I'd agree that techno in London especially is dawdling but I think it really depends on what you want from a club night. The Nesh parties by Warp are fun, and in a sense a derivative of the scene from the late eighties.
Certainly there isn't the excitement there once was. I was surprised by the lack of "special" atmosphere for Jeff's appearance at NYE - disappointing considering that Lost was meant to be one of THE clubs in the UK for techno. I suppose this is bound to happen when a "scene" has been carrying on for so long. People's expectations are dashed too often. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stuart Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 313 (E-mail) <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 1:16 PM Subject: Re: [313] jeff mills stars again I'm with Nicole on this one. The London techno scene is dying a death. There 's only about 3 or so half decent techno nights going on & even then it could be so much better. It's either hard loops to bang yer head against the wall to or this tech house malarkey which was alright to start off with but it's all getting as samey as the hard loops stuff (though obviously it's a completely different style). Whenever I go out nowadays the music just seems to bore me stupid & judging by the attendances at such nights in London I'm not the only one. Whatever happened to plain good old fashioned techno music with funk & soul. It's just not the same as it used to be. Oh & before anyone pulls me up on it I realize I may well have made some pretty large generalizations here but when you take it to the bottom line it's not really that healthy over here is it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
