This is a great mix, uncompromising and done with feeling. What Shifted uses as a tool to play this music is irrelevant. Techno is from their minds to yours, its what lies beneath, the message being conveyed that is important. That is a fundamental principle of real techno, whats makes it entirely relevant still.. Without that then surely techno is it entirely what it's critics would level at it,,,soulless,repetitive club music ? . On the contrary real techno is a deeply soulful medium, and a complex and dynamic one at that. Whether a techno artist uses vinyl or CD's or data is not important. Worrying about this is a superficial and simply not "hearing"techno. Vinyl was once a necessity as it was the only format available but this is no longer the case. As well as newer artists and DJ's, legends such as Jeff Mills, Surgeon, Derrick May, Dave Clarke (and countless others) haven't used vinyl (exclusively) for years partly because of the unrivalled creativity afforded by other formats. These individuals are still consistently among the worlds best techno artists and DJ's, simply because they all create and play with emotion and passion and can convey that to the dancer and listener. Transmitting the tones with whatever technology is available (rather than worrying about whether plastic is better than zeros and ones) is a central and important underground ethic. Control the machines, don't allow the machines to control you.
I disagree. You've got approximatively 20 hours of party, and the DJ's are sometime incredible like Ben Klock a couple of months ago. 17€ in presale, it's not expensive.
What i like best about parties like these is that it's kept simple... No massive wall of speakers, fancy stages, tacky dancers, or space-age laser beams... It is an intimate date with the music and the DJ. No VIP, no bullshit status-quo, where everyone IS the back-stage and best seat in the house is EVERYWHERE. This is what the underground is about and looks like :) Love it.

I hate comments like this... nobody likes coked up people that dance violently even during breaks hitting everyone in a 1m radius...playing for a crowd like this would make me happy any day
Man this period of techno from 2011 - 2013 was soo good. This was before smart phones really took off in clubs and you could freely be the hedonist that techno intended you to be. Wish we could go back to this but maybe I'm remembering things through rose colored glasses
Hard to tell.. You have some great real clubbers and some great initiatives but Paris is a complicated city for techno events : not so many places because everything is concentrated so neigbourrs dont like it. And the people..Underground parties are great at the beginning but become quickly full of non-techno lovers only here to show off. For example concrete at the beginning was excellent, but now it's only show off an cash machine (20euros the entry, have to pay 5 extra euro to get out / in).

So yeah what can i say its 2020 and i still loving it. For me was 2011 - 2016 the best years. I met many people & have seen a lot of things ..thanks God 4 that
I never actually watch these boiler room videos (just audio), I often get annoyed by the people in the background as well, not that I mind them dancing, they can do whatever they want, it's just often out of sync
