    Sure, I like 90's music :)


    I haven't heard of any new techno in the last 5 years.

    With out music, their is no techno.

    So your opinion is quite contradicting.

    Hehe, we can go into a long discussion here. In short I mean that some music is musically funded and some music is commercially funded.
    I like music that comes from peoples heart, not peoples brain.

    I like Techno, Trance, Goa, check out this song by Nathan Profitt, it truly takes you to another world:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BncHO29Cwwk

    And to all of those who don't like techno, it is the best musical style in the world, it is named after technology, studies have shown that electronic music is listened to by those with higher IQs.

    There is a difference between good and bad trance. I always hear people who dislike techno/trance say the same thing. They say all the beats are the same, stuff like that. In reality, this is all BS.

    With high quality trance, the beats alternate, and the sound is unique for each song. Plus, there is difference styles of techno/trance, just like there are different styles of Rap and Metal.

    I have nothing against Rap or Metal, I think as far as Rap goes, Tupac was the best, and no one can touch him. I also like Korn. But Techno is the music of the future. It inspires me to push forward, work harder, take risks, and overcome failure.

    Trance is the official music of the future. What sucks is that it is not fully represented in most movies, video games, which pisses me off. In the future, if I make a movie or an online game, I would like to feature techno/trance as a dominant musical platform.

    TV Techno is so watered down and corporate that no hardcore fan of techno likes it. Techno is best when it is underground. As soon as it is commercialized, it starts to suck. I don't like any commercial. Most of the DJs I listen to are underground.

    I don't even like Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, or the Armin Van Buren that much, because they are too mainstream. The underground stuff tends to be superior, because the musicians are willing to experiment. Nathan Profitt is one of the best, and I also like Oakenfold's older music. Astral Projection is also excellent.

    Also, for those of you not familiar with techno, here are genres closely related to it

    1. Goa Trance. Very underground. Only the most hardcore fans listen to it.
    2. Psytrance. Variation of Goa trance. Has somewhat replaced Goa over the last five years.
    3. Techno. The style that started it all. It is generally accepted that three Black men from Detroit invented Techno in the 1980s, but Europeans were also working on the style at the same time. I've heard a lot of Black people accuse other Blacks who listen to Techno of acting White, but if you know your history, you would know that African Americans were Techno pioneers.
    4. Trance. This style was started in the 1990s. More fast and upbeat than Techno.
    5. Hard Dance.
    6. Jungle. This style of natural and Jungle like sounds.
    7. Ambient. This is a electronic style of music which is very slow. It generally has cool sounds, and it is a good music to relax or go to sleep to.

    Today this style of music is dominated largely by Europeans. However, there are Americans like Nathan Profitt who are very good, and you also have, one my favorite, Yoji Biomehanika. Yoji's music is insane.

    Hardstlye is OK. I prefer more melodic and energetic stuff like Freeform, Trance, and Happy Hardcore (Nuskool). There just isn't enough of it being produced :(

    Looking forward to this event in November http://www.yourgigs.com.au/event/?47339575

    Scott Brown and Kevin Energy!!!

    House is the BEST and no one can and never will disagree with me.

    House is the music you can listen everywhere either when you're sleeping, in a club and it is the perfect genre to dance to. If you want to know more about house, tell me and I'll post the best DJs and songs and types.
