Help me understand techno

[Adzm00]

Industrial techno is resolutely not unfunky, nor is it excessively dark; the individual records might be, (see records on MDR vs. Marcel Dettmann sets for a good example) but in the mix its all about the grooves. The conception that harder industrial techno is soulless or lacks funk can only come from people who don't go to the parties and rely on stereotyped assumptions.

Disagree.

It depends entirely on the DJ.

Let's ignore for a minute any big named DJs, but the industrial sound is being copied by many smaller DJs because it is popular, it's just those DJs wouldn't know how to sneak in a bit of funk with this industrial stuff, so it just ends up being regurgitated industrial noise with a hard kick, nothing else.

There is too much of the sync a load of tracks on top of each other and think that works when it doesn't (imo), it's REALLY boring.

But then you have someone like Ben Sims, when he plays banging industrial sort of techno, it's still pretty good, not my favourite way for him to play but there is a marked difference between those who can and those who can't.
