About – Dancer Plays Records

Electronic music, especially Techno House, has developed in a very versatile way in various genres and styles over the last thirty years. From the experimental visions of composer Karlheinz Stockhausen, from Kraftwerk, to the gay or queer disco and dance scene of New York and Chicago, to Electro, Ambient, Industrial, and onward to the Europe of Post Punk Electronic, Synth Pop and Acid House, Techno found its final definition in Detroit. Upon superficial consideration, one might be under the impression that everything has long been said about Techno, however a more profound view can easily refute this.

The production of Techno music is based on the constant development of technical progress on the one hand, and on the other hand on the latest perspectives which every new generation of Techno enthusiasts brings with them. Thus, the acoustic visions of sound tinkerers and the know-how of the producers, the software engineers, the mastering studios continue to be responsible for Techno as the definition of what constitutes the music of the future.

Techno styles such as Dark, Dub, Industrial, Minimal, Psychedelic or Ambient Techno demonstrate the classic landmarks and represent the fundamental basis of Techno. Especially through the fusion with other electronic music styles such as House Music, Break Beat, Ambient, Bass, Leftfield, Krautrock, Electro, Trip Hop, Dubstep or Trap, the foundation of Techno undergoes a rejuvenation time and again. Techno music producers and DJs have since followed their intention to produce the temporary sound in accordance to their musical preferences in order to give it a home in their social environment, in the Techno club, in their Techno scene or with the release on a record label of their aspiration.

Thus, the acoustic visions of sound tinkerers and the know-how of the producers, the software engineers, the mastering studios continue to be responsible for electronic music as the definition of what constitutes the music of the future.

Times of crisis are also times of opportunity! This presents a fantastic chance to act independently and creatively, free from the constraints of a major label, and to make one’s own music accessible to the public. It is the perfect time to consider founding one’s own record label! This was the inspiration behind the birth of Dancer Plays Records!

Techno is like the light-footedness of the dancer, the euphoria at the heart of a dance floor, the dissolution of boundaries, the moment of reflection and freedom.
