This is Techno ???

Too bad there ain't many dancefloors these days. To a evening club that wants to bank, a dancefloor is wasted space that could be filled with $5000 VIP tables.

That doesn't sound like a evening club!! Are there actually people that want to sit down for a civilised drink when at a evening club?

...so glad that you said that Dan.

Why am I not surprised people paying $12,000 for a table don't actually know anything about who they are seeing? "Oh yeah that guy up there? Must be from Ibiza or something, that's where all the big DJs are from right?"

Wow, that Luciano from IBIZA. All time.

$10k? whoa. reminds me of that story about dennis ferrer getting kicked off the decks in vegas. supposedly the complaints came from people who paid $5000 each for tables.

if heavy minimal techno without the fancy stuff is what you're into then it would have been worth it. they really delivered on that front. when i say worth it i'm assuming tickets weren't like $200 each. how much were they?

during ultra last year i ran into a guy whose rich friends paid $600 to get him into LIV for tiesto. he showed me some pics of it and i was like, i wouldn't pay that much to get in anywhere, even if i was rich.

treehouse looked like a pretty small club. i don't believe they could have given the kind of fancy show they gave at the gashouder in amsterdam last year. both shows are on be-at tv. you should check them out.

this!

it's just good to be aware of what people call what. progressive house can mean john digweed or swedish house mafia depending on how old you are.


if you can sticky posts, this post should be stickied. that part about reddits and music subs(blogs?) is essential otherwise you'll be stuck with tracks from the dj echo chamber as djs sets tend to support certain tracks/labels/artists. about a year ago i randomly found ReOrder, a slovenian trance dj/label owner who's stuff, as far as i could tell, hadn't been touched by armin and his "armada". i check ReOrder's facebook today and the first post is "thanks armin for playing me on a state of trance". lol.


has anybody ever dropped this at a club? first time i heard it was on be-at tv and i was definitely caught off guard. i keep believeing this is perfect for a valentine's day set.


you can blame his girlfriend ida engberg for that. they were chilling behind carl cox and during his set. adam definitely hit the jackpot.


i believe he was determined to spread "deep techno" this year. i was watching his ultra set and i was waiting for the techno tracks with fireworks and he didn't drop any. his set at treehouse definitely had the "berghain" feel.

I would suggest the reason it has ended up in the Techno genre is down to it being released under the Maetrik name and not Maceo Plex.

Maybe you should rebelieve how you approach digging for music. I can't remember the last time I really browsed by genre categories on any music sites. Usually I find new music by listening to DJ mixes and making notes of tracks I like (shazam is useful if out somewhere and works well a lot of the time)- then browsing based on artists and labels for more similar tracks, then listening to DJ mixes from any new artists I discover that way, that and occasionally I find stuff posted on reddit in various music subs. It's a lot less time consuming and I mostly just listen to new mixes while driving.

Well it ain't tech, it ain't techno and it ain't disco, so I just threw it under deep house. It's deep, a little dark and it's bassline was copied from this track which is very house on the funky tip:

Yeah I remember that!
Even Beyer has started dropping 'deep house' lately now haha

Adam Beyer managed to euthanize an entire pool party at WMC. SLS Hotel.
Maybe he should play more deep house when the sun is blazing and the bikinis are wet.

I can honestly say that anything that has been described as deep house to me either in the club or on any community I go on has, in my opinion been anything but deep house.


Old genre/name, rehashed to fill a gap because people have run out of ways to describe something.



I mean fucking Disclosure. Good, but not deep house. Dont get me wrong, a genre can develop over time and change and still be relevantly called the same genre but... nah .

But who am I to say. Im just an old fart that used to play deep house and is annoyed that younger people are now calling something else deep house.

Probably makes me sound like Jerry Wexler moaning that R&B has been misused as a term to describe wank like Usher.

That's the techier end of Techno. Adam Beyer had it on one of his Drumcode Radio shows.
