My girlfriend likes to tell people that I (in sarcastic voice) Drop hot techno beats.
In reality, very little of the music I deal with is formal "techno". I couldn't tell her that because she thinks it's dumb on some levels. I'm inclined to agree with her. Who really cares? As long as it's relevant, fun and engaging why sweat taxonomy?
I do have to say that the verbal pigeonholing of dance music subsubgenres becomes a valuable tool when I need to find a certain needle sound in the internet haystack of available music. Thats why I have to insist that this is not techno, but dubstep. It would be possible to further describe the following mix, but it would just be convoluted and extraneous. Simply listen for those LFO wobbles and hammerfall percussion lines and you'll know what's what. seriously. And get a SOUNDCLOUD account. It's radstical.

you should just tell folks you make porno techno, or "music to make babies too." You could just tell them that you don't know what the genre is called, and then add that they would need to ask the 8 year olds in your beat sweat shop.
ReplyDeleteAny longer, I see the word techno as a sound palette more than a genre, especially to the uneducated masses. Tons of "bands" any more is using some sort of phat synth or wobble to cover up a lack of performance ability. But, just cause you use a TB-303 do you have to be jungle.
I guess most music I make falls under IDM, but they say you can't fuck to IDM, and that is the whole reason I make beats, for reverse aural voyeurism.
