Anyone out there going to be playing either hard or minimal techno as I would love to have the chance to hear you play

by **Sensei** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 5:44 pm

Techno? Please tell me that you're not serious! Dude... Nobody, and I mean nobody, plays that new-fangled computerized stuff out there anymore. Now the kids are all about Tuvan throat singing.

You canâ€™t throw a grenade without taking out half a dozen DJs. Every flavor of electronica you can imagine is represented along with rock, live jazz, Blues, classical, Big band, folk, drum circles and sounds no one can identify.

Feel free to sing at the top of your lungs if you wish,... just donâ€™t do it by my tent Mâ€™kay,.....

Don't let Zule fool ya.... You should see him rip vinyl.............

by **Sensei** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 11:18 pm

Yeah, but Zule spins happy hardcore at about 190 beats per minute, minimum!

Makes for a great sunrise show.

The real question is - who ISN'T gonna be doing that?

by **DaddyMassive** » Thu May 01, 2008 4:06 am

Me!
I'm gonna funk you long and I'm gonna funk you hard.
Then I'm gonna play hip-hop and probably get boo'ed.

Sensei, Zule, Cap'n...ain't it the truth!!!

Techno puts me to sleep.
Just thinking about it and my eyes slowly close.

by **Simon of the Playa** » Fri May 02, 2008 7:07 am

I fucking LOVE happy hardcore, and i'm not ashamed to admit it...

granted, it's music for 12 year olds on ritalin, and 190 bpm is as fast as you can humanly pogo due to gravity, but i still NEED the thumpy thumpy to settle my mind....

ok.....i'm a 12 year old on ritalin, and simon is a helluva sock puppet...

what was i saying?....oh yeah, LETS GO SWIMMING!

.......A.D.D. it's not just a disease, it's a lifestyle.......

Won't get booed by me! We're gonna have Hip Hop every night, independent labels only of course! Camp Wannaburn loves it all.

Are some of the bigger DJ names confirmed already? I'm an Amsterdam / Utrecht (The Netherlands) based Minimal Techno DJ and ALSO hope to play at Burning Man, but besides that I want to party at Techno Raves and see some professional international DJ's...

by **ygmir** » Sun Mar 01, 2009 3:32 pm

the theme is "evolution", and, as such, there will be no Techno Raves or such. They will be replaced by bones and hollow logs.......didgeridoo will be cutting edge, in limited venues.........

by **Simon of the Playa** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 8:14 am

"professional international Dj's"

try Elko, the Red Lion Inn. Room #37. Knock twice.

by **Ugly Dougly** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 10:26 am

Live electronic music or recorded?
Is there a difference?

by **pinemom** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 1:05 pm

by **wesdex** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 1:13 pm

Yes.

While doing a live set the music will be improvised. The arrangement of the tracks can be chanced and the samples can be edited.

Just ask everyone on the playa where you can find the Techno Viking. He can show you all the hottest techno spots.

A good place to start is www.opulenttemple.org. They usually post their schedule a few weeks ahead of the Burn.

by **Yahorse** » Wed Jun 10, 2009 6:03 am

I will be playing hard techno such as dj rush etc until im set on fire by an angry mob.

PM me for details.

by **Simon of the Playa** » Wed Jun 10, 2009 6:04 am

i would say go to Root Society, but we've changed course, and are only doing all polka all the time...

we will have a break-polka set, and a few two-step polka artists as well as a super hot mash-up polka guy who will remain a mystery until he rips the night up.

that was a clue.

anyway, we've got alpfenflugels, flugelhorners, hornyflugels, and just plain flugelflugels for your delight and dancing.

and beer and sausages.

by **AntiM** » Wed Jun 10, 2009 8:10 am

... and Weird Al?

try to find out more about "wolf and lamb" they have brought out minimal techno to the playa a couple of times now. dont know if they will be back this year though.

as for hard techno - what? ala BEN SIMS, perhaps??- you will NOT find any quality techno on the playa, most camps have commercial dj's ala carl cox, tiesto, oakenfold, or unknown names who play those former mentioned styles and playlists, and the like. especially the bigger camps seem based on commercial clubs like pacha, crowbar and such. for some reason, "big" in america always means "commercial appeal", and "commercial appeal" in turn means 99 out of 100 times "loss of quality and experimentation". it is very sad that a community so creative as most burners are has not very much taste for the exploration of underground beats.

by **Simon of the Playa** » Sat Jun 13, 2009 7:16 pm

how about some nice throbbing gristle.

or at least some tasty ulf's?
