Techno is the big boy genre. You wouldn't understand it you underage queer.

Techno is unlistenable.

>>73796796
Was I right about my statement or was I right?

Damn, guess I don't like that.

Is she OK with those kids rubbing up her butt like that?

>>73796750
why? Don't have much of a social life?

>>73796655
I have been at a lot of Techno events but the crowd has always been substantially different from the faggots you see in Boiler Room sets.

But I am from Germany, and our Techno culture is quite different around here.

>>73796954
What do you think of Berghain?

>>73796954
It's just a bunch of chicks and dudes that are into this stuff, how can it be different?

>>73796501
Intellectuals have shit taste. Ask Scaruffi

>>73796954
That vid was filmed in Berlin btw

>>73797006
Scaruffi is a nerd not an intellectual.

>he doesn't listen to fast paced techno to increase productivity

also works with metal

>>73796938
boiler room crowds are the scum of humanity

>>73797040
something about the kick drum just wants me to move around and do stuff. it's nearly primal.

That's not listening; the music is just there.

Plenty of people take McKenna seriously.
You personally disliking him doesn't mean he wasn't influential, Quentin. If nothing else he came up with a method for reliably growing psilocybin mushrooms, which hadn't been done.
And he was involved in the goa scene.
Those are your benchmarks, right?

>>73796979
Never been there, but from what I heard it's a pretty good club which is still devoted to its principles and hasn't given in to commercialism - which is always good. Only the huge crowds of foreigners somehow ruin it.

>>73796993
Social Dynamics. There is a lot of Techno history in Germany. It sounds silly, but Germans tend to take their Techno relatively serious. Not everyone and not to ridiculous amounts, but it is indeed noticeable.

>>73797013
Yes, I didn't actually watch it. It probably has a lot do to with the facts that they're being filmed and eventually watched by millions of people. It needs a certain kind of personality to do that. I personally wouldn't do it.
Plus, everyone looks ridiculous when being filmed dancing for an hour or more - especially when you are dancing to Techno, which has nothing to do with trying to look anything close to good. You just move how your body dictates you to move.

>>73797159
i'm so glad i'm not like you people

>>73797111
you're a jaded motherfucker

>>73797158
you too

Jesus Christ go outside. Its Friday. Go to a club and drink.

>>73797144
You mean music or the crowd?

>>73797178
You in Germany, into techno parties, but never been in Berghain? What's the deal?

>>73797180
i genuinely pity people whose highlight of the week is spending all of their money at a club getting intoxicated with strangers to shitty music

Scooter is best German techno

>>73797221
How many katanas do you own

>>73797180
that sounds boring as fuck, and you sound boring as fuck

>>73797221
lmao you're a fucking nerd.

>>73797215
I don't travel to Berlin often and I don't really like standing in line for hours when all I want to do is listen to some damn good Techno. And you can have good Techno at almost every second corner in Berlin.

>>73797221
I feel the same for this at rock gigs, rap shows and the proms, fucking degenerates drinking alcohol and socialising

>>73797221
How does it make you feel that if you were born in any other time before the past 80 or so years you wouldn't even be able to listen to music by yourself. You would have to go listen to it live with other people who would likely be intoxicated.

>>73797232
>>73797245


there are greater pleasures in life than what you waste your time on.

>>73797221
how long have you been sitting in your computer chair NERD

>>73797221
the only bad part of that is shitty music

>>73796938
>why?
most of the people there don't act like thy even enjoy the music. their dancing isn't even matched up to the music for the most part. and a lot of the djs pass off bland minimalist beats as something more. but there are some good boiler room shows.
>Don't have much of a social life?
not really

>>73797352
imo this is your problem, you worry too much about the other people there. You're supposed to go to a place like that and just cut loose. You don't even have to interact with other people if you don't want to.

>a lot of the djs pass off bland minimalist beats as something more.
i said i don't like the music. i think it's really boring dance music. but to each their own. but also, my original statement was that i hate the videos. which is the boring music plus images of people i generally dislike.
>>73797413
why are you being such a faggot?

>>73797481
So an intellectual is strictly someone who is widely known as an intellectual?

>>73797413
i'm actually finishing repairing my bike tonight so I can go on a long, therapeutic ride tomorow, then I'm going to practice guitar for two hours, finish mixing some things I've been putting off, and then have a paid gig tomorrow night.

Have fun getting wasted.

>>73797503

Thank you! I will. :3

You have fun with your music!

Faggotry was the genesis of this thread, bud.

>>73797503

This post has literally no weight because you're posting on fucking 4chan. You literally could not waste time to a higher degree.

op will never understand techno, never ever ever

>>73797502

>>73797221
You must be fun at parties

>>73797503

>>73797543
I think OP understands it too well.

Do ppl just spend all night DANCING? I don't think I get it. Is it that addictive?

>>73797481
False, he's known for his shitty reviews in /mu/. I had heard of him before when I started college.

>>73797596
No it's not. I'm writing a Phd thesis on how stupid techno is.

>>73797618
Those events last few hours. Pppl spend all night in techno clubs.

Some techno is good music

Let's just say he's Goa trance of intellectuals.

>>73797898
juan definitely is

>>73797898
What are their IQs?
What do they do outside the studio?

You have no idea do you to question them.

Those are just 2 projects.

I've played live countless times, collaborated with other local artists and recently performed on college radio.

I'm not doing this to validate myself. I don't mind shameless self promotion. You're just a fucking idiot. And a pussy.

>>73797247
This is why I didn't go to berghain when I visited Berlin, too much choice to be wasting hours queueing .

I personally lean towards the housey side of techno so the likes of Laurent Garner, John Digweed and Loco Dice are up my avenue. Visited Watergate only to be turned away, God knows why but I knew Berlin could be like this.

Went to Tresor instead and was not disappointed.

My local club (still fave):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpcxDsuJhLo

Techno is for people in gay bars and warehouse raves on molly and meth. It's not supposed to be intelligent. But that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable.

>>73797904
Lmao I hate myself. I just enjoy playing the banjo and performing for people.
OP started the thread looking down his nose at everyone who likes techno.
I guarantee any of the people you quoted are infinitely more tolerable that the sentient pair of jorts that is the OP.

>>73797969
I was expecting indietronica, but you somehow managed to disappoint me more and post something even worse

Electronic music is for faggots and women.

>>73796501
Techno for disco and dancing is an obsolete genere of electronic music that only ignorants without any culture in music can follow. The original meaning of "techno" was revolutionary and anti-capitalistic, some kind of idealogical battle against the system, noone of the commercial and bland techno you hear in disco respect any of the original purposes. For not talking about the artistic value of it, it's very sad, techno can reach incredible level of expression and experimentation, all these lazy modern producers kill the potential of this kind of music and reduce it to superficial and pathetic entertainment.

https://youtu.be/JSpS3TFS3P0?t=26m49s

Just listen to this and you'll experience something different that can make you understand the possibilities of this kind of music.

>>73800020
when you say techno you seem to mean electronic music as a whole. autechre are closer to electro or hip-hop than techno.

>>73800153
Autechre are close almost to everything possible you can hear in electronic music, if you don't recognize the techno matrix of them it's really a shame!

ok just go lol

Does anyone know how I can get better at making industrial/techno/rhythmic noise/ebm stuff like orphx, adam x, varg, regis, british murder boys, headless horseman, etc..? Also do you have to be a DJ to know how to play techno? I need halp..

>>73800208
that track is post-autechre. autechre ended with untilted. exai is interesting in its own way, but it's no longer on the same level.

better example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bSb-No790w

but they only made very few 4/4 tracks like this

>>73800342
fuck i meant elseq, not exai

>>73800208
>>73800342
God, only Autechre can make 4/4 sound interesting, for the rest is so boring. How can people find appealing a music where literally nothing happens, on the rhythmic, structure and melodic sides, for the entire length of it?
