- minimal/tech-house, to my mind. Anything with a 'thwip' noise in has got to be classed as minimal :). Thwip - doik !! Ck!mikotondria3
- I like this though, don't get me wrong. Lovely pace and soundstage. Just edgy enough, just enough room, too.mikotondria3
- Minimal and techno are synonymous in my mind. Everything is minimal these daysukit2
- I thought it was fine for about 3 months in 2003. Then it ran out of steam. Max it up. Fullness !! Loudness, dynamics ! Fury !!!mikotondria3
- 2003? this shit has been going on since early 90sernexbcn
- .Yeh, whatev's.

- Take it from me, an old school DJ, it's impossible to beat match records if you're not using headphones.canoe
- Wedding DJs also don't use headphones... you mixelplix motherfuckerscanoe

And one final pearler tiday from Noom Records... Nuclear Hyde - Spectral
- This is good although some would say it's not proper techno :) Hard trance maybe?yuekit
- This guy made a couple mixes of tracks from that label: https://www.youtube.…yuekit
- Hard trance is proper techno ;)sab
- Hey nice find yuekit. Will give it a listen.
=)sab - Yeah lots of good mixes on that channel. Bonzai Records is another label with similar sound: https://www.youtube.…yuekit

Grimes is everywhere, why the surprise ? It is all numbers now, even though it seems she cannot divide bpm’s in half (to think I almost watched her in a “Living with Technology” webcast with Hawtin and Beaumont-Thomas during a slow moment in the Pandemic), but numbers it is, stats over ability.
DJ’ing has been so devalued by the mainstream venture capitalist takeover and narcissism that it feels what is called “Techno” by most is now a shit show of “Look at me” as opposed to listen and escape from the mundane backdrop of society and be in a community. - Dave Clarke- lol...is there video of this somewhere? People are saying it got taken down.yuekit

- why the downvotes?kingsteven
- Dang, Hawtin, that’s a blast from the past. Did a bunch of stuff for plus 8 records, and Richie in the 90sGnash
- Gnash, What kind of stuff?
Downvotes are from the trolls on QBN kingstevencanoe - Did you live in Windsor?canoe
- yuekit-ugh, that would be dreadful to read in entirety - she didn't even do her own tracklist - for fucking coachella? wowcanoe
- I know the feature of Rekordbox they're talking about... you can mix things at the same speed or for instance match a 90 bpm track with a 180 bpm one.yuekit
- And changing this literally just involves clicking a button to toggle between these things, I guess that was the part she couldn't figure out.yuekit
- @canoe. Toronto. Worked on a few releases and a bunch of singles and compilationsGnash
- He had a distro deal with the label I was working forGnash
- Gnash which releases, singles and compilations specifically? We've probably heard of it :)yuekit
- intellinet?canoe
- I was there in Detroit for the birth of Plus8canoe
- I’d have to dig through the archives. I cranked out a lot or crap in the 90s. Hopefully I have print samples - Otherwise it’s on a jazz, zip or syquest drvGnash

- Def not proper techno BUT when you slow down jumpstyle and apply too much reverb over a pop song sample you get something techno-ish?prophetone
- Original song: https://www.youtube.…prophetone
- I mean this totally sounds like a chill Thunderdome, Rotterdam Records joint tbhprophetone
- don't take the brown acidcanoe

- An amazing Detroit techno track that I never heard before somehowyuekit
- Found it in this mix by Laurent Garnier
https://www.youtube.…yuekit - Very fun track, the entire catalog is worth owning in-my-detroit-opinio... in this track you can hear the evolution of the Jaguar to come years latercanoe
- you may have slept on this song because it's not nearly as underground or creative as the rest of his musiccanoe
- 'their music'canoe
- Is the Martian another Mike Banks alias, or it's multiple people?yuekit
- I would actually consider this creative, even though I'm not biggest fan of house or tech house type sounds. More about the composition and how it shiftsyuekit
- back and forth between almost live sounding vs sampled/electronic.yuekit
- I'm pretty sure everything on Red Planet is UR/Submerge collaborative like you said, this track sounds like a Gerald Donald influence... Los Hermanoscanoe
