well, the only decent techno that i've heard in a while was at a planet e party at wmc about 3 years ago.

i gotta say, though it was pretty sick. not really soulful, per se, but banging in a non repetitive way...

i think what it is are thing s mahap derived from techno, like trance or the like.

I dont mind techno, but it's gotta have some vibe to it. It can't be a vibeless mantra for like 15 minutes, eveen if flawlwssly produced.

BT, for example is definetly on top of his game, but as i listen to it, my 'study' mode comes on and my 'feel' mode goes out...

it's gotta convey some kind of emotion, which is why house (and it's derivitives) is more of that catalyst...

as well as (certain) broken beat stuff. a la Jazzanova, Bugz in the Attic (some of their stuff), etc..
