Heretik Sound System, Warehouse, Nantes – Friday November 17, 2023
Heretik Sound System, a legendary collective, Friday November 17 for an anthology night. We found the main room to be a great atmosphere but the music was more mainstream than we expected. Last time we saw Heretik Sound System was the terrific Techno Parade Paris – September 23, 2023 and they had the best sound…

Why Melodic techno is bad dance music
We at Peace of Mind are not into melodic techno. We think that the music lacks rhythm and feels fake, overly emotional, melodramatic, pseudo-sentimental, and boring. The DJs sets are weak, stopping the rhythm and playing overly pretentious intros in the middle of the set is dull and interrupts the collective energy on the dance…

That said it was a very good experience and it is nice to see Techno being recognized…
