So I kinda noticed that there are a lot of techno artist playing this year. Detriot is in fashion, and all the school is cool when it comes to claiming your set is real.
Either way I think this hails goodness for the feet on the floor. Our little tangent into hardhouse was worthy, courageous but mildly unsustainable. In my opinion hard house is about as essential as using petrol to start a fire. Loads of fun but there are safer ways to do it.
No disrespect though, cause even petrol heads deserve a dancefloor and darn it if they didn't go and build one for themselves.
But speaking of fires, I'm in mourning for the WBC sound system. Destroyed by a fire just this weekend, AK will dearly be missing not just a great club space but that proper phat sound .. now tell me that's not rare . Any way here is for the resurrection!!
So yea Techno is coming back aye '
This is the point where all the heads scoff at me.. and shuffle their feet. . like what do you mean it never went anywhere' and all that.
Well I'm not naming names, but there are certainly a few more visits from the techno guild this year than last year. Maybe I've got it all wrong and somebody just changed Tech House into Techno. It wouldn't be the first time a genre came back to life by renaming itself.
What is this all about though? This new found interest into this fabled Techno sound. Promoters follow their interests but they don't burn money for fun.
I think it means that the floor is still listening. The massive is just responding to where the energy is. A dancefloor is all about communication, so if you have something good to play then people will listen.
Don't forget we are not talking about Top 40 here. This stuff isn't drummed into you through repetitive commercial play lists. You have to be interested in dance music, you have to go and experience it.
Every out put source for dance music in NZ had to be beaten into existence. No one rung up and said we want you to come and play that techno stuff in out pub. We heard all the kids love it.
Any way the point is that the floor is always on the move, seeking you sounds and finding fresh moves. The answer is in the music speaking to the soles of your feet.
