Notes on Breakcore....Blixaboy/Akkolyte/Vorvadoss at The lounge tonight!!!!!!12/03/08

Some guy decided to drop a comment about British electronic music being the end all be all and IDM is just sad Americans that can not pull off what the British do. What the fuck is that???????? You can tell the true poseurs by how much emphasis they put on the pissing match. Us vs. them? who made this sound first? Who has more obscure influences? WHO THE FUCK CARES???????????

The Brits got good shit. There is no denying that, but as much as I love british electronic music I still see more roots in Germany. Stockhausen, Can, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Krautrock in general, german techno(minimal and otherwise), Einsturzende Neubaten,DAF...etc. These are not small figures in the evolution of electronic music. If the guy is gona play the pissing match game he really may be out of his league on this one. At the end of the day it really does not matter. A lot of great music comes from everywhere. I have heard shit made on a gameboy that had more soul than over produced slick brit shit any day of the week. It's the man(or woman) not the gear.

It's all pretty much bullshit. The problem with most knowledgeable music collector scum is they care more about things that have very little to do with the actual music. I am a music geek to the extreme, but I steer clear of the music snobbery. I like what gets me off and that happens to be a lot of stuff. An adventurous music palette does not necessarily mean one has an obligation to music elitist. People like what they like. That is different for everyone. That being said...snifff.....I want to post something that gets me off. A wonderful documentary on The Breakcore scene called Notes on breakcore. It's a few years old, but not enough folks know about this stuff. It's truly electronic music for hardcore fans. I am playing a gig with Vorvadoss and Akkolyte tonite at The Lounge. I am gonna play a lot of Breakcore and Digital hardcore. All loud, fast, pissed off electronic music.

enjoy the movie
