How come you guys have a house speaker but no techno speaker? Isn't Detroit's legacy just as valid as Chicago's?

I've got 2 trance speakers in my home so I dunno, maybe gotta pick a different genre

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You claim trance is superior, yet you live in a house. Curious.

I live in A. STATE. OF. TRANCE.

And that state will wither away once we've achieved communism. If you deny this, you're nothing but a counter-revolutionary revisionist.

You can live in a commune of trance based on egalitarian free association, but you can't form a state.

I had heard rumors that they were planning to fold both the Synthwave Speaker and Darksynth Speaker roles into the Parliamentarian's portfolio

No clue, especially considering how bad House is compared to other types of electronic music.

It's not my favourite, and I don't really like much of the stuff from 1997 onwards, but there's plenty of great house, and Frankie Knuckles, Jesse Saunders et al were definitely pioneers.
