Who are the local (to the MD/DC/Va area) techno DJs?

[Kuro]

I think most of the regular posters in here are techno DJs, but who else around the area do you guys know of who spins techno?

[EL Nemo]

of the ones i know who spin techno in the area

Daedau (aka Dave Dawson)
DJ Rouz
Tim
Sinestro
Nick N
Beema
Milo

I m sure i m missing some people

I don t think any of us actively spin out, besides Sinestro maybe

[Kier 0ne]

There also was the Metrotechno Crew. But they all moved away, except me. I like to think they will stop by from time to time but no, they are mostly in Europe now. Bob and Greg in Japan.

[Kier 0ne]

[DNAgirl]

Umm....that doesn't make me feel better.

[Kuro]

I didn't mean "it's ok cuz you suck cuz you look good". You don't suck.

[Kuro]

Edan spins techno. Simon will from time to time (like tonight). Who else?

[the sex molesters]

i spin a bit of minimal techno, hard techno, and a lot of retrotechno, if that counts. i'd spin a lot more of it if i had the records, but i just don't. maybe that'll change sometime in the future. :shrug:

[DNAgirl]

Jamie Petro (noetic) does, he's not local though :sadblue:

but I like his taste.

[technoticau]

[nOdoze]

Tzeech & Kosta

I hate to ask this question, but. What exactly is retrotechno. :)

[EL Nemo]

80 s synth pop, i don t think it s techno at all really, not to me anyway, it s more in a category of it s own, definitely wouldn t classify it as techno though

[Kier 0ne]

Word. not techno. nononononononon.

;)

[matt m.]

i play lots of techno along with some good house and breakbeats

[EL Nemo]

house and breakbeats are not good.....j/k I am in a very bashing mood today lol

[Paxus]

I spin me some techno in bmore. Wish i spun it out more, but
that'll change. : ) -&rew

[jediprince8007]

Sinestro is good

[scratchapella]

And there's the dudes from the once.twice festival - Pneuma, Jason, and some other dude I don't know.

i think sean was from philly. . . unless you're talking about richard chartier. . . more experimental than techno i think. . .but he did open for magda/richie last summer :D

what happened to elkay/lindsay?

[scratchapella]

oh! and ladyplastic/dina! :lessthanthree:

[Kier 0ne]

Apparently Ladyplastic is spinning this friday at our new Par-tay. in Glover park.

See the unbuzz events for more info.

thats all I know..

[neuroticinsight]

i play minimal techno and deep electro. also a bit of german techno (not super banging though).
and kompakt kompakt kompakt!!!

[rockyblue]

moved. the entire Metrotechno crew split town.

[Kier 0ne]

Not exactly all of them, I am still here. I came up with the name for the crew, that constitutes something. :)

[beema]

thanks for the mention Nemo :)

let's see 'ere...
are any of you all up for formalizing ourselves as some kind of diabolical techno collective? http://www.buzzlife.com/forums/images/icons/spliff.gif

It's a shame those metrotechno guys moved off, but I guess going to Europe is the only way you'd truely get appreciated as a techno DJ (or South america).


btw, Marco Bailey - Modulo (David Caretta Remix) = my tune of the month (or couple weeks) http://www.buzzlife.com/forums/images/icons/hail.gif

[Tim Moore]

Don't forget Hi Octane and his crew! He's been pushing techno here for years. Has brought in more high-quality techno talent for his Kick Drum Productions parties than anyone else in the last five years.

[EL Nemo]

are him and his crew still around??? i was wondering what ever happened to them, i remember once when they brought mike dearborn, ubnfortunately i missed it

[Tim Moore]

Yeah, I think they just did something on Saturday, but unfortunately I had to miss it. I still see him around whenever there's techno in town too.

[punkassmark]

Jamie Petro (noetic) does, he's not local though :sadblue:

but I like his taste.
same here....

He & Bryan have influence my tastes in da Tekno...

[DNAgirl]

[DNAgirl]

Yeah, Jami and Zentz are having a party at Relative Theory record store in Norfolk this Saturday. I don't think I can make it.

I'd PM Noetic if I were you.

I think the website for his store is www.relativetheory.com (http://www.relativetheory.com)

[EL Nemo]

[punkassmark]

Nice :D

yup.....

I'm pretty much a fixture in that store...

[DNAgirl]

Ooops :D

[djreplicant]

what happened to elkay/lindsay?

Elkay is in England, driving on the wrong side of the road with the rest of us.

Are you telling me that with alll of the Computer nerds on this board, you can't figure out an interactive way to get us to play online??

I'm doing my first live pa in 10 days, but it's not going to be techno. Well, not what most people know me for atleast. This set will be some fucked up voodoo shit with conga drums and shit. I can't explain, you guys just need to see the venue. Maybe we'll take footage.

Watashi no ketsu tabette!

www.djsinestro.com

[nickn]

[empath]

I think most of the regular posters in here are techno DJs, but who else around the area do you guys know of who spins techno?
Believe it or not, I'm going to drop quite a bit of techno on the 25th.

[djtetreault]

I'm usually too busy with my job to do music though :( I'd love to play out some where :)

[deejayclutch]

[elusivsoundz]

[Scorched Earth]

I am moving to NVA in a couple of week and I spin techno as well. Mostly hard roaring techno on 3 decks and EFX...looking forward to meeting some of you techno peeps when I am down there! :D

[TZEECH]

Don't forget the BMORE TECHNO TERROR TZEECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

T.W.O. rulez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kier 0ne]

Do you actually spin techno,
or do you spin a mix of breaks, trance aetc. and techno.

Just because, if its not all techno. Im sorry, but...
it isnt techno

Just like all good dj's, you have to keep the crowd into what you do, especially in BMORE and DC. If i could play all TECHNO i would but then i wouldn't get many gigs. Iplay it all and make it work!!!!

TZEECH

[Kier 0ne]

Well, if thats what you call techno that is what you call it. THough you will certainly be in disagreement with (maybe not) professional djs, but people who know the difference.

ok, how would you lable JOSH WINK?
IS he house, tech-house, min techno?
you just can't put him in one category because he spins all form music.
What about Sinestro? He does the same.
The same goes with Richie Hawtin.
I'm a Techno dj that plays all forms of techno, acid, hard trance, hard electro breaks, and everything around that is hard.


TZEECH

[Kier 0ne]

Ok, there you have some special situations. Wink has never been (all techno) his own productions aren even so).

Sinestro (I dont know) probably the same style as you. But, if you acctually follow techno. then you will notice..

That people dont mix, Jungle/trance/techno/disco/house/rolling tones record/ bob marley etc. and call it techno.

it isnt done

[djrouz]

i don't mean to sound rude, but stop being so uptight

[TZEECH]

i don't mean to sound rude, but stop being so uptight
THANKYOU!!!!!

[Kier 0ne]

OK, FIne.

[Kier 0ne]

Sounds like you all are pretty lax on the issue. But techno isnt just about getting gigs and pleasing crowds. It is a music rich in artistic expression. Expression thats easily drowned out by anthemic synth lines, and amen breaks. Its subtile, Not unlike a fine wine. So it should be treated as so. Maybe im full of it, but anyway thats my 2 cents of clice's

dd

[djrouz]

i'm not as lax on the issue as i seem. i'm just saying that if somebody wants to call himself a "techno" dj and not really play techno then he can do that - but all of people that really know what techno is will be turned off and he'll lose respect from them.

do you think that if a techno dj plays 1 house track in his set that he's no longer a techno dj? maybe if 1/3 of his set isn't techno then he's definetly no longer strictly a techno dj but what about 1/30th of the set?

[Kier 0ne]

Hmm, I dont know. I dont even call myself a techno dj.

[Kier 0ne]

If you are a good techno DJ you can pull it off.

[Kier 0ne]

Im so over this, but.

THe main reason is.

Is lame when you are listening to a set and everything is going smoothe, nice tracks etc. and then all of a sudden... Boom "back once again its the renegade master!" its time to go back, waay back, into the rave cave. Sorry but, no thanks..

Or it gets trancy or something and that the same thing.

don't even own the record!!!!
i totaly agree, if you hear any of my mixes then you'll know it all fits in place and nothing like "renegade master" would evre pop up.

[Kier 0ne]

OK,

cool well. Im finished with my rant.

[beema]

there is a fairly new techno remix of that song out right now ya know....
