Hart voor Detroit (Page 1 of 7)

yea totally agree.
also detroit hip hop is some of the freshest too right now.
kyle hall record on hyperdub is fantastic i think,
but as for new records most i buy are from detroit, theyre still able to push a sound without sounding superficial.
Don't forget Andrés either Kuczera

probably the reason its not on here much is because people are too focused on style than good music,(sorry guys)
thats why people think andy romano record is good. style over substance. (feel free to counter with 'i just like it, its just my opinion')
then people think of the style of detroit house and ignore it, prolly from 94 or something
i cant see any other reason why you would like chicago but not detroit stuff.

or maybe its too black?

really nothing new in ideas here, but shit like this will get me every time

could be, i'm a music lover not a style lover

What most complicated says. Wallet is not deep enough to dive in too many genres at the same time.

I really like some of the Detroit classics but Omar S. for instance is to me just crap. 50% of his productions are apparently random sequences. The stuff everybody likes so much is for me just boring middle of the road techno. More raw (lofi?) than modern european shit but that's about it. I just don't feel it.

I think the Omar S. hype is also probably because IF tends to play some of his tracks or something. All that talk of "soul" being in there to me is utter bull. Just some guy sequencing some shit in his basement.

that's a pretty stupid remark, sorry, I feel quite offended, I certainly would not judge things by their color. Anyway, please read my comment and you'll get a better idea of what I've said.

1 - not enough money and time (to dig every possible kind of music)
2 - too hard techno (for my taste)
3 - still love some of them

and this genre thing, well, you have to take it, genres exist, and they are there to define certain type of music, so minimal techno, dubstep, rock, reggae. I'm not into reggae for example, at all, but if I stumble upon a nice record and I feel I need to have it I'm gonna buy it, different from disco or chi which I'm actively dig for.

I like detroit techno but I'm not to keen on the whole revival of detroit techno the last two years, they can't beat the stuff from '90-'96. Also, but that's personal, I think a lot of detroit techno sounds the same, also with the old one. I hardly hear anything that is stuck in my head, it's all too forgettable because it all sounds the same, it's the same with acid house and dub techno. The music is not bad but they're all alike. I have a lot of old Carl Craig (BFC)stuff which I really love and will never sell but since the revival he released one record after the other and all are very mediocre and sometimes even crap, I haven't bought one of them. Omar S is not my taste neither but that's again personal. But there are always exceptions off course like Duplex his album on Clone a couple of years ago which was really nice. Another thing is that a lot of detroit was very slow and more for listening pleasure back in the days, if you've ever mixed BFC - Evolution you'll notice that there are only a few records that you can mix with that one because it's too slow, but that's just the point: it had soul and was made to sound good, the new skool detroit is mostly very "dj-friendly" and even loopy just because it would work on the floor which results in standard releases that are nothing more than dj tools, a good example is Kirk Degorgio, his old stuff is brilliant, but his new stuff is really mediocre and very dancefloor friendly, even loopy ---> makkelijk verteerbaar, can't say it in English.

@mcr that wasnt to your post, sorry! just a general comment, and the black thing i meant as mainly its cheesey european disco music here, i'm just joking. i am definitley NOT saying your musical tastes are race related

@maiovvi i am english

haha that wallet thing is a strong issue for me too, and the reason why I'm not up-to-date anymore on recent releases. Just too much digging into other stuff, but as said my heart will always remain in detroit. 
I think that's the reason why I recently have the wish that clone would just dump all labels and genre's they into one crate at their shop, so I'd just buy whatever genre falls into my hand's at the day, since there's waaaaay too much good records anyway.

It's the same here, more or less, when I started collecting records I started with techno and chill out stuff, but mainly techno and even when my taste has evolved I will always cherish those records. I love the old stuff on Peacefrog, GPR or A.R.T., there's great stuff in there. And the wallet thing, well yeah, that too 

@ Zubeldia: did you check stuff like BFC - Evolution or early Kirk Degorgio? You might change your mind 

I'll be quiet then

surely saying i dont like the pads / lushness/ deepness / of detroit, then you are focusing on style, and then by saying im just a sucker for 707s and 303s or whatever, then that is just style too.
im not trying to start arguments, but that seems really really weird to buy every bunker record out, but hate the sound of new detroit stuff. i'm not criticising you for it, but why does one set of cliche sound appeal so much and another, which is not so far away in style has such a contrasting effect on you. [and plus i would say that you should avoid the cliches anyway]
its like saying, i dont like house music, unless its chicago house with a 303 and 707, well then either you dont like house or you dont like music, you like sounds.
and the criticism of omar s,"apparently its just random sequences"  you all bought mono-polys album didnt you?
(no offence mono )

so i still think its about style

edit : in which case there are too numerous different sounds and styles from detroit right now too ignore.
so you should all start listening if youre not already
especially zubeldia

you're right about that danielle, it's a free world..

just expressing my feelings.. in this topic
