When Basement Jaxx were high up in the charts and I was telling ppl I was spinning house... Ppl expected cheesiness of that variety. This is how techno could be ruined, wannabes that make millions out of the ideas of innovators will take it to the mainstream, it'll become formulaic, lose any hint of innovation between releases, it'll be watered down and a whole new generation of Paul Oakenfold's will claim that they were there at the start of the "techno explosion", ppl will praise them as innovators instead. It'll just generally give techno a bad name... They'll be ppl on mailing lists like this talking about it like we talk about trance... > answer these questions and you will see the end > result... > > You can not ruin something so ambiguous and > positionless... All the kids out there that only hear what's in the charts think that Moby is techno. It won't destroy the music we love but it will corrupt it's image. It won't stand for what it's stood for so long... Besides, Underground Resistance call themselves so for a reason. Nick (Dj Pacific:) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
