Where is this music progressing?

[dtgunslinger]

Ok, so I am not the most dedicated listener, I leave, come back hoping to feel that rush I first had finding a local college station that was doing some, house, techno, Trance, Trip-Hop, electronic, industrial stuff and was total rolling with it.
I soon started calling to find out more about what they were playing and some how some way discovered GU013 Ibiza. Whoa! I was hooked and whom else did this fine label have to offer damn John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia (come on now GU010 Athens was dark and sexy, Miss Kitten-Frank Sinatra), Dave Seaman, Hernan Catteneo, Tony DeVit, Nick Warren, etc. An open velvety music absorbing you and made you feel something deep, rhythmic. Damn good stuff is what I am trying to say. Lately though I am not seeing the direction.
Don't get me wrong, I love to listen to it, the newer Danny is ok, the Steve Lawler Viva Toronto has moments but I am just not feeling that same primal beat that moved my soul, made me think about the mood the DJ is mixing, where it starts and where it leads you through doors and canyons. Delta Heavy Tour, Live at the Crobar, my only two shows, shame, shame, especially now that I am in NYC. There is more ground breaking going on then I am aware.
So, my constant reader, those who are wondering if I am serious, guide me, point to someone on the edge, pushing to the next step. I will listen and appreciate the feedback. Thanks for the reply.

I hear ya. Just like the rest of the music Genre's out there, the easier the average non musically inclined people can get their hands on production software etc, the more trash you have to sift through. There is still some awesome stuff being produced but you really have to look. As for Sets, by well known DJ's; they too leave a little to be desired any more, but I am not quite sure what to accredit this too really. I like to give not so wellknow Dj's a chance also, but I am not totally impressed like I was a few years ago. everytime one sees the light of day, they are dubbed "the next biggest, or the saviour of etc," but I don't hear it. And the direction things have taken so far isn't really my taste, with all of the minimal and the melodyless techno, but thats just me . I just look for stuff that is my taste,(which takes time), and spin that, while throwing in some older classics. You gott ado what you gotta do.

Maybe. I love what Diggers is playing again, so that's all that matters to me.

I stopped fretting over the music and quit reminiscing about the old stuff or bitch about the new stuff. It's just music. If it's good, great. If it's boring, into the bin it goes. There's always more music out there. (And I'd never have said this back in the day when I was leeching music on a 36.6k modem!)

Yes it is!!!

All together now! Say it with me:

"The music these days, it sucks. Not like back in MY DAY when I first got into the scene. I heard those beats on Warren's Renaissance 1 back in 1972, man those loose hi hats, full snares, and predictable trancy melodies really hit the spot. Nowadays, it's all just blippy nonsense! The music is going STRAIGHT TO HELL, DAMMIT"

There. I just saved us about twenty posts in this thread.

Re: Where is this music progressing?

Well, this is a tired old discussion, but for the record Iīll say that Iīve actually been finding a lot of great stuff out there which is more melodic and proggy, I really think weīre seeing a moment where melody and groove are making a comeback, and itīs no wonder that for me Diggers and Sasha are in their finest form since the beginning of the decade, IMO.

I donīt dislike minimal, but I do dislike the fact that itīs given a lot of talentless people an excuse to put out music.

BTW, if you donīt know about him, can I just recommend Marcel Dettmann? Check him out for some awesome minimal/techno done right.
