I Love Techno

[micky]

i LOVE drum and bass! particularly pendulum, moreso their older stuff. (blood sugar is a great song) i forgot how to post videos.

 

[Xojins]

Dubstep is the only kind of electronic music I kind of like. Even then I only like it to dance to while on drugs.

 

[Tartarga]

I like techno but I know very little about it and this thread is being super helpful. I really like this song but i'm not sure if it qualifies as techno or not.

I like some techno, preferably the stuff that classifies itself as Electronica.

Speaking of which, I made an entire album [http://www.villafuzz.net84.net]'s worth of Electronica in the weekend... I can haz feedback?

Woah, holy shit dude, I have an electronica band no one listens to as well! I have some stuff on Youtube. Name is x^2. you can look it up if you like. You'll have scroll down a lot though.

There are so many of us.

As for feedback, well yes, you can has. I listened to every track, and I can say that all of them are pretty good. Rockin' Alive, Haze, My Twisted Massacre, and Coldstorm were the best tracks in my opinion. You might want to try polishing your sound a little bit. The first couple of tracks especially seems very empty and bare, and could definitely be helped by some reverb or something. Try making the sound more finished, I think is the best word. Make sure the tracks are complete before putting them up. But the Album you've got up there is good and is definitely going on my iPod in the event of a download link.

 

[Arachon]

Yeah, I think I have most of it on mp3 or wav lying around somewhere as well as having everything I made backed up on the original sequencer programme although I don't have that installed atm. Someone else asked if I could post them on an electronic music thread a while back but I don't know how to do that with music.

PS: Beat you to it with GFB Speedcore Lacrima

I suppose you could try uploading the sound files to one of those file-hosting sites, and just throw the links at people.

Speedcore Lacrima is a nice track, kind of a melodic quality that I've found hard to find in most similar tracks by other Djs.

Might give that a go. It's a bit late to start fiddling around now where I am but I'll bookmark this page and give it a go tomorrow.

Sticking a bit of classical on behind a speedcore drumbeat works pretty well, the contrast of the fast drumbeat and the violins works nicely. I've got a few doomcore tracks that do similar things.

 

[khaimera]

OP: I think the word you are looking for is 'EDM' rather than 'Techno'.

And as for the music, I like it, I frequently attend Rave parties... so yeah... I'm generally into Hardcore and Goa-/Psytrance (with subgenres), but I enjoy the occasional Breakbeat and Terrorcore as well.

Spoiler: here's some examples

Goa-/Psytrance
Hardcore
Gabba/Terror-/Speedcore
Breakbeat

Yes, techno and various subgenres are my choice of music whether you are talking about techno specifically or are just using it as a catch all word for electronic dance/ambient/chillout music. Speedcore, gabba, hard techno and acid techno are my favourites but basically anything that might come under the hardcore techno label.
I used to make my own and DJ at a few squat parties and raves 5-15 years ago and Simon Underground said a few of my tunes were potential releases but then as happens to a lot of ravers too many hard drugs and crazy women knocked me out of the rave circles and crushed my creative spirit. I still have the equipment and all the tunes but the will to mix and create has gone.

Yeah, the drugs are a *****... It's kind of sad they have to be associated with the rave scene, because the music and people themselves are nice, but as soon you bring hard drugs into it, people get so fucked up it's not funny...

You don't happen to have examples of anything you've produced yourself?

Its Happy Hardcore basically. It reminded me of early nineties rave music since it had elements of jungle. I tend to prefer the darker side of electronic music.

Sounds more like Breakbeat Hardcore to me tbh, which is kind of the precursor to Happy Hardcore.

You're probably right on the genres. I was never that good at knowing the specifics of all of them. I'm really diggin that Gabba Front Berlin.

This is one big reason I love this music. There is so much of it out there just waiting to be discovered. I had to stop myself back in the day from spending nearly all of my money on music. Then the internet comes around and its like christmas morning all the time with new music everywhere.

EDIT: Just listened to your stuff and Missing Pieces was my favorite. Nice job.

Wow, you're the first person to like Rockin' Alive
I tried looking for your music, but I can't find it... link plz?
Thanks for the feedback, too.

I myself enjoy Crystal Castles and Rusko apart from that I'm pretty lost on the genre.

These are my favorite Crystal Castles tunes if you'd kindly recommend me more stuff like it as well as some dubstep I'd be much obliged.

Ninja'd, I just planned to post their whole 1st album. Massive Props though. While not so much into techno electonica is good, but I just preffer things with lyrics ussually.

Do 3OH3 count? Probably not, more pop than anything else.

Steve Angelo is pretty good, not too repetitive which is the most common problem with techno I reckon.

Great House from Klass

And I'll thrown in some Crystal Castles in there just for good measure. The more people listen to CC the better, gotta get a tattoo of them.

BLack Panther, my fave of the chiptune/circuit bending stuff

Intimate, this song is very.

No problem dude, always trying to support my fellow indie artists!

Heres my stuff:

The first two are from my first EP and the other four are from my first ever full length album that I'm still working on.

I have two EPs done right now, and I'm looking for ways to release them. I wanted to do something with selling them over itunes or something, but I might just give them away for free like you have.

This is a pretty diverse group of tracks, but these are the only ones I have up right now.

 

[micky]

Think you could recommend me some tunes? I just recently got into techno so I'm a noob at it. Right now I'm really into Deadmau5, Basshunter, and a bit of Tiesto. Think you could recommend me some artists I'd like?

try out pendulum, there my favorite but only there first album "hold your color" the rest aren't that good.

Nice one(s)... what program are you using? I don't have much money to spend so I'm using Linux Multimedia Studio at the moment...
I especially liked Mona Lisa and 59, Sunshine is a bit too clashy. I can see what you're going for, but it completely drowns out the drums.

This thread is too awesome.

Some more music I personally enjoy, perhaps expand some horizons, or just throw it out there to keep this greatness going. Just some more electronic goodness, not strictly of the techno variety.

Spoiler: Mimosa. Not hot on much dubstep-styled stuff but this...is pretty tasty music

Spoiler: Bluetech. An amazing downtempo/psybient/dub composer that is among my all-time favorites.

I don't know many people at all who have heard of phidelity's mixes. He serves up a constantly updated assortment of continuous mixes on his site, and there's some real gems among his massive collection.

You really should give some of these a download/listen. [http://www.phidelity.com/blog/category/dj-mixes/]

Ones I've enjoyed thoroughly over the years are The Four Corners [http://www.phidelity.com/mp3/2005_phidelity-the_four_corners.mp3](no companion page on this one, just the stream/download), Low Cool [http://www.phidelity.com/blog/dj-mixes/low-cool-2004/], The Dreamer and the Dreamed [http://www.phidelity.com/blog/dj-mixes/the-dreamer-and-the-dreamed/], and More Noise Please [http://www.phidelity.com/blog/dj-mixes/phidelity-dj-mix-more-noise-please-2006/].

Good stuff.

I was going to post the entire first album but then my post would be obnoxiously long. Excellent CC choices BTW

Techno != Electronic Music.

This is like calling all Rock music Thrash Metal. It's just incorrect to say.

Well, the OP did explain their choice of words though, but I see your point, bothers me to no end when someone calls something like Psytrance or Terrorcore Techno.

 

[Captain Pirate]

Anything by Pendulum.
But seriously, one of my personal favorites is Retaliate by Hadouken!. It's an iTunes exclusive that I had no idea about, came with the album, and I think it's sublime.
Also quite a bit of Does it Offend You, Yeah?'s stuff contains elements of subgenres of techno, specifically Wierd Science, Battle Royale, and We Are Rockstars. All of which are amazing live and great to listen to in my opinion.

 

[Arkzism]

mmm not the biggest fan but i do enjoy industrial and there is always a place in my music collection for some ambient
