Funsters
I’m trying to get an understanding of techno in ’05 and if it’s any
different from how it’s always been, i.e. relatively marginal. It seems
that the scene is quite healthy, with lots of good new music, but it
also seems that it’s never going to grow beyond it’s current niche
'market', if you like.
I know that once people hear proper techno & house, they dig it, but I’m
curious to know how & where it’s being heard & enjoyed and if it’s
audience has changed at all in the last 20 years.
Do you think that there is a greater awareness and appreciation of 313
techno over the past 5 or 6 years, i.e. post-DEMF / Movement?
If you’re a label or shop owner - are you selling more records & CDs?
If you’re a radio or club DJ - do you play much techno and what kind of
response or feedback to you get? I have noticed that there are quite a
lot of new releases with relatively slow tempos, under 125 BPM or
thereabouts. Does this make a difference to where and when you play
these records, given the fact that they’re clearly not ‘peak time’
records for most club dancefloors?
Innerested to hear what peeps have found. Thanx. Sorry for the lousy
formatting.
