I surrender. Recommend me some techno

Kiamde · February 2005

I would like to start a small techno collection. I would like techno that I can game to and techno that sounds good. I don't really want rave, but trance is fine. The only techno artist I listen to is Scooter. Anything like Scooter's mixes would be great. Thanks, I am new to the genre.

Orcc · February 2005

Ill reccomend you this instead ::::01::

:O

But really... I dont know or listen to techno really... the only song I have which I thought is kinda cool (although I dont think it really counts as techno or not) is called frontier pyschiatrist by Avalanche.

Me niether. It is just a nice change from listening to classic rock and nu metal for the past 10 years.

Orcc · February 2005

Here are a couple others I just thought of... again they arent really techno, not sure if youd like them or not, but theyre not classic rock or metal.

Metric, The Sounds and Modest Mouse.

rathma · February 2005

Well, you have to listen to Prodigy. That's mandatory.

Also, listen to the song "Underdog" by Boom Boom Sattelites. I listen to that when I play CS and HL2. If you like it check out the other bands songs. The only thing is some songs are kind of techno/rock (Dive For You, is one that is like that) and the others I haven't seen because the band is pretty underground. If you can find them though give them a listen.

Tatu and Daft Punk

Yeah, Modest Mouse is a pretty good Indie Band. They've just recently become popular with their Good News for People Who Love Bad News album (heard Float On quite a few times on the radio), causing them to become more well-known. Another real good album of theirs before they hit it big would be The Moon & Antarctica. And if you find out you like them a couple of other good bands would be Radiohead, Wilco, and Interpol (although that one is kind of pushing it categorizing it as Indie).

The other genres of music I listen to would be Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, etc... (everything from Led Zeppelin to Iron Maiden, Metallica to the Rolling Stones, Guns N Roses to Pink Floyd) but it seems you already have listened to all that stuff and want something new.

::::03:: The only reason Tatu was semi-popular was because they were lesbians. Three weeks later people forgot who they were.

And Daft Punk had one annoying one hit wonder song. Again, you won't be seeing them anytime soon.

I'm not sure if you are joking or being serious. After all, you did use to listen to emo. ::::07::

Those girls were pretty. Anyways, I loved the HL2 soundtrack. What techno somewhat sounds like the HL2 soundtrack. Somewhat trance with a little rave.

SatansDisciple · February 2005

Vegas by The Crystal Method. That's the only techno artist I really like. Try Frou Frou too, thei not really heart pumping techno, but it's pretty calming stuff.

Crystal Meth and Modest Mouse are not techno.

Ominis · February 2005

Yeah... But when does a thread here ever stay on topic?

Yeah, I know. You gotta put some sense in the hijackers.

Let me break it down, Admjn, I did not ask for shitty, overrated, so-called new era rock, I asked for hardcore fugging techno. Thank you.

admjn65 · February 2005

dude... I just read the thread and two of the bands that I like were mentioned, and I wanted to know what u people use to download songs. I'm sooo damn sorry that I asked a question that relates to this thread. So let me break it down, Kiamde, I was just asking a question and you dont have to go and crap a fuking brick about it.
I realize you are looking for techno, so I guess next time I will start my own thread.

Flying750 · February 2005

You guys are all forgetting about great artists like Darude and Alice Deejay. Even DJ sammy songs are being overlooked and not suggested here.

KTU dance factory-dont know artist

Fat Boy Slim

Moby

Armand

Ratatat

Rush

Darude

Benny Benassi

Shaylor

House of Pain

Matrix II

Robert Miles

Scooter

Subatomicglue

The new deal

There was some... Ask if you need more

Flipmode · February 2005

I'll be alittle more specfic, I got quite a bit of this stuff.

so here it goes.

Dj Tiesto - all the "In search of sunrise" albums
all the "Magik" albums. (I believe there is 7)
"Nyana CD1 and CD2"
" Just be" (newest one)

Armin van Buuren - all of the " A state of Trance" sessions

Paul Oakenfold - album "Tranceport" (this is a must have)

Prodigy - album "Always outnumbered, never outgunned" (mint album)

Various Artists " Distance to Goa" albums 1-9.

These are probably the best impression of techno, trance and goa.
and of course, you can visit www.digitallyimported.com which has streams (96k max) of this stuff 24/7.

Good luck.

DoctorRat · February 2005

I dont listen to too much Techno but I suggest Smack My Bitch Up by Prodigy and Shiny Disco Balls (I'm not sure what the DJ's name is)

Lost9999 · February 2005

I recommend -

Sash & Digweed - The Silence

Ferry Corsten - Global Trancemissions (the whole album)

Johnny Vicious - Light a rainbow

Christopher Lawrence - Bubble & Squeak

Caia - Jericho

Tim Deluxe - It just won't do

Modjo - Lady

BT - Animals

George Acosta - Cafe Del Mar

If you looking for any house try -

Bad Boy Bill, Bobby D, or DJ Dan
