it just seem silly to post '94 tunes as there's just an endless supply. I think 50% of my record collection is from '94, and not only techno

didn't know this one; that Irdial dude was wild. *So off to discogs I go*.. Ehh, ok maybe not.

In fact this record meant to much to me that I resented all other forms of techno that came before and after for several years; I think it was akin to a semi-religious experience or becoming a monk or whatever. I vividly remember reading that paragraph years later in Energy Flash where this...

94 was the year I got radicalized and since never looked back then first hearing this :

Yeah, they are two seperate things. You are right on about Berlin, it was never a producers city in the 90s, only BC and Klaus Kotai did something worthwhile. I don't see UR as unique as they did too many different things, and to me it's hard to distinguish a true UR sound. When they split up...

BC without a doubt. UR are great, but not unique, unless Robert Hood early solo stuff counts. And Mark Ernestus is one of the best producers ever when he works with Jeri Jeri/Ndagga:

completed miscredited by modern psychologists which obviously is a huge recommendation

they forgot environmentalism

floating quietly over city flickering lights:

all solid tracks, but this one need an extra mention as this is one of my all time favorites and that's rare as it's not from the 90s. Nearly sublime, weightless vibe and sounds like it was made without effort whatsoever

A light-as-a-feather track by Luke Slater. He should have done more like this

I usually don't care much for dnb, so as this is pretty allright this much be jungle, right?

still waiting for current architects to be subliminally influenced by this idea. doesn't seem to have that much of an effect

It will be back within 5 years if the current hard/fast/whatever techno bollocks doesn't calm down a bit

How can anything be better than the 90s, let alone all things techno related

Hey, I am not in disagreement with you there. I am all for no-soul-guaranteed tracks. But you can make those without being generic and a jack-of-all-trades. There is not a hint of 'soul' in the trad rock sense in any Wolfgang Voigt project, for instance. And he was/is not a jack-of-all trades...

Yup, listening to the destroyer ep now. Forgot how well the 303 went with even the (anti-) deutsche breakbeats

He is smart guy, am I right he also did write his techno records 'properly', with notation and all? He is not exactly cancelled as such, but did rile up a few of his fans post october 7th :

What you need is E de Cologne instead, someone who actually broke the hardcore continuum. Actually he put himself solidly in the very underreported amiga-tracker-lofi-non-rave-referincing-still silly-techno-hardcore continuum very well (his puppet techno act for instance)

I must say here I disagree. To me Martin Damm production were never that original while sometimes technically well done, while Alec had some proper unique and personal tracks, like SuEcide, The Report even he is a and was a massive blowhard. Not reason enough to cancel him tho, you touchy...
