Techno in it's modern, European form has become monotone to the extreme (Adam Beyer, Drumcode etc onwards.) Gone are the jacking syncopations, synthetic hooks, and emotional chords. Rarely even a bassline to follow. Now, it seems producers are laser focused on removing any trace of relatable humanness and providing the raver with a stark, cold and quantized space to exist within. Somewhere between bare white cube ala THX1138, gothic cathedral and operating theatre. Every sound exacting in its function. Zero decoration or or feature to grasp hold of. No choice to submit and be consumed. Just relentless nothingness.

model 500 from the 80s and 90s is so great in part because it's super aesthetically focused without giving you claustrophobia. it can range from austere machine music to really lush and melodic. at times it's almost pop, at times it's almost orchestral, at times it's just seven minutes of gated reverb 808s—but always with the same underlying style or something. so it's like you're getting different kinds of experiences within the same sci fi world. i don't know that any subsequent techno producers have been able to match that 1st generation detroit combination of intensity of vision with expansiveness.

Wonder if this is partly down to a lot of people's entertainment and friction coming from global gossip networks.
You may not feel the same desire to be challenged by art when you're being probed and prodded by 'the discourse' all day.

no it's the fact that you are focusing on an already outdated hipster crowd.

I'm not being funny here. A lot of those hipper crowds that @mvuent talks about are remnants of the 20th C. What is required is an adjusting of compasses. By and large, electronic music crowds cannot be reclaimed or engaged with. You have to refuse the discourse, and become stubborn. In the same way that the E generation ignored the multitudes of 60s acid casualties, you must ignore all 90s rave casualties.

despicable ambient, captagon psychosis, koftecore, zakir naik, pastoral devils, strap in. Need to go through what I played but tracks from: bernard barnier, mukata'a, esplendor geometrico, nocturnal emitions, atrax morg, Beatriz Ferreira, Arash Pandi, etc.
