Slow down!

ThirdMan

I've just been thinking about how much house/techno has slowed down in the past 6-7 years. Techno in particular, but even house feels slower in 'tone', even if there hasn't been a drastic change in BPM.

I love banging music at a festival, but by and large I've no interest in even slightly fast music anymore, and I used to live for it. I'd say it's because I'm getting older, but I bet there's people much older than me on this forum who love their techno, D&B, whatever.

Different strokes I guess.

What do you think?

As a rule, I generally don't like techno over about 132.

I found myself comfortably head-nodding at a smooth 110 BPM yesterday. Time for the pipe and slippers methinks.

I have to call it quits at 133.75bpm. Too rich for my blood after that…

You don't go to a club to nod your head comfortably though do you?

haven't listened to either house or techno in i don't know how long at this stage, think the minimal scene ruined techno (for me anyway), prefer bangin techno and house to some of the stuff bein churned out these days, sounds very bland and lacking in energy compared with a few years ago. drum n bass & j-tek are really the only forms of new music i still love, but of course, every1 to their own.

Anything under 132 aint techno;)

BTW, the reason for the slowdown is that the amphetamines have been replaced with Ketamine.

Yeah, people doing Ket is wrecking nights out, especially the afterparty culture. Afterparties these days are 90% full of people sitting in the corner on ket.

Since when did partying after being out become 'a culture' in itself? I thought life was one big endless party when your in your 20's, was when i was anyway, the culture was partying all the time wherever.

Depends on what your after really, some great hallucinogenic properties, but i would stick with the LSD over it all right.

Sure ive been in plenty a party, or after party, having consumed a few LSD and all you do is trip your nut off, different strokes for different folks.

Got lost in a very deep k hole one night, complete out of body experiences, wild halluciantions and some rather unpleasant disassociative effects,not to mention the anesthetic effects coming down, rather like a visit to the dentist but with the numbing feeling all over slowly turning to pins and needles

White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember, what the dormouse said;
"Keep YOUR HEAD,
Keep your head"

The last two lines of that song are 'Feed your head' not 'Keep your head'. Smoking Gere told me one night when we were sitting in the corner…

I remember gettin into an awful ket mess years back. A buddy gave me 2 yokes, smiley faces IIRC, which i promptly swallowed and then he said "Now only take half at a time, they're full of K". Ooops. Someone told me afterwards that swallowing it when you have alcohol in yer belly increases the sedative effect of both. All i know is i spent half an hour sitting in a doorway opposite the GPO in Galway unable to lift my head for fear of the spins. When i finally got together enough to get a taxi the bastard driver wouldn't slow down across speed bumps and roundabouts and I ended up projectile vomiting across the back of his seat and all down his shirt. He fired me headfirst out of the cab and punched me for good luck and drove off without taking my money. Didn't feel the punch thanks to the ket I felt much better after the puke too and then i realised I was literally straight across the road from the house. Result!!! And I never touched Ketamine again

old gregg

I reckon if you maintain a healthy interest in both techno and death metal then you'll never want the bpm to slow down

re White Rabbit, check out the older version Grace Slick did with the Great Society for something more trippy/sloppy/noodlingy

the Airplane version is the biz though.

But we use them ironically, like the hipsters…

I awoke one morning after a night of debauchery to be told what I got up to that previous night. Seemingly I had spent the night rolling imaginary joints and getting very annoyed when people wouldn't accept them off me. I then proceeded to try and break into my flatmate's wardrobe where I was going to find Narnia until they distracted me with a multi-plug that I tried to play with like a Rubik's Cube before I passed out…

Grreat days!

Only tried ket for the first time 3 weeks ago. Nasty nasty stuff, worse experience than Salvia which I didn't think possible :mad:

ket turns me into a total retart, i try to avoid it like the plague, but unfortunately most of the crap pills ive taken over the last few years seem to be laced with it

old gregg

Out of interest, what is there to recommend ket? I've tried most things (back in the day) but have yet to hear of a single reason why ket is worth a spin round the block.

Like if someone said 'I behaved like a total arsehole but kept cumming for hours' then maybe

In my opinion, nothing at all...it's a **** drug.

The most annoying thing about it is it's quite a strong dissociative, but people will take it in very public/social occassions, like gigs or house parties...and then wander around the place, completely out of it, desperately trying to fight through it and talk to someone.

Getting trapped in a chat with a Ket head is pretty much like being stuck talking to a narcissistic, self obsessed moron with an IQ of 70.
