Can anyone recommend any choons like this one? Prodigy - Wind it up?
Also, is this even the right thread for this song? I know there's so many different sub genres of techno and rave stuff

The most recent techno person that really really hit my techno spot - i.e. that is unmistakeably techno and not some kind of house variant - is Rrose, who did some ace releases on Sandwell District just before they closed down label operations. This pair of tracks in particular, they're off the flippin hook: Waterfall and The Surgeon General

ndrwkrtn

Actually there was this insane record last year by Ninos Du Brasil, that can only be described as mental rainforest rave up techno or something, with some of the greatest youtube videos ever made complementing each track


EDIT: And these fellas N.M.O. last year did probably the best live music thing I've ever seen - just live snare drumming and a laptop running SuperCollider, but the most intense techno workout. Just these 2 lads legging it back and forth across a dingy club basement floor, one of them doing a snare drum riff at one end of the room when he legged it over to that side, the other pushing a button on the laptop, it building up in speed/ferocity, whilst the SuperCollider algorithm did a huge siren thing demanding that they speed up their legging it, and everyone (probably 20 people max) just lost their shit when it all kicked off proper. Like Cut Hands crossed with a brass band doing the bleep test. Ace. All other club music now pales in comparison

John Tejada ‎– Signs Under Test (Kompakt)

Only noticed his new album is out. Parabolas released in 2011 will go down as a classic. He's up there with the best tech house / techno producers. Endorphins is my current favourite on repeat at the moment.

I love Tejada.
Got this but not listened yet.  I'm expecting the usual melodic machine-funk.  His stuff always has a deceptive simplicity, in that there's not usually many simultaneous elements going on but still sounds just great.

Been listening to some of the stuff I'm cool enough to have bought years ago but not cool enough to play now

Purveyors of Fine Funk - Intombe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxqHYz_r7aY

(more) Dan Curtin - Orange Night

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIc_c5l-7o

Paperclip People - The Climax (Re-worked)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKQl-m9fEUY

Robert Armani - Circus Bells (Hardfloor remix)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEvzS0SN9Xc

These days I like a lot of minimal mixes but don't really know what the fuck I'm listening to.



jobotic

You'll either like this or not. I really do but have still only listened all the way through a couple of times so I'm not going to say "you have to listen to the spaces - it's about what happens inside your mind", 'cos, you know, you don't.

Great shout. The basic channel rework (basic reshape) is one of the finest sounds to have ever been made, I reckon. Slow it down to -4 on yer platter, even better.

Also great shout jobotic. parping brass band has never been so well used as a drop, then so thoroughly decimated

How about this minimal techno funk stomper from Dan Curtin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLMMRktrj6Q

or my favourite by him - should soundtrack the next Blade Runner

Now you're asking! You need to check the  old skool hardcore dumping ground thread on here:

Has anyone mentioned Linkwood's new album - Expressions?

Its a corker from the stuff I have heard so far

F.U.S.E. - A New Day

Reminds me a bit of "Melt" by Leftfield...which is a good thing.

All this Dan Curtin talk made me get Web of Life out again. Fuck it's good.

First track - love the synth at 4:20 particularly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEgfb-ca6Z8

Could be UR at their best

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1k2y3IY_90

Third Eye Foundation sounds on this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JFOl_oYqnM

This, at 2:15. Techno is the music you can really see, at its best. (yeah, I know, twat).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g-fhhlo3-Y


Those X-Mix CDs introduced me to loads of amazing stuff - particularly Laurent Garnier's. The best UR and Derrick May tracks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7gK6UuSQ10

I also remember John Peel playing this, when i was probably listening out for a Bogshed session or something, and although i liked a bit of hip hop this sounded so alien and incredible.

So there's my trip down memory lane. Sorry about that.

Hypnotising.

First heard by me on a Richie Hawtin mix from ten years ago. Makes me want to be off my tits in a club, which is the last place I normally want to be, what, at my age and all.

Audion - Kisses

Caribou's latest LP is amazing - everyone knows this.  But less obvious is the Nick Muir remix of Can't Do Without You - a tasty techy rework that I would love to hear in a club.

Entropy Balsmalch

Gravitational Arch of 10 by Vapourspace has always stuck with me since hearing it in a tent in Stratford Upon Avon at the Pheonix Festival.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63dYYZLdodw

Almost perfect.

Incidentally, you could get from that to the equally excellent uZiq:

And then off in to the fun:

Might have a go on Ableton and recover twenty years of lost vinyl mixing skills.

For people who say techno has no soul - this track always brings tears to my eyes

Galaxy 2 Galaxy - Journey Of The Dragons

I was a massive fan of Sheet One / Musik-era Plastikman.

I like this one:

Plastikman - Sickness

OK, so more Electro than techno, but the 2 styles are so interlinked it doesn't really matter. A lot of eelctro turns me right off, but this has quite a nice emotive vibe going for it.

Scratch Massive - Today's Sunday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3itIITEZDE

Bobby Treetops

On a similar vibe

Claro Intelecto - Peace Of Mind

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7_Z08hnla0

Claro Intelecto - Tone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raSO8QPoJLw

Edit - I've just noticed this EP came out 11 years ago, not for the first time I suddenly feel old. I also forgot how good his early stuff was, basically anything he released on AI Records is worth a listen.
