastic producers ive ever heard. every tune is utter perfection. the mixture between the dark, rumbling berlin sounding beat and the sudden entry of the optimistic melancholy tune before the first kick in is one of the most beautiful things ive heard in techno.

 

in ''pompage'' that is

dammit someone beat me to it. yes this is fucking brilliant love this...I'd never heard of the label before now...great shit...

 

 

I'll add two then: a classic from 1995 Kenlou - The Bounce
