As there's a few of us into repetitive beats perhaps our stories might interest each other. wasurenaide's curtain being a case in point.

I'm not suggesting my techno stories are particularly any good (well they are for me) but they might tickle you if you like that sort of thing.

Keywords that I can remember off the top of my head are wisdom; purification; and of course ecstasy. For the last few days I've had Joey Beltram inside my head non-stop. Badup dup dup dup - dahp dahp dhup dhup - badup dup dup dup - WAHP WAHP WHUP WHUP

On a similar subject, I've just noticed that there are some great parties on over the summer. Check dis:

METAMORPHOSE07

so your a techno fan too, synewave!?

I used to listen to a lot of techno. (used to live in Leeds as a student and go to The Orbit a bit) not so much nowadays though... but having said that, I have had contact just this week from a numebr of old freinds who i used to go to techno events with. like a sign of some sort... "Yorkii... listen to techno again...!!!" That party looks pretty mean. I was also thinking about going to the Wire festival this year. have you seen that?



I also didn't have much trouble remembering ecstasy either.

I just started listening to techno about a month ago, thanks to my girlfriend dragging me to a couple clubs. I wouldn't call myself a fan yet, but if you have some recommendations as to what artists I should try listening to, I'd love to hear them. Perhaps I will become one by the time I get to Japan (in about a month).

essential listening:

Underground Resistance, Drexciya, Basic Channel, Rob Hood, Jeff Mills, Ricardo Villalobos, Atom Heart and related projects, Richie Hawtin's mixmag live mix, 3 chairs label, Orac label, sonicsunset.com online internet station... er, that ought to get you started.

Wait, wait, a guy named "synewave" is a fan of techno?

I bring nothing to the table...

A rhetorical question?

Had never visited sonicsunset.com before, looks interesting

Another website that I listen to sometimes is samurai.fm.

Welcome to Japan. Hope you enjoy your time in Ibaraki.

Recently I've been listening to Dave Clarke's radio show White Noise. Has a wide variety of stuff from funky grooves through to pots and pans! Aug 18th part 2 is doing it for me just now.

Thanks! Unfortunately, since arriving in Japan, I've only had access to the internet at work, so no new music for me for the moment. However, one of my coworkers is a devout techno fan, so I'll have some support!
