i was gonna give you some, but now im not


your best bet is to just find techno versions of songs on the radio. check out darude, dj tiesto, and some other european names.

 

I'm too lazy to do a search but there was a thread on the subject not all that long ago......

 

Come on MOD MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My little brother is a big techno head. He burns me CD's all the time and I have no idea who they are, but I enjoy them.

I would like to have a list of songs to get as well, cmon people!

 

4 clubbers "secrets" is alright.... ive got more... ill make a playlist and post it on the itunes thing... or post it here...

 

Heres some songs to get you started. As you can see, im not into the heavy type of techno:

Robin Fox - I see stars
ATB - Underwater world
Robert Miles - Children
Darude - Sandstorm
DJ Murphy Brown - Axel F
Paul Oakenfold - Set me Free
BT - dreaming
Dj Tiesto - Platoon Theme Remix
Dj Tiesto - Clockwork Orange theme remix
(Not really techno but..) Rob D - Clubbed 2 Death part 1 and 2

 

I didn't know anyone else on this board would EVER know about her ... hopefully the break-beat version ...

Keep in mind that asking for techno recommendations is like asking for a good non-fiction book; there's many categories and niches. You really have to find out what appeals to you. I highly recommend: http://www.ishkur.com/music/ to get a rough feel of the different flavors - also it's good to get the names of some songs you may like from the snippets. Click on the guide v2.5 link

And, of course, the best internet techno station:
Digitally Imported: www.di.fm Just click on one of the many streams.
It's incredible stuff and free.

A couple of my favourite tracks (you may have a tricky time running these down, but they're worth the search)

Scooter - Devil Drums
Scooter - I'll put you on the guest list

 

Ok, here's from a professional clubber... Old, new, techno, house, trance...

Faithless - Insomnia
Faithless - God is a DJ (remix)
Iio - rapture
Iio - in the end
Tiesto - Love comes again
Junior Jack - E Samba
Junior Jack - My Feelings
Junior Jack - Stupid disco
Armand van Helden - You don't know me
Armand van Helden - My, my, my
Uniting Nations - Out of touch
DJ Da-Nos ft. Freak Out - Long train running (sp?)
PPK - ressurection
BT - Never come back down
Cassius - The sound of violence
J-J Smoothie - 2 People (Moloko mix)
Denzel - Pump it up
Ian van Dahl - Castles in the sky

 

my suggestion would be to look for early 90's vintage stuff, this is when it was being created by guys with more talent than equipment. by the time the mid-90's came it was too easy for any old fool to use their computer sound card to belt out some moronic remix, and 10 years later it's still going on.

my favourites from back then (with relevent song/album/label):
prodigy - experience
moby - thousand/next is the E
3mb... actually the whole Tresor label is way cool
juan atkins - 420Low is like a mental dr who theme
westbam - mayday (in fact, ANYTHING to do with mayday is usually good)
praga kahn - injected with a poison
dye witness - observing your earth
Trance Europe Express... brilliant chill-out electronica albums
aphex twin - anything
the orb
orbital
Trancemaster - the first 10 albums are 80% great stuff
Best Of Techno... the first 4 or so volumes i had, lost them. were pretty cool

this is all nice old-school stuff, progressive/industrial/trance/rave/breakbeat. i don't even have a record player anymore.

 

cool bananas, just found this website: http://www.di.fm/

from the menu you can select which genre of electronic music you want to listen to, i'm listening to the classic channel.

i was gonna go through and post links to samples like this: meltdown

but couldn't be bothered.

 

There are a lot of good songe in this thread at DTM.
