Gentrifying techno

Bonobo drops the best fucking Boiler Room sets.

it's obvious techno never was a low class thing, my point was that there's a BIG diference between his beginings and its actual high level of gentrification

Gen Xers who remember Ibiza before the 'shroomheads and acid junkies took over the gigs, and Millennials who know the name of the island and have Daddy money to spend.

... you dont need to be posh or elitist to enjoy it, right? but you're assuming the opposite, following your logic indie rock should follow the same path of being "fashion and highbrow-oriented"

its not a low class vs middle class thing. this was a gay thing, everything electronic is linked to gay or ends in gay, electronic is the gay.

op sounds unnecessarily bitter though

in a lot of those boiler room videos i assume all those posh girls don't have any clue about the history of techno,so it's like why don't they listen top 40 radio instead?

>this was a gay thing, everything electronic is linked to gay or ends in gay, electronic is the gay.
not everybody are gays though
it's not about a race thing actually. why americans focus so much in race? there are also interesting scenes in japan, germany and others

what kind of people are those girls in that video or boiler room video? i doubt those girls have a clue about techno actually why dont listen top 40 radio like most of girls?

instead of replying to your own posts, can you tell me what you think are the three most influential labels when it comes to techno and why since youre the expert

>this was a gay thing
techno being gay is a distortion of the truth. gay club = drugs, drugs want fast energetic danceable music, so techno, like nrg and disco before it was suited for gay clubs because it worked. it was also not mainstream, it was underground which is where the gays, the minorities and the poorer would go because it avoided the high price fancy wine bars with people in blazers etc. it was outcast music and gays were outcasts, as were blacks and others. when white middle class people were dancing in the clubs to Huey Lewis and the News' album Fore!, their most accomplished album, which included the undisputed masterpiece "Hip To Be Square", it wasn't acceptable to be in such a place high on gay drugs or be black and those white people didn't want to listen to techno because it wasn't suitable for their environment.
techno was only acceptable in misfit places and gays were misfits.

there was a boiler room in my city and it was full of people who wanted to go because it was an 'event', not because of who was playing (all random local scene djs). but the crowd was a mix of local scene people and people who would have usually been at the commercial bottle service clubs.

not him but over the whole course of techno i would say (in no particular order)
>plus 8
made techno white and european
>(nu) drumcode
made techno mainstream
>UR
remained the color-bearer of the original ethos of techno

>gentrifying

ok but not everybody were gay and as you pointed black people were assistants in the beginnings so it wasnt a posh thing since their beginnings like some pointed

boomer detroit techno and idm - no thanks!

whats wrong with mall grabb

>not acknowledging detroit is one of the peaks in techno music
>assuming old is bad
post yours, i'm curious

tromatic reflexxions is idm?

gigi dagostino and morton feldman, exclusively

no one knows what is that

i would say it more the commoditization of dance music events. i watched boiler room in the beginning when it was in the literal boiler room and it was a mix of styles just being streamed, but then they wanted to make money from it, so partnered with brands and then the "Boiler Room" brand as an event was created, either in partnership with brands trying to "buy cool" or to ingratiate themselves with the market, or to further the reach of the Boiler Room brand itself. now it is just a label for "cool, mainstream and off-mainstream" dance music.
that performance you posted is a good example. it could be seen as a opportunity to give the crowd a new experience, but it is really cashing in on a popular track by, i think, villalobos who used or sampled that guys track (i might be misremembering). it was just a sort of meme set to attract a crowd.
boiler room "being techno" is as you suggest not totally true, but techno is one of the "coolest" genres of dance music (as opposed to future house big festival type music) so it is more suitable for the boiler room brand. but they do still have their original genres like dnb and shit like that regularly, as well as London Meme House Music of the Month.

you (?) said those records were techno or idm

for real tho who cares about the integrity of techno and its natural drift when you have the privilege of a containment genre (i.e. EDM) made exclusively to filter out impurities from techno

I've been trying to gain an appreciation for the "art" of DJing. Does anyone have any Boiler Room sets that really showcase that? I've only seen Laurel Halo's set before and liked it.

Thanks, will check out.

People who really, really love listening to techno without the inhibition of alcohol or drugs are strange desu. Mostly nerd MEN. When you go to a club you get high and drunk and dance your ass off! Those who don’t do that are just there to go out for the night. It’s not hard to understand. How could boiler sets change anything? I have a feeling the OP of this thread has never been out to a techno club party thingy anyway.

you can dance and enjoy quality techno (sessions) at the same time right, mr obvious?

imagine meeting some jap girls in the after party

op here. im pointing only about gentrification. i don't understand what you're talking about and how is related to the thread topic

Yeah but usually you’re a weirdo dude doing that, it what I’m saying.

Because you’re 16 and a faglet

so people going to tresor are weirdos because they're looking for some quality to dance?

imagine going to tresor after the mid 00s lol

imagine being a scenester

That's pretentious. Also you're showing mostly idm or electro and not techno music. It's looks like you don't know shit about what you're talking about.

based

Yeah dudes who like techno solely for the music (no getting high, no schmoozing it up outside) are usually weird fucking dudes yes. Do you go to tressor?

you can dance to gentrified (business techno) or not gentrified tecno, reatard. do you get that? no one is arguing about partying or not so is pointless what you're saying here . get it, retard?
my point is having some quality standard is the reason some people go to some club.
part of those records are techno, the others have elemnts of techno in their sound

>Yeah dudes who like techno solely for the music (no getting high, no schmoozing it up outside) are usually weird fucking dudes yes.
my point is there are people whol ikes the music and partying too and dont have to eat the business techno shit. i wonder if that's so hard to understand. so following your logic people must have low standard
