Man, I wish Bedrock would release the sub-labels: Bedrock Black and Bedrock Breaks. With all the dark techno, Black would be an incredible label to release such releases. Furthermore, to entice today's producers to make very dark progressive music. Bedrock Breaks... the world just needs more breakbeats. Personally, this where I tend to see so much more creativity. As always, Linas Time Machine, you're doing society by posting these gems.

While I enjoyed this period (e.g John Creamer, Quivver, Parks and Wilson, etc), this dark progressive was ultimately overdone and made the girls run off the dancefloor: it got very boring and the overall vibe kills you spiritually (the opposite of good trance for example, and also lacking the funkyness of house/progressive house). By 2005-06 everyone was migrating to minimal techno, microhouse and electro. I think there's a balance: too much darkness imo sucks, but I also dislike the anjuna sound (or find it lacking omph for a proper club experience). Tarantella - Karma is a good example of proper balance, powerfull but not ominous/hellish. The world needs uplifting (but not cheesy, like Anjuna) music.

@@juankplaysmusic I understand what you're saying. I started in trance. I would have stayed but it go too cheesy with the super saw arps. I used to love what Tilt, Solar Stone, Quivver, Hybrid, and so forth were doing. That sound was was captured again when progressive breaks exploded in 2003 with groups like the Wrecked Angle and other prominent artist were doing. This is why I mostly just play mostly progressive breaks. It still has the serious melodic element that makes it stand out. I still like some of the material from the likes of Airwave that have that classic progressive sound that is timeless but today's production on DAWs have made everything sound so similar. I didn't understand minimal techno or for a long time until I got into production. I actually like it now. However, it was the realization of why techno DJ's play with their sets with all this additional gear. There layering and adding to the music as you go with additional drum machines, effects processors, and synthesizers... making it something of their own. I actually respect that because the barrier of entry of becoming a DJ has gotten so low. This has crowded the market with DJ's who just want to be DJ's without any passion for the craft or music.
