Going through his discography.
RIP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TojYOMKP5kwmy favourite of his. legendary.
>>132026372<3
post your favorite Juan Aktins track.I'll start :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5kKUtTX0yU
>>132023663Kill yourself you retarded faggot.
>>132025254>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNz01ty-kTQthis is boring and primitive
>>132026217>Long live TECHNO
>>132030249>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TojYOMKP5kwthis isn't terrible, but it sounds like an incomplete track with some random shit tossed in here and there to give the illusion of fullness of craft
>>132031715It was released in 1985, mate.
>>132031759"This Charming Man" was released in 1984 and sounds more innovative than the majority of rock released in the 4 decades since.
>>132031310https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaM8sTM1e9w
>>132031724remember when men's fashion was cool for like a split epoch hahaha
>>132031715just say you don't understand funk
>>132031812So, are you arguing that the foundational techno track is not innovative?
>>132031839>a split epochsar
>>132031860I do understand funkthat shit is not funk
>>132031891I'm saying "the foundational techno track" has aged terribly and now sounds skilllessly amateurish, in contrast.
>>132031839if we take "techno interests me" as an example, then honestly, it does not feel that divorced from what's achievable today, and that's a bad thinghe's wearing non-skinny jeans with rolled up cuffs and a baggy bomber jacket; there's little distinctly early 2010s about that out of place in the 2020s
>>132032128Lots of contemporary shite out there that pales in comparison.
>>132032152in techno?I don't doubt it, as the genre is fundamentally nonplusbut others, like D&B? no
>>132032200go back to listening neurofarts and liquidshits for straight white teenage boys
>>132032200In the genre as a whole.
R.I.P. cybotron
>>132030249>>132031310>>132031832Unlistenable.This sounds like what a cartoon would use to mock eletronic music. This is what Deadmau5 accidentally makes by turning on his synth array with random settings still active from previous sessions.You can go to youtube and find hour long techno mixes posted 16 years ago with 20 views by a channel nammed " . " or something that are guaranteed to be more enjoyable.And don't try to use him making it 40 years ago as an excuse. Silver Apples was making better eletronica in the late 60s. The truth is nobody would be pretending to know who this was if it was a white guy.
>>132031739go back to shit like amelie lens, black madonna, post 2002 richie hawtin...>>13203181280's electro gonna sound like... 80's electro. what are you complaining about? its like ranting because a 70's dub record sounds like it or ranting for the sound of 50's rockabilly
>>132032467suno makes better tunes than joel tbqh
>>132032128and yet it's still more influential and relevant than you'll ever be
>>132032467and yet, whatever you consider good was probably directly influenced by Juan Atkins and other first wave Detroit producers
>>132031715I disagree, especially since retro electro/techno made a strong comeback for a while in the 2000s - and to some degree, it continues to this day.But even if you were objectively correct, it would make sense that very early electronic music would sound dated since it made use of technology that is objectively dated. Some of the early synths and drum machines are still widely used, but they're almost always supplemented and enhanced with new technology.
>>132033310One does not have to be a top chef to say that a dish is insipid.
>>132033313Yes he's definitely historically significant but that doesn't make it not boring
I never liked his music but even I can recognize he was a pioneer and influenced all my favorite artists.RIP Originator of Techno
