Good Techno...

[nerd of nerds]

Does anyone here know of any good techno bands? i used to hate music..then i discovered techno soooo, i need to know of a few good "bands" (what else would you call em?) so i can go to the local music shop and but them or errr, i mean, use itunes...yes, thats it, i'll use itunes...

in short, tell me about some good techno!

Sven Vath....

by techno u mean techno and not trance?

....personally i like breaks

went to a shit hot night last thurrsday ... Bedrock it rocked!

 

[frolik]

same.. breaks is the shit, check out anything on TCR - Rennie Pilgrems label

soz but don't dig techno

 

[nerd of nerds]

ummmm...i'm confused... i do know there are several styles of techno...but i don't know what they are called... i do like chemical bros. dj shadow (<---some...), and scooter...

 

[frolik]

try listening to the "Stanton Warriors - Stanton Sessions" it's a bit of a mixture of styles, but if you like the Chems then this may be good for you. Or I'm into Radioactive man (first album is best) which is a bit of a breaks/techno cross. oh and then there's "waveform - waveforms" which is really nice and has trance/techno influences.

have a listen and tell me what you like and I'll try and point you in the right direction

i used to hate music..

:blink:

Actually if you like techno you still don't like music!

 

[Ringo]

ooh! Dj Shadow.... That's the guy with "Organ Donor"! love that one!
If you wan't something fun I'd surgest "Bjørn Svin" - You really get the feeling, that he's just playing around with stuff. I always begins to laugh... mostly because it just too wierd

BTW If you wonder about his name, it's danish - not that it matters... being techno and all.

 

[jegHegy]

if you like DJ Shadow, you should get some Luke Vibert or DJ Vadim.

 

[frolik]

if you're into ninja tunes - check out pest's album - necessary measures it's damn funky in a quirky ninja way...

 

[triksR4rabits]

yo, check out infected mushroom

 

[NssOne]

Just go to di.fm, listen to all those stations for a while, and figure out what you like. I like trance and euro-dance.

 

[nerd of nerds]

ok, thanks for all of the replies... i hope the riaa doesn't come and sue the shit out of me...oh, wait, i am using ITUNES...here that riaa? ITUNES!! NOT kazaa

and i didn't HATE music, i just didn't like it that much...i am more of a video guy...but, in recent months i have become OBSESSED with techno and speakers...its weird...oh, i like classical and celtic (as long as there is NO singing!)

EDIT: oh, the reason i didn't like music is because of all of the pure shit that exists...i HATE YOU FILTHY FREAKING POP MUSIC!!! SOOOOOOO MUUUCCCCHHHH GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH DIE NSYNC!!! DIE BACKSTREET BOYS!!! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEIEIEIEIEIEIEIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!! THEN BURN IN HEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL h34r: h34r: h34r: h34r: :angry:

Soulwax - 2 Many DJs: As heard on Radio Soulwax
Fatboy Slim - Big Beach Boutique


Need I say more ....


The "techno" term almost sounds too american (no offense intended ). Nowadays its subdivided into a myriad of genres. Including trance, house, drum n bass , breakbeat, jungle, bastard pop etc..

For me I would chuck some funky fresh beats on the dancefloor and I'm down bruddah (so the saying goes)

 

[nerd of nerds]

well, i am new to techno...as i stated above. i am ALL about calling things their proper terms...they have names for a f***ing reason...like, my mom got a pocket pc and she keeps calling it a palm pilot, to a nerd like myself that is PURE torture...consider it like this: you are playing gp32 on the bus or a train and some weirdo comes up to you smelling funny and says "gee kid, that sure is a neat gameboy!" how would you feel? not only is this a stranger, but they got the name of our favorite handheld wrong...i would use pepper spray, then while they are on the ground crying in pain i would proceed to kick them...

i am a violent person...hehe h34r:

is there any kind of a "guide" to the different names of techno? with some examples...or if someone could post the names with 2 or 3 reference songs, that would rock my socks off, as they say... actually now they just say something is "pimp"...sigh...i can't stand teenagers in america today...and i am one of them...it sucks..

 

[lizard808uk]

for the funk go for:

Fatboy Slim and Freddy Fresh: Badder Badder Schwing - I think its free on Freddyfresh.com
Soulwax mix everyone you can think of.... both mainstream pop to underground. Should be all on p2p

Dillinja feat. MC Skibadee - "Twist em out" - Drum n Bass Anthem

Chemical Bros. - Block Rocking Beats - an oldie but goodie dance electronica (?)

Underworld - Live Album - Born Slippy, Cowgirl, King of Snake etc..

Royksopp - Melody AM - for chilled out moments

With these "choons" you'll be the coolest cat in class!

As for regular trance, have seen Mauro Picotto, Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Seb Fontaine, Jon Carter, Fatboy, - its all good.

Some dance/rock crossovers work quite well too. eg. Death in Vegas/Oasis, Orbital/David Gray, Leftfield/Afrika Bambaataa etc..

I think I've dropped too many names

[nerd of nerds]

ok...i listened to some eurodance..and so far that qualifies for the official nerd of nerds certification of da shit (aka, it effen rawks!) and fat boy slim is pretty fricken awsome...

what style is the scooter schtuff? it might be DJ. scooter..not sure tho...

ooh, i also like some of the music from jet grind radio...even tho it has singing in it...sigh...

thanks for all of the replies! i hope no one comes knocking on my door trying to sue me...and if they do...ummmm, i'll be doing all people who fileshare a biiig favor :lol:

 

[skysnapper]

Well scooter would probably be descibed as cheezy trance soz

This what i class as techno at the moment unfortunately no luck finding anything similar at the moment..(sorry about the poor quality there off some homevids i got on my site) If anyone can find me stuff i'd be very happy Wish i'd picked up some CDS when i was on holiday there

www.funke.co.uk/video/FullmoonParty1_NEW.wmv
www.funke.co.uk/video/fullmoonParty2_NEW.wmv

some dirty trance

www.funke.co.uk/video/trance_NEW.wmv

For a selection of free legit mixes (i take it your on broadband) across variety of genres of this type of music try http://www.bedroomdjchoice.com/
unfortunately the guys server went down wiping a lot of it out a week ago
I did notice today that under new someone had posted a full mix of scooter tunes....its right on the home page under 'latest'

incidentally if anyone likes deep dirty beaks / deep progressive house there is a wicked mix i downloaded off there 'ad hoc - the deepening' its bloody good!!!!

Sounds like the stuff they play at John Digweeds night Bedrock... chunky breaks rock

If you haven't already got it then you MUST and i mean MUST get Prodigys 'For the Jilted Generation'

 

[nerd of nerds]
