Hero

The DJ and the dancer

The archetypal figures; the one behind the decks, the other dancing next to you. The ones you occasionally talk to, but when you see them next time at that other place you won’t remember their names.

Villain

MP3 Supermarkets

Drowning our releases in a sea of e1.99 downloads; pushing for boring digital-exclusives; fixing charts; choosing consumerism and over-production instead of quality; keeping half of the money the customers pay anyway; that’s not what I have in mind as service.

A decade of popular success and that old Techno cynicism still wants to stick.

That was it folks, that was the moment in the sun for techno, thats as good as it gets before we crawl back to the underground. I guess you can't have your techno and eat it to.

In general agreement though ' thanks for the post ..

A review of the decade in techno and no mention of Surgeon, Regis etc or the even style of music they've spawned.

Ha, this column is funny. Kompakt one of your labels of the decade paved the way for the said shit minimal you are giving out about. Like Stefano said where is the mention of the likes of Surgeon? Detroit gets the same shunning from you. Woeful stuff.
