As I am writing this, I realize I might come off as ignorant or disrespectful, but I am just genuinely curios.
Among other genres, I like techno and listen to it often. Although I am am more into melodic, dubby techno, or sometimes techno-house.
Also, I am very fresh to the music creation, this is a new hobby for me (and I seem to be sticking to it, btw!). So I am definitely ignorant about many aspects of it. And I am willing to be corrected, and to learn.
A couple of days ago, I saw a post on Instagram from a very big techno scene account. They have a series where they introduce music producers, tell a bit about them, etc. And share their music.
I went and listened to the linked track. Itās leaning into the minimal techno from 00ās territory.
What struck me was that it was quite simpleā¦ Not in the āgenius simplicityā way - just simple and somehow boring even. I saw people make similar techno in Youtube tutorials in half an hour to teach general concepts.
I donāt want to be mean to that person (and so I am not going to share the track here), and donāt mean to downplay their talent. I seriously donāt.
I am just confused, because they seem to be relatively famous (play in big clubs across Europe, have 25k monthly listeners on Spotify etc), and the comment section on that Instagram post was full of excited comments. Hundreds of them.
So it must be me. What am I missing?
