RE: techstep for x
yeah, back in 96-97 160 was fast! I was just having this conversation with someone. About the death of ambient and chill-out trax. After jungle became popular the tempo of everything started rising house has gone from 120 to 130 in the last few years, trance is between 140 and 150 nowadays, it used to come in around 135 just back in 98. I've heard GOA tracks at 155! (Astral Projection etc...) That's 4 on the floor!
So now, no one has time for a track that's say 110 or 115 BPM. Just not enough energy. It's a shame, really... Intelligent ambient music is why I started making dance music!
Oh well, it'll probably come around again.
