Fully agree, and hello from another dad here. There's no more stuff like Paps, Mumbo Jumbo, Double Dragon, Reefer Decree, Ticon, etc, and even the legendary Son Kite and Beat Bizzarre are not the same they've used to be in the heydays of the genre. I think the apogee was in the early 2000s, the early releases of Iboga Records.
I've switched to the [dub] techno scene a few years ago, and it looks like there's much more psychedelia and overall creative stuff going on over there now. Azu Tiwaline, Al Wootton, Deadbeat, Claudio PRC, Ntogn, Luigi Tozzi, Feral, and so on. Party goes on!
- nuc 3y agoDad #3 here, and I concur. Though more progressive and tribal than the others, Antix's "Lull" album epitomized the early '00s sound for me. Minilogue managed to keep the vibe alive a bit longer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgiL7lsIATA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgiL7lsIATA Lastly, yes, the techno scene does scratch that itch for atmosphere and psychedelia. I've been to a few techno parties and was surprised by the striking similarities to that '00s sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87y49RmWJeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87y49RmWJeg
