Nice music, but most of all: interesting, short interview right here. David said something important about the commercial side of Techno music. Here, in Poland, most of the young people think that Hands-up or Dance artists represent Techno music, that's of course straight bullshit. Well, like my friend once said (he is into Hands-up much, but he knows the variety of styles), if we played some whatever-style-of-Techno track to these people, they wouldn't be able to recognize what's happening to them.

Both aspects (music & chat) result a +.

What hurts me most though is that we - fans of the good sounds - are discriminated because of these childish kids who play their crappy music via mobile on full volume in public transport. The 'educated & stuck-up', who are oriented only on rock, pop music and something similar (in fact, isn't Metallica a bit commercial? ), only if this kid plays his HUP / DNC music, they say: stop that Techno...
And most of the people, according to these example, if I say I like listening to Techno music (to OUR Techno music), they say 'whaaat? stop with that shit...' and I have no time or willingness to explain what is their problem. I see myself as an educated guy, and I think I deserve listening that kind of sounds, which I really love.
You know, it's nice to know people with the same music interests

what u mean hawker?

respect hawker, everything you said is 100% correct

I mean the situation of Polish all-non commercial electronic dance music listeners is pretty hard, because of this Hands-up / Dance listening kids (who think that's Techno) who give bad example to the people, and then all of the good music listeners (us) are bashed for listening what they love by all of the other people.
But I think our situation is getting better, lots of good abroad events have their editions here. And in the last sentence in previous post I said I like to speak with people who know exactly which style they like listening to

Quite the same story in belgium, if I listen to some hardcore or even industrial, people tell me to fuck off with my crap music, someone once told me to stop playing my "jumpstyle" when I actually was playing Void Settler - Nightfall Deceit (Rude Awakening Remix) which is far from jumpstyle, every harddance style here is considered to be jumpstyle because of the hype few years ago, all those kids who don't know any better than commercial electro/house should shut their mouths next time they try make a huge impression with just making fun of some other style.

yes i disslike the styles in belgium
like jumpstyle tekstyle ......

keep it underground !!!!

if anyone on the Polish street played a Rude Awakening's track for example, I would fckin' kiss'em, no matter a male or a female not these hippy sounds...
I see I'm not alone with my problem then.
