This Weekend In Techno Town

THURSDAY JAN 24
Last Thursday night at Roxy it was Cosmic Gate, this Thursday night it's DJ Thomas Gold (D)!  Got to see him last September at EDC-Puerto Rico and he was probably the highlight of the night.
($20) 
Also on Thursday night over in Tampa at Amphitheatre, the #16 DJ in the world, Paul van Dyk (D) will be performing many of his hits including songs from his 6th album "Evolution" released last year.
($20)
FRIDAY JAN 25
It's January which means EDM on Friday nights at Vain.  This Friday it's New York City DJ Jimmy Ponzio headlining with local DJ Chad Andrew opening. House, Dance & Top 40.   ($10)


Lost in Trancelation returns for another year this Friday night at Bikkuri Lounge on West Colonial Drive.  It's all about Trance of course, the line-up this month includes DJ Agni, DJ Robb Blak and DJ Intrikit.  
(FREE) 

We haven't forgotten that Friday night is 80's Night at Backbooth; we just haven't visited in awhile!  Doors open at 11:59pm for 80's Top 40 videos.
(FREE)  
SATURDAY JAN 26
Coming up fast in the EDM world, Baauer's first Orlando visit is sure to be impressive since it's backed by both Disco Donnie and HTG.  Expect a full house at Firestone Live!
($10) ($15)
Should be another good crowd at Roxy for Corporate Slackers (USA). Don't know much about them but it's one more Saturday night option.

    Soooo...stop using the word Techno? Maybe?

    Very few Djs really play Techno so most of the time you're actually referring to House music. Let's just stop using the word Techno.

    Cut the boy some slack. Techno means electronic dance music.

    "Techno" is also commonly confused with generalized descriptors, such as electronic music and electronic dance music.[14][15][16]

    "Techno" is a term describing a specific type of Electronic Dance Music. It is a distinct style of music just as House, Trance, Breakbeats, etc are distinct types.

    But before the term "Electronic Dance Music" came into vogue, the general population just referred to all types of electronically generated music as "techno". Use of the term "techno" in a broad fashion dates back to the 90's. It is in that generic fashion that I use it to describe Orlando as "Techno Town". Orlando was a front runner on the EDM scene back in the 90's.
