OK so I was talking to a friend of a friend who apparently DJ's a lot around the world. He listened to some of my stuff and asked me for some straight techno, actually he asked for something good, something I have never done.
Have been more into breakbeat growing up I have no idea what 'techno' is meant to sound like to people who are into 'techno' and I was wondering whether I am on the right path with this sort of junk?
Just two small bits, maybe a bit loud because I am trying to do this through boredom and laptop speakers at my girlfriends house and the bass might be a bit shite :P
bits.
I'll take it down if the sound is too bad until I get to hear it though headphones/proper speakers.

Sounds like the kind of music i did when i was 15 years old. I guess it's sort of techno, but it's not very good.

I haven't done anything in ages, I just cracked open the Cubase and started messing. I'm pretty bored with music making to be honest because I very rarely get the sound I am after. I guess it is a lack of knowledge, commitment and patience.
When I hear it properly I will no doubt agree.

you should go back to making the kind of music you did when you were fifteen, no offense.

Not to be off putting, but nothing about that track made me want to listen to it ever again. It's not bad enough for me to be interested in enough to hate it. So... It's not bad. But it's not good either, and that puts it in the big pool of mediocre shit that floats around on this god forsaken planet. Put some effort into it, man.
You made me pause my playing of "Tom Trauber'ts Blues (Four sheets to the winds in Copenhagen)" by Tom Waits, to play this, so i guess all odds were against you.
The only good thing i have to say about it, is that the beat changes in a way i didnt think it would... But come on. Please...
I'm sorry, but i guess you want an honest oppinion when you post your stuff.
I do remember that you posted some music that i quite liked once so please do that again!

Obviously my normal shit sounds like the two tracks on my MySpace but the people these so called 'techno' tracks will be for, when finished, didn't like that shit.

Yes... The myspace tracks are much much better. Actually worth my effort.
They actually seem to transmit some kind of emotion, while your "techno" just makes me cringe.
They seem to have an idea about them.
Music is all about creating a little universe for yourself, that you invite other people to be a part of. Like building a little castle made out of pillows as a child, that is a secure domain, that a select few can see.
"Dead of night" does this more successfully, but still. I want full tracks. No A&R guy will listen to your stuff and go "hey, those 1 minute demos were really promising, lets sign this guy!". Neither will i. All i can say, judged from the sounds you've uploaded right now is, yeah, it's kind of promising, but it might also be completely worthless.
Hate this statement, and prove me wrong. Make some music.
As i wrote in another post today, i wouldnt bother doing tough love, if i didnt think your music had some kind of promise.
I guess i'm the new IDM Simon Cowell
