Hey, first thanks for the feedback. About the music well yeah i share the opinion straight techno is too badly repesented these days.
The thing that's sad is that even if production wise its possible to stay straight to your style, dj wise its another affair as i need new records each week for my radio show (and my compulsive reccord addiction). Why ? Just because its not possible to buy any good techno these days except very few tracks, so well yeah i am among the ones who have partly followed that kind of Beyer or Carola trend... I think old "techno" producers like them have turned into some interesting minimal stuff, with load of shuffle and arrangement. Agaric aka Patrik Skoog is the most interesting example IMO. So my conclusion is that even if everybody can keep its mind straight to one style and never forget it, some other interesting things are happening around. DJ set wise it can expand a lot your vision. That schizophrenia embrasses me a lot ! Never forget minimal is Richie Hawtin, Robert Hood, Maurizio... but also all these good new talents ... Benoît.

Big congrats guys ! Elektrabel is (for my opinion) one of the true talents of 'minimal' techno scene actually, he stay right to his music and 'simple' as a personality when a lot of others would use the 'Axis' affiliation as a source of pretention to promote their sounds saying they are the 'descendents' of Jeff Mills , LOL x1 !. Tioneb ? A guy from France who also stay right to what he does ... Just respect. I try to follow him as best as I can and I enjoyed his past free releases. Don't want to be heavy in congrats but I feel good seeing guys like you who continue to defend and promote the sounds we like even if today, a lot of peoples have left the true tech sound for other horizons aka pseudo Detroit Techno (remember when I was talking on this list of guys using a pad, a bassline, a drum beat and claiming all around they love Detroit since they know how to do a similar thing... And just 'similar'), false copies of Hawtin minimal (who definitely makes me love minimal as we know it) or boring glitch minimal electronic music that interest only those who make it (I saw few forums/netlabels where only the producers talks about their own productions like if they was 'themselves' a revolution without getting the exposition the desserves...) LOL x 2 !. Aaaaaah ! Again I play too much with my emotions but music is all about this no ? Peace to all even if I'm arrogant sometimes, in all ways, I don't search to be mad with a anyone but as a musician myself I see some 'weird things' going on... It makes me sometimes hmmmmm...
