I've been listening to techno (not EDM in general, Techno) since the 90s. It's definitely my favorite music for deep work; something about the tight repetitive loops is just perfect for concentration. Since the pandemic started I've been listening to techno mixes almost constantly in order to mask the noise from everyone else in my house. Initially, I found it difficult to find decent mixes since Techno has become a…
Funny that the Techno scene in Frankfurt is pretty much gone.

From there on you can follow an guest DJs who you like the style off.

These kind of rants have gone really old for me, like the person is stuck in 2009 at the golden age of Pitchfork/Vice/Hipster blogs... music elitism/criticism.
You know what annoys me 1000x more than elitism? People who are elitist about not being elitist. This is just some guys opinions on music, let him talk about them, you don't have to agree.
I for one did not know it's roots took place back in the 70s and from the black community.
These days when I look at techno artists and their raving followers, its prodimently white. I have since taken active steps to seek out the lesser know black artists to support.

You forgot to quote the "best" bit a few paragraphs later : >It's important to first explain the horrible template that ruined Trance music. Somehow a musical artform that devoted itself to hypnotic rhythms and spacey soundscapes became, inside of a decade, a mass produced assembly line McProduct for middle class Europeans (pejoratively known as Trancecrackers because they're white. Terribly, tragically, sunblindingl…
> This was the era when in the US Eminem had lines like "nobody listens to techno" That was a diss line about Moby, a "techno" artist who achieved mainstream US popularity around that time. Eminem wasn't trying to accurately depict the state of electronic music in the US, he was being salty.
