Techno! Techno! Techno! Techno!

Probably posted in here before, but Galaxy 2 Galaxy - Journey Of The Dragons is possibly my favourite techno tune ever.

Yep one of the best pieces of music of any genre.

What I love about the Mad Mike thing I posted is that he could probably whack that out in five minutes and it's still ace.

Lovely

B12 - Scriptures

Yes, it often sounds like he just goes in and turns on the machines and doesn't overthink it,

Been revisiting some old Lil Louis

Blackout (Phase II)

Why'd U Fall

[BlodwynPig]

I'd say, house. I suppose it exists in that grey area that first progressive house and latterly, tech house, were supposed to fill.

Anyway, Blodders, here's one for you

Eat Static - Nucleus Trance

Nice, I haven't got that one, thanks

edit: ahh, have the peel sessions but that track is missing (files, not physical)

UK Techno pioneer Luke Slater is back with a new release on Ostgut Ton.

I'm loving the break-beat tinged number fellow kids:

Album?

There's a two hour downloadable (2GB WAV!) mix incorporating the tracks from the EP on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/ostgutton-official/sets/luke-slater-berghain-fuenfzehn-o-ton-127

[chveik]

I like this one

Theo Parrish - Children of the Drum

(I guess it's house though)

It's Theo :)

Theo Parrish - Falling Up (Carl Craig mix) never gets old.

[Viero_Berlotti]

Album?

It's listed on Discogs as a double 12" EP.

7 tracks, 52 minutes. That's an album in my book.

Theo Parrish - Falling Up (Carl Craig mix) never gets old.

Still a banger! I overplayed this track years ago so gave it a rest; I heard it for the first time in ages the other day and got goosebumps again. Carl Craig is such a consistent favourite of mine - Oscillator and The Climax saw me through a difficult bout of essay marking last week.

[jobotic]

I remember sitting in a pub in Covent Garden longingly looking at The Climax 12" I'd just bought. Was having a lovely drink with friends but really just wanted to go home and chuck it on.

Falling Up Carl Craig mix is fantastic but I think I prefer Parrish's original. Like his best stuff it's weird as fuck.

Absolutely, I think I'm destined to spend the rest of my life flip floppin' between the two.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this mix of him

Talking about Luke Slater, I only had his albums but found this EP recently and it does the trick and then some

The 7th Plain - Shades Amaze (De-tuned Version)

Love that cantering drum loop underneath the classic 90s IDM melancholy. Jacking in Outer Space.

[Funcrusher]

Mike Huckaby dead at 54. Shit.

I mostly know him for the excellent dub-technoish My Life With the Wave, but he did cool deep house and techno stuff as well, and was very active in tutoring up and coming Detroit musicians as I recall. RIP.

NHS support compilation from R&S, lots of tasty artists on there - In Order to Care

[Viero_Berlotti]

I've been digging Japanese DJ/Artist Wata Igarashi quite a bit recently. A purveyor of fine psychedelic, spaced-out techno.

A good showcase of his talents here: https://www.mixcloud.com/residentadvisor/ra617/

Roza Terenzi - Elevate

Lush. From her first album out this year.

[monkfromhavana]

I remember being at uni several millennia ago and having a fair few Mike Dred records played to be and me unfailingly thinking that they were absolute toss.

Listened to the Kosmik Kommando album today, and loved this

Quondam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRnWBxPRnzE

I reckon that now, with the benefit of hindsight and my tastes maturing over the years, all those Mike Dred records at uni I listened to, I'd probably still think that they were dogshit. But I now don't think that *all* his records are boring minimal claptrap.

[monkfromhavana]

Quite like this from another one of those poundshop Orbital clones, Spooky.

I was listening to Joey Beltram dub of The Shamen - Progen and it reminded me if that early Guerilla progressive house sound.

Forever down with the kids, I'm listening to a Dream House compilation.

This is pretty nice, in an inoffensive way (plus it's on Soma)

Skintrade - Psalm

To be fair, there are some good non-dream house tracks on there (Smokebelch, Sueno Latina, and Terra Firma's 'Floating' which I enjoyed)

From tonight's compilation 'Futuresonics - Techno Vision 01' https://www.discogs.com/Various-Futuresonics-Techno-Vision-01/release/649108, an absolute belter from Dave Angel. I've just got told off for having it too loud over my headphones.

Was reading that Angel used to open up 1200/10s when he came on, pop in a screwdriver and tweak the pitch range up a few %. Apparently it was a recognised phenomenon that djs following him often had a mare and didn't know why.

I'm about a week off pulling the trigger on a pair of reloops after a ten year hiatus and post 40. Mid life crisis, I don't know, but I've been craving mixing for months
