erhmm well I don't really listen to techno. For every electronica ignorant, everything that has somehow a 4 on the floor beat and sawy synths is techno, however, the genre I listen to (and mix in) is Trance.
I Don't know whats your huge collection of techno, but it sounds to me like you're just starting to listen to electronica. Trance has so many variations that I can't name them all. Infected mushrooms, Dj Tiesto, System F, Ferry Corsten, Carl Cox, Cosmic Gate, Those and many more are the type of electronica I listen to. I'm sure they won't ring a bell to you anyways.
For this mix, I didn't tought "hey lets mix this in melodic trance" or "I'm gonna make a friggin amazing Athem trance song out of this". I don't like to stick to genres, I just let my style flow with the mix. I don't know why this guy is so pissed off that this song doesn't sounds like techno when in the first place it wasn't intended to. I must agree in that gecko yamori is a good mixer, but "techno" is not his main genre. I suggest you to listen to people like SupergreenX, bLiNd, Prophecy or Thomas Nelson, those are consistent remixers of the genre, although, their genre is Trance, not techno.
So yeah, I don't mind if someone doesn't likes the song, but saying that it just plain sucks based on the fact that you have amassed a huge techno collection... I don't think its right (considering the fact that the song isn't techno). Also, saying its repetitive?!? lol this has more variation than the 80% of the trance songs. Start looking for some Trance artists, and then come back and give an opinion that actually has a base.
(and apex twin techno? wtf?)
K honestly.... i hate 99% of trance because alot of people submit garbage to this genre and they sound the same. This is just because they are trying to imitate some mainstream dj or artist that made a trance peice.. and the original guy that said this remix was trash and repetative... wtf are u talking about. I can say that hands down this track is not repetative. It has so many variations, and its the 1% of trance i like. Its nice and slow, it has an epic feel to it. Dude, u know jack shit about techno if u think this is trash. and if ur saying its trash cause ur basing it on genre, get a life man. dont be so freaking biased. Go listen to sasha for instance, he mops the floor with apex twins abstract shit. Honestly. I have been listening to techno since the day it was born, 19 or so years ago. I know good techno. Apex twin... like come on man. To each his own, but that man just uses a bunch of screwed up sound effects and a shitload of effects. Go listen to BT, a man who devoted his entire life to the study of music, and therefore has become one of the most inspiring electronica artists in the world. Hey on second thought, before you start saying that an author has no idea of what techno is, and should listen to it before he makes it, why dont u go listen to some other sir nuts songs. that will shut u up. For instance, go listen to his Heat man remix on vgmix. this is fantastic and ingenious! This is a man who knows his techno.
