| azteckid Registered User | Fergie plays funky techno... I don't actually know how long this interview has been up??? And I find most of the interviews on ITM to be mainly bio's of Dj/Producers, but I found this article to be rather interesting... |

| NTrance ITM Contributor  | Whilst I will admit to not being an expert in the ways of different DJing styles, it strikes me that Fergie is not a Techno DJ, he just plays Techno records. |

| hotdogpete Registered User  | That prob comes down to 3 decks verses 2 . Hawtin and sims will pump out more tracks on 3. What goes around comes around , it is the universal law of averages and applies to all things............ |

| submission Registered User | fergie's been playin techno for years , his show on radio one when i was over in london was 95 % techno and has a lot of top tech guests on it so it aint no case of he's just "found" techno at all!!! |

Have ya read the article??? No-one is dissing him here... NTrance has said he has a disc where he plays 13 - 14 trax... If anyone was playing that amount of trax as a 'mix cd' ya have to ask the question of what else was he doin??? Fergies no messiah to the genre, and nobodies dissing fergie, its just a interesting article of his transition...  |

| FATAL DOSE Registered User | and for the record i used to play hard trance before it got those cheesy baselines, then i found techno aaaahhhhhhhh thats better..... i guess thats why i was a little defencive |
| 20 Feb 2004, 9:57pm | #21 |
| NTrance ITM Contributor | Yeah but you have to admit FD that with every genre not every DJ who plays it does it well, there is a lot of crap Techno around as well as lots of good stuff. |

You are kidding when you talk about the good techno scene in Thailand, aren't you? Did you think that no one else here had been there and could call your bluff? I'm interested to hear what club exactly wanted to fed ex your box. I know Thailand and Bangkok very well (I've spent nearly a year there in the past 3 or 4).

He does play techno, and that's a start, but he's certainly no special DJ by any means. He'll play 11 tracks in an hour with boring cross fade mixes. Any DJ worthwhile will throw down around 20-25 and keep it interesting. But all in all, it's good to get another techno convert.

| FATAL DOSE Registered User | yeah mate out of the thousands of people on here i think im the only one to goto thailand nice one! both narcissus and q club both where playing techno so were some small clubs in phuket, maybe i made it sound bigger than it was, dance music in general was huge over there. |

I assume you're talking about Q-Bar? (Soi 11, Sukumvit Rd). I've never heard of Q Club before. Is this the promoter that offered to fly over your records? As someone who had DJed multiple times in Thailand, I can assure you that there's no techno scene to speak of there. I really wish there was. Places like KL and Singapore have the best scenes in South East Asia. A heap of Melbourne techno DJs have travelled over there recently for shows.
