What makes the tracks I posted "good" as opposed to "sarina paris/Sandstorm/feel the beat/" type stuff? The sarina paris/darude stuff is CHEESE. It's by artists who arn't artists, they're not DJ's, and they're very poor producers. It's like Alice Deejay, it's catchy **** you like to hear on the radio, but the only club you'll hear it in is Chucky Cheese.
I posted good examples of various genre's of "Techno" (but I didn't post ANY actuall Techno tracks...how ironic). It annoys me to see kids running around saying they like "Techno" and this and that "techno" song is great.....when it's actually just a poorly produced Synth-Pop song.
I posted this thread to show/expose ppl to good examples of House, Hard House, Trance, and Hard Trance.....the stuff they'd think of as Techno.
What makes Sandstorm Techno? b/c it was created with a synth? So are all the beats for NSYNC, Britney Spears, and some of Depeche Mode...Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park use DJ's, does that make them Techno?...............No.
