Acid Techno or House from the UK
Gordon (more details in the following) is the one with not that much hair on his head like me :-)!)
Some Techno needed on a Friday
Today some old-school acid sounds from the UK - DJ Edge, never covered him yet. Enjoy the sounds, to me an early crossover of Acid and Techno (f we can call it crossover).
Listening to the following I would even call it another crossover Acid with House sounds - I miss the days when Techno was not separated between two many genres.
Today we have so many sub areas of electronic music and the black and white happenings in our society also arrived in music. I believe in the power of music - even I prefer some sounds more vs others I do not like fights between genres.
Hope it is only me, or do others have a similar feeling around music @steevc @andyjaypowell @ravenmus1c @slobberchops @ylich - I even can listen to country music :-)!?
This one has a nice bassline and gets even into Trance
In a nutshell DJ Edge and his own Edge label combines a great mix of Acid, Breakbeat, Hardcore, Hard Trance, House, Tech House & Techno - the guy behind is called Gordon Matthewman.
Gordon Matthewman is a multifaceted DJ, producer, and musician celebrated for his understated influence across the UK and Ibiza club scenes (he even played instruments for productions of Sade). He’s held regular resident DJ slots at notable venues such as Bora Bora in Ibiza and Kinky Malinki both in the UK and on the island. Over the past 15 years, he's gained a reputation as one of the most underrated figures in electronic music—highly respected by those who know his work, yet still flying under the mainstream radar.
DJ Edge aka Gordon Matthewman
Kannte ihn nicht so wirklich, nur seine Acid Techno / House Sachen auf dem eigenen Label. Er schafft wirklich unterschiedloche Style zu verbinden - ich liebe das Crossover - er hat sogar die Posaune für Sade mal gespielt :-).
Paar Details zu dem jungen Mann, der viel zu unbekannt ist ob seiner Werke! Gordon Matthewman, der unter dem Künstlernamen Gordon Edge auftritt, ist ein vielseitiger DJ, Produzent und Musiker, der in den Club-Szenen des Vereinigten Königreichs und Ibizas als unterschätzte Größe gilt. Er ist Resident-DJ in bekannten Clubs wie Bora Bora in Ibiza und Kinky Malinki – sowohl im UK als auch auf der Insel. In den letzten 15 Jahren hat sich Gordon als einer der am meisten unterbewerteten Akteure der elektronischen Musik etabliert – bei Kennern sehr geschätzt, aber noch relativ unbekannt in der breiten Öffentlichkeit .
I can find stuff to like in many genres. I listen to BBC 6Music who play a wide variety and that gets me into new stuff. I'm just really into prog at the moment and that is not on the radio so much. Luckily there are other sources.
Prog is not what I usually listen - any links you can recommend?
It's a varied genre. I could go back to the classics such as Yes and Genesis, but here are a couple of more recent examples by bands I've seen live a few times.
Cool thanks - I love Yes and Genesis - did not see them as prog (progressive rock you mean I see - this is ok :-)!)
Definitions of genres can vary, but I see prog as having long, complex songs. Musicians like to experiment.
True, remember concept album stuff by e.g. Genesis - think that does not exist anymore these days
Actually it does, but may not get the airplay these days. Steven Wilson just did an album with just 2 tracks about space. He can sell out big venues. Dream Theater do heavy prog. Some amazing musicians out there.
cool, so listening to Steve W then :-)
Interesting artist again! @uwelang, I am curious about your answer if I ask you why techno or other electronice music is your favourite style?
Long story - i cam from AOR rock such as Foreigner, Journey - then Metaal such as Metallica (the early ones) as I loved rock, beats - i then came across electronic music mainly by Kraftwerk and such - different sound, no focus on text. I got thrilled by the sound and still love the pumping bass (relaxes me) - I prefer Techno without anyone singing - Techno is vibe to me, I do not wanna listen to thoughtful stories - i just wanna dance and move to this.
I like well-thought content but not in music - I like the beats - this made me a DJ also for Techno.
However I still love my Rock/Metal stuff a lot but Techno / Trance / even House is for me important, it relaxes and motivates me. Hard to explain to someone with different taste though (they call me crazy) - I appreciate any genre - HipHop for example is a sound that is nt linked to my stomach kind of - there are some cool projects but i need a certain volume of beats per minutes with bass.
Nice explanation.
That already is great! And yes, the bass ... 😊
