Re: 140 bpm, bitches.

Re: What have you learnt 2014

That suffering is only created by your own thoughts and beliefs (more that this got hammered home than learning it for the first time). How stagnant ideas in techno are repeated over and over and over and lapped up everytime, similarly the total and complete lack of any individuality and originality...

Re: kill your darlings

So the question is : when do you have to leave a track alone and come back to it on a later (better) day ? When I don't feel like I can add anything to it or have any more ideas to build upon it, alternatively if I realize the part im adding is actually not very strong and im realize im forcing it ...

Re: 1973 Techno - Igor Wakhévitch

Outstanding track, really powerful. The whole LP is definitely worth a listen if you're into crazy satanistic soundscapes. lNcTePruv3Y Enjoy 8-) With a heavy kickdrum on top I wouldn't blink an eye at this being released nowadays. Ive noticed a few techno tracks with these horrible out of tune (?) ...

Re: Beyerdynamic's 770 or 880 for low frequency monitoring?

With regards to headphone amps, check out the audio GD products, I think I may have previously mentioned it also because I was weighing the product I ended up buying againsed that epiphany one, very good components and sound. A head-fi favourite company.

Re: Examples of modern, futuristic, forward-thinking techno

Theres lots of people clearly trying to make spacey / futuristic techno and just emulating the shit out of each other with the tiringly stagnant bloopy modular minimal stuff.
