about

Business Techno: a term originally coined inadvertently from a (since deleted from the looks of things) Regal Facebook post in 2018. You know when you hear it.

Following in the footsteps of Lee Gamble and rkss in deconstructing 90's Jungle and commercial EDM respectively I attempt to go a similar route by attempting to rip apart the world of Business Techno. In practice it's me mingling a few samples from a bunch of "Techno" sample packs I found on Beatport (mostly).

"Suitcase Intro" is an unimaginative way to title the first track I know. You get what's on the tin with this one, a mischievous drone track that sets the tone for pretty much everything else.

"A truly unusual and unique product" takes its title from the blurb of one of the sample packs I brought; I use several techniques I won't go into detail about to make it fit with the title.

"The next generation is us, wake up and open your eyes" soundtracks the dystopian future where all the life and energy of Techno has been completely sucked dry by idiots in suits who insist they know what they're doing. A Business Techno Imperial March if you will.

"the most-cutting edge and foward-thinking techno" is a go at a straight Techno track (after all this is a Techno themed work) but complete with similar sound design to the tracks preceding it. After a few minutes of kick drums it shrugs towards the end and eventually grinds to a halt. You could shove it into your Techno set but I wouldn't personally recommend it.

"BIG ROOM FUNCTIONAL BUSINESS AMBIENT YOU LOVE TO SEE IT", the sublime track of the bunch, is an attempt at something called a "no kick roller" but in practice I'll say the effect is something along the lines of Ambient Techno instead, or Trance even. As for the title of the track - I'll just link to the tweet that inspired it twitter.com/sam_binga/status/1186786748334034944?s=20.

"Suitcase Outro" consists of nothing more than parts of the intro timestretched with effects slapped on because I ran out of ideas lol.

Deconstructed Business Techno is the future. This is 100% fact.

released January 3, 2020

Produced with Ableton Live on an Apple Mac throughout November 2019.

Shoutouts to some guys named Paul and Robert Henke for their sound stretching and granulating programs respectively. This mini album would not have been possible without them.

No Techno artists were harmed in the making of this mini album I swear.
