Re: MOOG Drummer From Another Mother...

DFAM is a fucking techno machine. Best money I ever spent. Just sitting and noodling for 10 minutes provides me with oodles of insane tweaked out techno bonks and swizzles.

Re: Techno as subversive political action

There is actually quite an uprising of queer/trans/female/POC collectives and artists making things happen right now. There's a LOT going on within techno (and house) that's absolutely countercultural. It's quite refreshing and still quite underground.

Re: Ear Protection (gig situation)

I wear the custom molds whenever I play. They fit flat in my ear, so they aren't disturbed by the headphones.

I can't tell you how absolutely wonderful it is to sleep afterward with no ringing. Best investment I ever made.

Re: DVS1 Question time

But what about the people just starting out? How do they get to the place where they can be really creative if its all just there for them? I started on cubase and that encouraged me i think to explore loads of different ways to get a nice sound. Same way a piano player starts out playing a piano. ...

Re: Ghost Writers

I've had a drink, so I'm not being sexist - just direct.. but I'd finger (point towards) some of the opposite of males, who are being touted by higher profile male artists. "I'm not being sexist, but I'm basically going for the easy cheap shot by saying women can't produce. I'm basing that opinion ...

Re: Ghost Writers

The thing that people need to remember about the whole "name and shame" thing: unless you've got receipts from one person to another, any accusations would be libelous. There's a reason why people don't name and shame. Hearsay is hearsay, but is just as likely to be bullshit. Anyone who publicly say...

Re: Ghost Writers

What about the people that do the Ghost Writing? Does everyone think "Fair play to them for getting the €$£'zz" or, are they tarred by the same "You're a cunt" brush? A lie is a lie, and both sides are guilty of it. If we found out that Picasso or Van Gogh didn't actually paint, but hired someone t...

Re: Ghost Writers

Don't even get me started. So many people work so hard to learn their craft, only to be shoved to the side in favor of some asshat with money to blow and an ego that needs fed.

Re: Has 'Darkness' diluted the pace of techno?

For me, it's a plodding beat with no groove or shuffle, with lots of droney noises that basically sounds like 23094832094823094 other tunes with plodding beats with no groove or shuffle and lots of droney sounds. It's hard to describe, but I know it when I hear it. P.S. When I first typed this, I ty...

Re: Why are female record producers so rare?

Yes exactly mjudge Everyone is welcome. There is also a very low number of the gay community in techno, except maybe at the very commercial end, and certain specific (gay oriented) clubs. So I could also add to the thread question, why are there not more gay techno producers? In the uk for instance...

Re: Why are female record producers so rare?

@Void: No one ever said sexism is the ONLY reason. But it is one reason. And I would say that its nasty little presence is a factor in more deeply embedded cultural ways than in the overt and obvious ones.

Re: Has 'Darkness' diluted the pace of techno?

I'm totally okay with the slowdown because it gives it a little bit of space. And I'm totally okay with dark and edgy if done well. What I'm not okay with is losing the funk and the jack. I got booty and I needs to move it. Agree totally, for me its all about funk and groove. My own stuff rarely go...

Re: Discarding projects

One of my first record releases contained a song that I had written months earlier but got stuck on. I came back to it, stripped it completely down and rewrote it from the ground up. The synth and some of the background noises stayed, but everything else changed. Sometimes those old ideas can be rea...

Re: Why are female record producers so rare?

Back on that whole "this is innate and men like some things and women like others" thing. I think that's quite a CONVENIENT explanation that caters to a simplistic and ham-handed biological determinism while also absolving people from reflecting on their actions and the actions of others in (intenti...
