Berghain Techno?

[LanceBlaise]

I generally keep my techno dark, dubby, hard, and sometimes deep... just depends on where I am playing as to which direction I go... the techno genre is very wide.

Interesting point Lance - if you played @ Bergain - would it not be 'Lance @ Berghain', rather than Berghain Techno? I think the club itself has much to do with having moulded the genre. There's a consistent thread through their mixed compilation series, much like say Watergate, or Panorama Bar. As talented as Klock, Dettmann & Faki et al are, it becomes 'predictable'.

I've got two podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis, CLR and Lance's . Interestingly enough I don't play a whole lot of straight up techno as I tend to swing to the overly moody deep tech house stuff. Is there a more specific genre name for that? Techno was my first love though and holds a special place in my heart and this berghain sound is nice.

In saying that, however, they seem to throw back to a lot of schranz and stuff in their non-berghain sets, its still very heavy but its almost like they play 'to berghain' and when they play other places their real personality shines through! I would agree with the club's 'sound' almost being predictable, but when you take the people who are influential on the sound out of that location their personal style shows more and makes it extremely interesting!

I would say that how I would play there would totally fit their sound...

In my opinion Chris the line between Tech House and Techno often blurrs, and much of what creeps into the Techno and Tech House genres on Beatport for example could often be inter-changed. As loathe as we all are for yet another (sub) genre, the deeper, moody (I call it 'muddier') side of Tech House probably does need a new name.

I'm finding myself starting off a lot of my sets with slow paced, dubby and not really the kick heavy/driving techno but interchanging it with some deeper tech house (like some of the deeper stuff from the bass music thread), it actually can work really well if you eq correctly!
