alot of these albums. |

03.15.12 | mediafire... |

03.15.12 | Either try a torrent or just google search for a download. The downfall of mediafire has made it harder to DL stuff. Most of that stuff is on Spotify as well though. |

I know you've probably just downloaded a million new albums but make Tri Repetae++ by Autechre a priority. |

So basically what you're saying is that you don't know what techno is |
geng
03.16.12 | "So basically what you're saying is that you don't know what techno is"
LAL, this. |
geng
03.16.12 | I quote from the article:
"techno is characterized by occasional “bass-drops” and wholly unmoving, random lyric samples like “ohhh sometimes, I get a goooood feeling.”
Fucking. Christ. So much wrong with that sentence I don't know where to start. |
YankeeDudel
03.16.12 | "So basically what you're saying is that you don't know what techno is."
I think I do, but I guess Im not the resident expert. At least half my list wouldnt be considered "techno" at all to me. Just because it has some electronic elements doesnt mean its techno. When I think of techno I think of repetitive generic dance music in 4/4. The fist pumping shit they play at every club and bar I go to. I mean "techno" is such a broad term though that it can apply to whatever you want it to since there are so many genres of electronica.
This is how Wiki describes it:
"Stylistically, techno is generally repetitive instrumental music produced for use in a continuous DJ set. The central rhythmic component is most often in common time (4/4), where time is marked with a bass drum on each quarter note pulse, a backbeat played by snare or clap on the second and fourth pulses of the bar, and an open hi-hat sounding every second eighth note. The tempo tends to vary between approximately 120 beats per minute (quarter note equals 120 pulses per minute) and 150 bpm, depending on the style of techno.
The creative use of music production technology, such as drum machines, synthesizers, and digital audio workstations, is viewed as an important aspect of the music's aesthetic. Many producers use retro electronic musical devices to create what they consider to be an authentic techno sound. Drum machines from the 1980s such as Roland's TR-808 and TR-909 are highly prized, and software emulations of such retro technology, are popular among techno producers.
Music journalists and fans of techno are generally selective in their use of the term; so a clear distinction can be made between sometimes related but often qualitatively different styles, such as tech house and trance. "Techno" is also commonly confused with generalized descriptors, such as electronic music and electronic dance music." |

03.16.12 | that's basically correct but there are still plenty of good techno albums |

03.16.12 | Like for instance, the new Monolake I just reviewed!
"deviant i imagine threads like this are to you as threads about hardcore are to me"
Pretty much

Eh this is somewhat true but it seems like they got themselves confused with house and/or tech house |
Aids
03.16.12 | a lot of the electronic music that I like that I thought was considered house, I've seen described as techno. I honestly don't know what's what anymore.
like, John Talabot's last album. I thought it was house but apparently I'm wrong? same with BNJMN and Roman Flugel and stuff, which I thought was just house, or "deep house" (whatever the fuck that is) |
YankeeDudel
03.16.12 | Well thats what Im sayin Deviant. What exactly is "techno" then? Does it include House, Trance, Big Beat, Trip Hop, Ambient, Breakbeat, Electronic Hip Hop, Glitch, Industrial, DNB, Dubstep, Chillwave, Electro Rock, Dance Punk, etc etc? See I just consider most it all "Electronica" like this site does cuz the million genres get annoying. |
Deviant.
03.16.12 | Talabot is house
BNJMN is tech house
Flugel is tech house
Deep house is just a style of house music that incorporates a lot of jazz and soul music. So by extension of that, it's quite a downtempo genre despite still being standard 4x4 and "danceable". It's less about a catchy synth line, and more subtle, kinda hypnotizing |

No, Techno is its own genre of music. It follows house music in structure, but it's more cold, glacial. It utilizes empty space and echo, '80s-sounding synths etc

03.16.12 | does the "tech" in tech house refer to techno? if so I'm so fucking lost on what techno is. I've seen Autechre described as techno too. |
Deviant.
03.16.12 | Yes, and early Autechre is very techno inspired, all the way up until Tri Repetae. Then they abandoned structure and went full idm |

Just start with a few classics from the main genres and move on from there. It's also a lot more fun to discover things on your own, than just download a million recs (most of which that are usually pretty terrible). |

"drumstep"? |

Meh, that's just an umbrella term for all the dubstep, garage, funky and tech house that's doing the rounds at the moment |
