please tell me you're joking, or just an electronic music n00b.

techno is a distinct genre of music...Adam Beyer, Marco Carola, Surgeon, Hawtin, Cari Lekebusch, Robert Hood, Jeff Mills, Kenny Larkin, Carl Craig, Frankie Bones, Matthew Dear, Ricardo Villalobos, Heiko Laux, Sutekh, Stewart Walker, Joey Beltram, Daniel Bell...(names for days)..

that's techno.

d'n'b is d'n'b, dubstep is dubstep.

starting to warm up to some, and considering making some music. i made a bassline in Cubase 5 using Albino.
I just hate ragga mc's and wailing divas (wtf's up with that?). f all that

I always thought "techno" was just the first unecassary sub-genre division of house music. Whereas house used more live samples, pianos, vocals, sax etc, techno was the same but all made up from synth components. Either way it's all house to me. :)

Dubstep has something about it that switches me on. It grooves very nicely and has some wicked textures but there's a bit too much of a grime feeling in it for myself. I'm sure there's folk out there making good stuff but most of what I hear sounds angry.

Same with DnB, I prefer the more interesting tuneful stuff, which last I heard was now called "liquid funk".... damn subgenres!

Err.. sorry what am I looking at? It's about a documentary right?

I understand there's a whole techno scene out there where they have music labelled techno in all styles, minimal/funky/hard techno and so forth. It's just I've always used the literal sense of how the term was first coined as shortened version of the word "technology". Under that kind of understanding all electronic music could be called techno, though I do associate the term with 4 on the floor beats aka house music :)

It all started with Jack.

btw... Jack's house was on the other side of the lake from Detroit Tech City. the warehouse on the pier (detroit) was throwing parties at the same time house was pumping from Chicago clubs, perhaps even earlier.

where as house pays homage to disco, techno got its 4/4 inspiration from Kraftwerk's Computer World and Trans Europe Express.

... then new york came up with the paradiso garage. People don't talk about that one much though :)
 
Around here (detroit/windsor) we refer to all electronic music as techno, it may be wrong, but its pretty much just commonly accpeted slang now adays. Guess I should have said electronica or something. My bad.

And I love the grime.

Yeah... dillinja wrote a tune about you:


What's good dubstep then?

I listen to Dubstep.fm every now and then, but it's very rare that I hear something that's "the greatest music in the world" as it's starting to be known by younger folk in the uk. Sounds like DnB + Ketamine :)
 
Well, I like grime a lot more than most people so my definition of good dubstep is my own view.

DatsiK, is well, sick. If he's too filthy for you, check out Tes La Rok (
) , and maybe some Benga (
) or Skream (
). Tes La Rok is much more refined then most of the dubstep I listen to. The way I normally find good dubstep (because very few people I know have ever heard of it) is to go on last.fm or pandora.com and put DatsiK in, you should get some good leads to find more. Those are just the most popular artists from my understanding of it.

BTW, <3 Dillinja
 
Dubsteps boring! Dont like it at all YAWN! Its like slow dnb never really going anywhere, ive heard some dnb djs mix one or two tracks in a set and its ok but a whole set of that would have me snoring. Dnb and banging techno,140-150bpm is where its at!
