EMD Can we get a freakin' TECHNO thread or what?

Something warm & treasured from back in the day. '97. Always comforting to me. Life was simpler then. This still a classic! :)

I think i'll be on that mission forever to discover obscure gems from the 80's old school electro. Always more astonishment in store!

But committed to new electro, always always :alien: Ha! Your channel omg <::> so much to check out.

What about yourself Buzz, you enjoy those old & new strains? Modern electro can be so strange idk how it hasn't oozed into the drivers seats of scientolojy, hollywood and every human alive ho ho ho
"now. i . have . a. vocoder"
"the. vocoder. will. turn. my. wishes. into a machine gun . ho ho ho.

Its a cool thing to chill here and share a passion. Gotta be grateful for these things, when i pause to take it in.

Well I'm not as much into electro these days anymore but still enjoy it obviously =D
My favorite electro period is definitely late 90s early 2000s (Decal, Bass Junkie, Scopex, Radioactive Man, Aux 88, Blotnik Brothers....), but even towards the end of the 2000s there was still a lot of cool stuff being made but it was mad underground and not at all popular. That was kind of a dark period for pretty much every electronic genre so.... Mid 2010s were OK I guess, not so much my style, and slower more atmospheric tracks. Now it seems like there's a lot of fast and "big room" electro and ghetto electro pioneered by Textasy and his label, which I like :)

I'm definitely quite proud of my channel, there was a time when I was pretty established as one of the guys still into the older electro and actively uploading and discovering hidden gems... But with the new electro booming I can confidently say that the old school electro is completely dead and very few people still listen to it. I don't mind though, time goes on.





And this is more of an electro banger from the mid 2010s style!

nein ich bin australier. ich sollte beschäftigt werden und endlich deutsch lernen. Es ist Schicksal.
Dies wird wahrscheinlich seltsam übersetzt. :sneaky:

it's not even bad. although a bit old-timey.
although "ich sollte beschäftigt werden" is fucking weird, I'm bit unsure what you wanted to say
You wanted to keep yourself busy? "Ich wollte mich beschäftigen"
"Ich sollte beschäftigt werden" is passive and past tense, would translate to "I was ordered(/had the obligation/I was about) to be kept busy" get me? Weird construct ^^ sounds quite old-timey as well. If you wanted to say "I had to keep busy" then you'd say "Ich musste mich beschäftigen" in modern German.

"Dies" is old-timey as shit, usually only used in poetry or songs. But I like that, I use the language the same way

If you did that without a translator, then good effort. You seem to have a grasp on our grammar, but there also wasn't any tricky grammar in what you said :D

I did use a translator yes.
Thankyou v much for your candour. Believe it or not, as i was typing into the translator i had a feeling that "i need to get busy and learn to speak German" would not translate properly. It seems a very hmm...anglo type sentiment. "I need to get my life together" "i really should have sent that email yesterday". Very normal to british or australian society. But it feels kind of self-effacing, or to put it bluntly, full of guilt. Or something.

"I need to get my life together" in German would literally be "I need to get my life in order(Auf die Reihe, very military expression)" or "I need to bend my life straight".

German is the birthplace of weird phrases, although many phrases that you English-speakers use come from us, like "blue-eyed" for naive, "so far so good" "so weit so gut", "put it on ice" "auf Eis legen", "let the cat out of the bag" "die Katze aus dem Sack lassen", ..., many others changed a little over the years like "Taten sagen mehr als Worte"(actions say more than words) to "actions speak louder than words", some you did not adapt like "Da wird doch der Hund in der Pfanne verrückt"(lit. "This makes the dog in the pan go crazy"), translates to "Wow" or "What the fuck?"(negative or positive), or "Ich glaub mein Schwein pfeift" (lit. "I think my pig is whistling"), meaning essentially the same.

to learn German you should start with our Grammar, because it is a fucking nightmare, 4 cases, gendered nouns including neutral gender, thousands of irregular verbs, counter-intuitive pronouns for English-speakers, 16 dialects, with hundreds of sub-dialects that all use different words for the same thing (when I want a "Semmel"(a roll) somewhere outside High Bavaria people at the bakery just stare at me "Wad will er denn der Jung?"). That's the thing about only learning High German, many Germans/Swiss/Austrians don't even speak it very well. Once you get the Grammar on track, you can begin learning the language :ROFLMAO: no actually then you can already speak it

Eh, tracks are international, I thought it was going to be some Berlin Techno
man that shit is so rare, you kinda have to go to Berlin to hear it
Peter van Hoesen, yay, but he's Belgian ._:

But the Berghain is pretty exclusive, been there twice, you really gotta know the location to find the parties,
that's pretty cool. They don't promote or anything.
We've been to an even more exclusive one back in Berlin(9 years ago), that building didn't have a name, it was just some still half-destroyed pre-war building, fucking amazing party though, and the MDMA I got from one of the DJs there was out of this world

Berlin has one of the greatest party scenes I've come across so far. Even better than Andalucia, there's so many parties and they cost next to nothing or are entirely free(here in Bavaria many parties are 15-20€ just to get in, in Berlin it's 3€, and the drinks are half as expensive too) - but the best thing about it is the original Berlin music, like Soundviecher

This is Berlin Tech, lots of similarities with progressive psytrance, only never gave up on the techno flair

sorry he's the only half-famous artist I know, also a Soundviech, it's all quite underground
maybe I'll check soundcloud later, they usually got some stuff



comes in varieties

I've never been to Berghain, the dwarf(was convinced/read that it was a dwarf but could be wrong could be Tresor?) is pretty selective who he lets in.
I've also read before that you can catch geezers bumming each other in there...doesn't bother me.

Berlin calling gives you a good idea what to expect from the party scene in Berlin.

@December Flower I used to like kompakt's stuff sure they're German, u heard of them? That's the German stuff I liked. Some of it I'm not so keen on personally but there's also some quality gems I still love
E.g. used to love this Gui boratto album

Kompakt? You talking about the music store?
They link a lot of House music from Cologne if you mean them
it's just a music store though, they don't make any music

Quatsch mit Soße. Security was nice, we just had to pay a bit (but I came with 2 women, both times, so maybe that was my advantage)
I did not see a dwarf. I know it's called "mountain grove", haha, but it's a mix of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg because it's inbetween the two

Naja, while Berlin Calling (the album) is good, Berlin Calling (the movie) isn't exactly that.
I got a lot of respect for Kalkbrenner, but he likes glamourizing how fucked up Berlin is.
It's a fictional movie, and no that's not Berlin's party scene, those are actors together with the most famous DJ in all of Germany.
Far from the real club scene, and further even from the underground party scene
