Producing Berghain techno?

I think also the records they listened to as they were growing up.

Can hear a lot of Claude Young, Steve Stoll, Early Landstrumm, Traktor / T+, Maurizio etc in their work.

The Souind of Berghain If I were to try and define it currently is essentially the sound of early NYC techno with extra white noise and that berlin style accentuated clap placed on the 1st and 3rd beat rather than the 2nd and fourth.

Obviously that's not the only sound there is, but from playing with a lot of those guys and hearing like this new horizontal ground material etc, it's definately a major influence right now. I think also people are moving back to the 909 for kicks and hats.

It's also a lot slower, something I approve of most definately, you tend to get a lot more definition on the bass and the records sound much heavier when you slow em down a bit.

hehe, I'm not smear, but to respond to that - everything has it's place, the good thing about mixing is that you can speed it up or slow it down.

And if you like the harder , faster stuff, don't worry, there's loads of that about to 'surface'

I enjoy that.
I'd like to hear examples where you've done this. interesting technique!
