Paresh Thakker - Templar Knight of Techno
"Paresh Thakker loves Techno!"
Hi there, my name is Paresh Thakker and I am a techno fiend this is my personal blog that fiendishly talks about all things Techno.
Let’s start with defining the rules of engagement:
Techno is amalgamation of weird and wonderful noises coerced into a four-four beat... let me phonetically demonstrate:
Boom-tit, Boom-tit, Boom-tit, Boom-tit, Boom-tit, Boom-tit, Boom-tit, Boom-tit,
Boom-tit, Boom-tit, Boom-tit, Boom-tit, Boom-tit, Boom-tit, Boom-tit, bu-bu-Boom-tit etc...
Were ‘Boom’ is a phat bass drum and ‘tit’ is a dramatic crash or hi hat. This is the classic 16 bar configuration that all great tracks subscribe to. Layered over this you would want to hear some insane overtures such as...
Pitisssuuurrr wollop! and grrssurrp! :)
Techno is designed for fun and frolics and for shaking your derriere to which I have to say I love to do!
Top techno technicians... now this is open to debate but if you ask me in no particular order apart from the first, these are the modern day Templar knights of Techno:
Why on earth is Paresh Thakker blogging about techno you may ask well, I started out as a young whippersnapper in London, born with a set of Technic 1210s decks in hand. I started my DJ career playing psytrance - and over time my tastes have matured to more cultured minimal Techno. After spending a year in Buenos Aires my musical tastes cultivated into what they are now...MINIMAL... now i live in Mumbai and want to share my love!
Anyway this blog is only the beginning of a long journey epic journey into Techno....
Bring it on!
So to start it off here is a top top track one of my favs from Extrawelt (Soopertrack):
This moody bugger kicks! ENJOY!
