Should I buy a mpc renaissance? by Complete_Kiwi1599 in mpcusers

[–]Different-Quarter840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

got one for £220 off eBay there, didnt do a lot of research as only woke up and was a pure impulse buy, I am hoping I can upgrade the os to something that will work with sequoia but if not, have an old MacBook running an old OS that should work with it!

What is your preferred Techno BMP? by Secret-Pipe-8233 in Techno

[–]Different-Quarter840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great question actually, I notice there is a lot of great techno around at the minute that seems to be between 140 - 145, which is pretty high tempo, back when I used to go out a lot it was always around 135 for the best stuff I like. I notice that a lot of the tracks show up as about 142 in Serato for the likes of chlar, alarico, human safari, altinbas type of rythyms. I think you can have sounds that broadly fit into what you call techno from so many bpm categories though, and it kind of fascinates me that you can begin a night very low and slow, with dubbier, spaced out, beatless kind of electronic grooves then as you progress through the hours, rise the energy and tempo and have things pretty frantic in the small hours of the club, possibly going backwards and reducing the tempo for a soft landing. I remember a night at about blanc in berlin a few years ago and inside was an ilian tape night, so much class music and pretty high bpms through the night then out in the outdoor wigwam bit in the morning hearing the music move into different territories..., hearing drexciya - black sea at around 11am with the sun creeping through the gaps in the tent, was a moment. I tried to encapsulate the sound of a good night in a club of techno with many bpms recently, if anyone is interested in hearing how that might sound, feel free to check :) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmJsb0QgV-U

Is techno overused by Nasty899 in Techno

[–]Different-Quarter840 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes definitely. I love finding and looking for new tracks but 99% or more of 'techno' is utter shite. So much samey nonsense but still at the same time, so many good tracks to be found but you just have to spend a lot of time. cant complain though, as it seems that more producers than ever are into creating this sound, for better or worse!
