technotrad

- Hip techno stylizings of Le Group Swing!
- The hybrid fusion of the mandolin and fiddle to create a mind blowing musical experience!
- Undisputedly will keep you stomping, swinging and crying throughout the 2 minute performance.
Swing indisputably has you swinging, dancing and stomping your feet as soon as you can hear the very first bars of technotrad which bring back the good old kitchen partys of yesteryear. La vie comme ça, where sampling and scratching are combined to the fiddle and the mandolin, make for a remarkable mix.

technocrat

adj; noun;

an elite group of electronic music enthusiasts, who have refined their techno music tastes through concerts and sharing music. Technocrats appreciate mainstream beats and timeless techno classics, but they believe in the evolution of this rhythmic music genre. They avoid stagnant and tired songs and sounds. They believe the envelope is meant to be pushed, not to continuously rehash the same bullshit.
Yes, I am a technocrat. And yes, I thought the Deadmau5 set at EDC 2010 was slow and boring.

technocamping

What do you get when you cross Harold Camping and technology punditry?

You get a doom-and-gloom prediction of the demise of a technology or technology company, based largely on conjecture and uninformed speculation.
When (pundit) swears that (technology company) is on the verge of collapse because their senior management was overheard by (unreliable source) to be looking into using Voodoo as a means of retaining their customer base, that pundit is technocamping.
