Techno general discussion

You are correct about Rrose, he/she never disappoints. It's an interesting travel how Rrose got into the techno scene; having friends around like Bob Ostertag doesn't hurt.

Enjoy

Great track, been a while since I played it. I was exposed to Rrose through Sandwell District a few years ago. I find the visual component of the project very appealing as well.

i just found out about this video:

[gin soaked boy]

dude i'd do anything for that set at ohm
and for free??? damn dude

Yeah, i know... but sometimes it's just too much. Next week there will be AnD, Shifted, Ancient Methods and Demdike Stare and that's just the start of the month. Luxury problems.

Btw: Did you listen to the latest Demdike Stare-tracks?

This electro punk attitude is amazing:



Edit: your video doesn't work btw

DUDE OH FUCK THAT LINEUP DAMN
are they all gonna play like 4 hour sets or what?

[gin soaked boy]

No no no, Shifted will play a regular Berghain-set (don't know when and how long).

All the other acts are part of Krake-Festival and there are more great artists in the line-up to find: http://krake-festival.de/index.php/lineup-tickets/ So I think they won't play really long, but all of them will play live-sets (instead of random dj stuff).

Back to topic:
Sick video, solid track.

[brettwagg]

Wow all those in one month would rule.

The new Demdike Stare stuff isn't bad, but TBH I haven't really had my socks knocked off by anything they have done since the first 3-4 lps ... I have the Triptych 3xLP and it's completely solid. A lot of the stuff on Elemental is really good too but I haven't spent as much time with the material. The test pressings stuff while undeniable good doesn't floor me as much as the earlier stuff did.

I also saw today that Downwards is releasing a new record featuring Dom Prurient doing vocals and Ugandan Methods doing the music. Could be either terrible or amazing. I really like both things separate a lot, but I am sceptical.

[gin soaked boy]

I prefer their earlier stuff as well. But I think they do now what Aphex did with the analord-series after releasing drukqs. Maybe it's the right way for an artist to go back to the origins (afx = acid, demdike = jungle/hardcore) and to focus on perfecting your craft instead of trying too hard to create something new. I enjoy their new tracks as basic stuff with a sophisticated aggressiveness (no NIN-comparisons, please ) and I hope they will come up with something more complex in a few years, when the time has come.

Don't know if this should be posted in "techno" or in "tattoos" tread, but...
I got a new tattoo with a Rrose artwork which I'm really proud of it

[PascalKreutz]

Which clubs do you prefer to listen techno? I really enjoy Berghain everytime I am in Berlin.

i've never been to any proper techno clubs, but i've seen a techno show at fabric the one time i was in london for a week
here in vancouver we don't have any proper clubs at all, they all play edm
the proper techno happens in warehouses and basements and the back of old record stores, but most of them get shut down really quickly

[Atmosphere]

Anyone going to Dekmantel? I am! The lineup is sooooo fucking good

[MoFiya]

^ it indeed is, friends of mine are going on Friday. Would love to be on Mainstage on Friday, UFO on Sunday.

I will probably see Rodhad next week.....

By now, I really can't imagine any other place as good as Berghain, when it comes to techno...
Festivals? I just don't fit them: I like clubs...
Ibiza? Been there many times, still love the fun in it, but -honestly- there's no techno in sight and everything is terribly over priced...
Other nice clubs worldwide? There are plenty! But I cannot "compare" them to a place where every sunday lasts 36hours and includes at least two between Klock, Dettman, Pete, Boris, ACR, Fieled ecc...
Other nice clubs in Berlin? Tresor, Suicide, ecc they all have good lineups, good bass, nice people ecc... but the "vibe" ends after 6-7-10hours when Berghain is just about to set-off...

This one never gets old.

Figured this could be of interest to some people on here. Stream of the debut release of a local, Copenhagen-based, guy - released on the currently extremely hyped Posh Isolation label.
Deep Sandwell District vibes on this one, but a solid debut.

udbrud, very good. I'll need to look into this.

In case some are not familiar with the German duo Oake.

Their Boiler Room appearance was as expected; very animated. Have no idea why it was taken down. I managed to download the audio.

i've been finding a lot of really good techno tracks nowadays
i bought this damaskin release during my trip to new york:

BUT
this isn't the best track i've heard lately
but it's so goddamn catchy that i've listened to it five times today:

I visited the exhibition "10 Years of Berghain" yesterday. (Info: http://www.factmag.com/2014/07/08/be...rsten-nicolai/)

It's definitely not a must-see, most of the artworks are nothing special. But I enjoyed the atmosphere as well, because the building is so beautiful. And while it was sunday afternoon, you could hear the bass from the party still running as a constant drone.

Btw: Demdike Stare-set was amazing, but Suicide Circus was overcrowded and hot as fuck.

Edit: The distorted metallic sounds in the Damaskin track are sick, good thing. But the kick of the second one is too much BOOM for me.

oh man, i really need to visit berlin sometime

the BOOM in that track is part of why i like it, lol

Wish I had the chance to see that exhibition. Most likely I'll never get the chance to step foot in Berghain. Hear ya on the beauty of the building.

Just thought I'd pop in a drop a track I've been listening to frequently.
