That's not techno

There is a very small amount of techno present at Ultra.  It's mostly the super mainstream/shitty progressive house.  If only it was techno, that's a very different scene.

maybe you're right dude, I mean I'm not anti-techno, for example I've always enjoyed Infected Mushroom


btw, they got a live stream for ultra, DJ right now is awful and the people are loving it:  http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ultra-music-festival-2012


i'd rather be sitting on my couch.

Really.  Not even close.  They used to make psy-trance, now they make shitty dubstep from what I've heard.

This is techno

ya the people that regular these kinda of festies, playing these rad jams,are the ones you wanna check out

I will admit that's some pretty great techno you guys have been posting in this thread. Although, I don't really listen to techno unless I'm tripping on DXM, which I haven't done for a while. Or if I'm taking N2O, while tripping on hallucinogens. I've heard techno is great for MDMA, but I haven't done MDMA.. I've always told myself that MDMA, crack, and shooting heroin are the 3 drugs I won't try until I'm old and dying, or diagnosed with a deadly disease. I always knew in the back of my head that I would go way too crazy on those 3 drugs if I ever try them.


I'm about to smoke a bowl and spend a few minutes checking out the live stream for ultra. I'm interested in how the lightshow and laser effects look at night, and see if it's really worth 500 hundred bucks. It also might be interesting to see if there's any girls I know dancing on molly getting wild and naked, lol..it's a live stream so any thing is possible

Infected is awesome as they were ever.  army of mushrooms is fucking insane. 
I saw them at summerset last summer and OMG... I never thought that I would see them.  Since I was like 15 I have wanted to see them live-more than a decade ago. 
Its electrafying...  Totally kicked the headliners out of the water... pretty lights, big gigantic, umphrees mcgee, and even blew lotus out of the water...
takes a bit to start but check it:

At like 4 mins it gets progressivie but they rip it back to the darkness of psytrance instead of breaking in to a shitty dubstep drop...

It was in a hockey rink, like thousand people jammed in.  Thrity mins into the show, all but like 100 ppl left to see pretty lights.  It was awesome, almost it was almost empty.  It felt like I was IVign bass, literally felt like I was plugged into the shit from the back of my brain stem like in the matrix.  The dj on the left was tripping balls while controlling the visulizations, and on right was mixing the tunage.  The computer screen for the visuals was like 4ft by 3ft and clear, transparent touch screen.  I was mesmarized watching him do that shit. 
After we walked out to a see of 22,000 people and pretty lights tearing shit up.  It was awesome but 75% was not mixed live, sounded just like his sound cloud account...

I was there for that performance.  What a day that was for a first time festival in the middle of no where Wisconsin.  Bonobo, Lotus, Mat Zo, Infected Mushroom, and Pretty Lights all in a row.

Now that does sound awesome, plus someone mentioned that jam bands were there also. Throw some guitar into mix and I'm pretty happy, I'm not that hard to satisfy when it comes to music, if I've got the right buzz going on. It just can't be terribly obnoxious shit. Anyways that festie you guys are talking bout does sound like it was cool, funny you guys were both there and realizing it now on the shroomery over 10 years later.  Bet the tickets weren't $500 like with ulra, and it sounds much better. Did I mention Ultra  doesn't even have camping? Which is another thing I forgot to mention on my list of pet peeves with Ultra, I'm always afraid the road is gunna be a splatter fest with all those kids drivin home after a festival, especially one where copious amounts of drugs are required for the music to sound impressive. Since I'm being king crankey about all this, I'll mention one positive thing, I found out Dangermau5 was gunna be at Ultra, not that I'm very much into Dangermau5, but I did always think it would be cool to trip out on the spectacle of a visual performance that dude puts on. Still not worth anywhere near 500 bucks and that many hours of my time for the festival.


plus im pretty contet with what im already doing

The traffic's not that bad unless you are going somewhere that's right next to the outdoor amphitheater. They usually do the heat games right next to where they are doing ultra, so people who live right there have become accustomed to the traffic.

You HAVE to try MDMA at least once in your life.  It is an experience that I think everyone should have.

limentroll said:

Just saying, if you can find a way in to just see Fatboy Slim I bet you would enjoy it.

---

yeah it sounds like it would be cool to see him also. still only a couple good DJs for the whole festival doesn't soudn worth it. but what's this about "find a way in", perhaps this festival can be crashed? meh, doesn't sound worth the risk, perhaps i would consider taking that risk it if the lineup was more style. i remember at wanee one year a lot of people were gathering snipped off pieces of the wrist bands from the trash cans, taping them together, and walking in. personally i still bought my own ticket, but i can definitely understand why people would take such a risk for a festival like that.

Awesome use of emoticon, such an appropriate reaction to the MDMA comment. felt so real. We really do have the best smileys on the fuckin net.

Just so we are all clear, most people go by this definition

Main Entry:  techno-music
Part of Speech:  n
Definition:  a type of music genre that uses electronic instruments

It is not offensive or incorrect to use techno as a replacement for electronic.

Some people call everything with an electric guitar Rock 'n' Roll, they're not necessarily wrong.  Words mean different things to different people, nobody owns them no matter how much of a hipster you think you are.

Also I think MDMA is wack and grossly overrated, so it is.

all i have learned from this thread is that there is that I apparently really don't like techno. (or at least the techno on the first page)

too repetitive

and I fucking LOVE electronic music in general,
