I'm in no way interested in "where I see electronic music going in five years". It's simply a fact that interesting music will continue to be produced and interesting artists will emerge from the woodwork and re emerge from the past. All I'm bothering myself with is refining my own music collection and developing a deeper understanding between myself and the sounds that move me.

Anyone care for a smoke?

Seriously though, midget iPad DJing ftw

in 5 years the scene is older, with an even greater generation clash than now. i see the scene dividing between the ones old school DJ'ing and the digital artists mixing large amounts of tracks, taking parts of it and making new things out of it. Nowadays, it's already like that but the output is relatively alike. in the future, this mashing up of tracks with the numbers of digital possibilities will make it sound extremely different from the usual DJ set. and also, the public is gonna know about it, everybody's going to be able to be a DJ, maybe that's a good thing, causing the digital dj's to really go experimental in their methods and the old school jocks to search even harder for obscure tracks noone knows...

no oh god no. no hard techno crap.

mmm, i don't mean hardcore. 140 is a little slow for that anyway :P. for me those "90's techno sounds" are old hawtin material (fuse, early plastikman), old johannes heil, basic channel, most anything from 90's tresor, these are the flavours i'm getting at.

i suppose berghain and all this recent "dark deep" techno, mike dehnert, peter van hoesen, ben klock, these are the "successors" to the tresor legacy (inifiniti, jeff mills, joey beltram). and i dig their stuff, but it is just too slow for me. take adam x's traversable wormhole, heavy industrial-techno stuff, but much of it is 128 bpm. if it sounded good pitched at 140 i'd play it that speed. luckily most of this 125-130 stuff can be pitched down to 120, which sounds nice and opium-remixy.

tone-def, this fact is possibly the most attractive aspect of dubstep to me. i find most of it soulless and bland. the more technoid/house forms of dubstep are drawing in a lot of dj's into the realms of techno. straight dubstep mixes just sound like a 90's jungle set slowed down 50 bpm much of the time :P

Drum and bass is old news in the United States, like old enough to be retro.
