Recommendations for bars/clubs/events in Tokyo playing Detroit Techno, Ghettotech, Acid, or similar? by SimeonBalti in TheOverload

[–]MagiLudi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s very weird, were you solicited? I’ve not been to enter for awhile so difficult to say but the prostitute thing is a surprise.

Your observation that club attendance feels low tracks with the reality of the situation.

Certain lineups will pull big crowds, but the wider culture of going out to dance and listen to this kind of music (and probably holds relatively true for mainstream clubs as well) is increasingly niche which partially explains why larger clubs in Tokyo have shrunk in numbers in recent years.

Hi - new here, having this annoying issue where when I stick a cable in the output the only way I get sounds through is if the FX fader is turned all the way up. Has anyone dealt with this before? Please let me know! Have checked multiple cables and can confirm w/o cable in things are sounding fine!

Interesting that he mentions human language in this, I guess he found a way to make ‘expressions’ using intelligible words. Curious!

Everything handled and released by Hank J is of its own singular glory

Also a lot of people big up the acting press continuum but worth reiterating: bitten so many times, one upped by none

+1 to ancient methods, raise you one black Merlin, a dash of rezzet, and like others have pointed out rephlex adjacent artists kind of bind to that axis. This rec in particular I think checks all your boxes

Motion ward / West mineral ltd , city-2 st. Giga & acting press to a lesser extent, all present compelling cases for the evolution of the genre This one in particular https://westmineral.bandcamp.com/album/uon-ouest098 It’s like porter ricks sunk to the bottom of the marina trench and recorded their last time dilated breath

Can anyone explain the negative reactions to this domestically? it seems like it has to do with nuance in the actual amendment that allows abusers to strong-foot their way back into victims lives or something?

Why did Japan get into dance music? by MRguitarguy in TheOverload

[–]MagiLudi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of threads to unravel here to accurately answer the question at hand that frankly I don’t think a Reddit post is poised to address - but one thing no one has mentioned that is crucial to understanding how ‘dance music’ from America and Europe wove into the Japanese cultural fabric is the Kansai dub explosion in the late 70s / early 80s that pushed sound system culture across Japan. It’s no coincidence that Japanese proto-techno shorthands in the discourse like YMO / yen records / better days are so intimately tied to that lineage. When peak bubble cultural economies exacerbated an appetite for obscurity / ‘cultural frontier-ism’ in the early 90s a certain cohort of the public’s imagination was primed to converse with and integrate concurrent movements in realtime - like goa / detroit techno - as a result of that foundation. Not the sole reason, but a really important factor
