The only Regal worth talking about is the Ikea Billy Regal. It's good for books, records, sex toys etc.

haha lil mulero
or Yung Cleric x Dax Khalifa
TV comercials for dyson vacuum cleaners with fm bleeps and some serious 909hat ts ts ts
yeah thats the future right there, we should all open our minds hop on that train!
nah seriously what a pile of crap.
i think when the big Bumload trend is over, techno will be all underground again..
no more tomorrowlands and fancy booking agency portfolios
but i think there is a fair ammount of people interested in proper techno as well, its just that it gained a bit of mainstream popularity when people like regal are trying to become the next radiostars. what a jerk..
i even like one ep from him: https://www.discogs.com/de/Regal-Acid-I ... er/1135498

How underground we talking though? Subterranean or a bit below the earths mantle? Tomorrowland has been doing techno way before the Bumload trend and was top notch last year for the technosover9000 wrote:nah seriously what a pile of crap.

I'm often quite amazed by how bothered people on here seem to be about putting down 'generic music', when I think a lot of music that people here seem to like is actually also really generic.
Genre's are fine... there's not much electronic club music that isn't generic. They just fall in different genre's ( or different microcosms of genre's).

Plenty of artists out there not riding the same sounding train as the herd.
Re: how do you think techno will sound in the coming years?
You need genres to make sense of it all. Most of the self-decribed 'genre-less' stuff are horribly conservative or just a mess.
Re: how do you think techno will sound in the coming years?
Sometimes I'm really tempted to take part in conversations like this, but then I'm like fuck that, I'd rather spend my time in making music.
Re: how do you think techno will sound in the coming years?
Well pop techno is probably gonna enter verse-chorus-verse land. Proper techno, I have a feeling there's gonna be some kind of technologicaly induced breakthrough. The way it should be every some years. I hope some funk will crawl back into it. The dark techno fad is definately annoying.

Techno needs to get funk into it, there's no soul in a lot of it, you can still be underground and pioneering, but don't forget the funk.
Some of the best techno I have ever heard were in sets and live PA's by the Chemical Brothers in the 90's when they were underground and then crossing over, what their stuff had was drive, with funk and soul, they made some absolute bangers that the masses lapped up as well as the cool underground kids.

Re: how do you think techno will sound in the coming years?
There is a time and a place for everything.
Techno doesn't need funk, or soul, or whatever.
It could do with being less trend set, and more diverse in sound.
Unfortunately as it has become a popularity contest, a battle of PR companies, it's just a gaggle of folks trying to blow in whatever direction is the popularist one.
Wishing for more funk might bite you on your ass, as if it's the next thing the pweebs latch on to, then that is all you will get and you will be dying for something with more edge or whatever.
The real thing here, is just get away from the mainstream, there are plenty of artists out there doing all sorts of interesting techno, they just aren't in the PR Resident Badadvisor hype train.

Re: how do you think techno will sound in the coming years?
I was at Jerkhain last Saturday. I never saw Answer Code Request and his music isn't my cup of tea either. But it happened that this was the record release party for his new album and he played live for an hour.
I have to admit that he got some serious live skills and music wise it was the freshest techno/broken beat/industrial kind of thing I heard in a while. It was really good.
Though I still don't like his records, I wouldn't hesitate to see him live again (which is rare for techno live acts I've seen. And I've seen quite a few.)
Compared to that, Blawan afterwards was mediocre, generic and boring as fuck.

Re: how do you think techno will sound in the coming years?
i always liked answer code request, apart from the stupid name.
its a bit trancy at times, but sound design and atmosphere are always great.
and hes trying to explore different rhythms etc
blawan on the other hand got a bit boring with his last release, which is fine, but in the past i always thought of blawan as a super special artist.

Well, that ACR live set from Saturday was far from being trancy.

Best artist I've heard in the last year by a mile is I Hate Models, his sets are brilliance.

When the underground goes overground, you build a new underground, repeat to fade, that's the cycle.Lost to the Void wrote:There is a time and a place for everything.

I've lost count of the different genre's I've been into over the years, this is the longest spell I've been into techno since the 90's, was into the synthwave stuff when it was underground in france 2008/9, got back into UK garage a couple of years ago when that had a resurgence, my tastes constantly move, always in search of something fresh and new because I get bored quickly.
Underground music that moves into the mainstream is a natural cycle, like I say you just build a new one with a different flavour, Techno needs to get some funk back into it, bit more melody, but for me still with a harder, driving edge to it.
A modern incarnation of this type of stuff would be a good start, get energy and fun back into techno...

Re: how do you think techno will sound in the coming years?
Or just find the stuff that is already there doing just that.
Techno needs.... is a fail statement. It's already there.

Re: how do you think techno will sound in the coming years?
yeah iam a bit disapointed of i hate models too.
saw him just once though, but that wasent completely awesome. decent for sure.
he has great tracks no doubt and is certainly one of the more interesting artists.

Re: how do you think techno will sound in the coming years?
Thought the first Ihatemodels EP on arts was pretty nice. But everything else ive heard from him i think is shite.
This just sounds like the soundtrack from a Tekken game or something
