Sorry for the weird question but I just wanted to ask, because I keep seeing album covers with lolis on it but never shotas.

Like dj technorch is good but sounds dark and too random. Also I dislike two drop songs like a build up and a drop x2. Those are too predictable. I like marabou stork by Aran. Just so you know what techno I’m into. For reference. the hyper techno/rave I listen too is (Jakazid, DJ Shimamura). But yeah trying to get into schranz that isn’t dark and too repetitive.. I’m done with Kobayro and camellia by the way.

Well i just saw the album covers for Hardcore Syndrome and they all feature the same character (Which is called Doro*C by the way) and only the first one was drawn in a different style.

For example, this is Syndrome X's and Syndrome 12's Doro*C:

However, this is Syndrome 1's Doro*C (Unsettling image warning):

It's like she overslept or something and is actually uncomfortable to see for an extended period of time.

So does anyone find HS1's album cover unsettling? And why the sudden art style shift from HS 1 to HS 2? I believe that HS 1's cover was like a prototype for the character but it was frightening so subsequent Hardcore Syndromes had the character redesigned. Any thoughts?

Hi guys,

I know this topic was covered before but it was 7 years ago and we all know a lot has changed in the past few years!

So I was wondering what the techno scene is currently like in Japan, and in particular Tokyo and Osaka. I hope to travel there next year, COVID restrictions permitting (I'm unjabbed) so I'm curious to know what the current techno scene is like there. Have the clubs returned to pre-pandemic levels, is there a thriving techno scene there and what are your thoughts on the Japanese techno scene in general? How does it differ to Europe etc? Also, what's Japan like for drugs? In the UK (and pretty much everywhere else I've been to) techno music is synonymous with drug culture, but I know Japan is extremely strict and there isn't much of a drug culture there. How does that work?

Any responses will be gratefully received :)

I was curious what countries you guys were from? I'm American and I love J-Core so I guess I'm a weeboo, but I was curious is there any of you from Japan? That would be cool.

another question, does anyone know the samples for No Moon 3 and Running machine?
