Official Electronic Music Topic

[Blind Joe Death]

Ok well there's this party that my friend is having in two weeks time and knowing that I am a music fanatic, she has asked me too make a party CD full of Rap and Techno. I myself have all the rap covered but I am not to big of a techno fan, so I am asking anybody out there who has a good knowledge on techno and can give me some recommendations.

 

Either name a good song or just name a good artist, thanks.

Welcome to the 'Official Electronic Music Topic'.

 

Enjoy your stay and play nice.

[Mister Pink]

I would suggest you get some Daft Punk which is more Funky House than Techno.

 

Daft Punk:

 

Harder, Better, Faster, stronger.

Aerodynamic

Daftendirekt

Human After All

Robot Rock

 

These are all generally good party tracks.

 

If you want some you can try some Vitalic. Vitalic, like Daft Punk is French and is more Electro-House but he's quite good.

 

Vitalic:

 

Dance Like a Machine

Le Rock

Repair Machines

 

Or you can try Infected Mushroom. They are a mix of of Psytrance and all sorts.

 

Infected Mushroom:

 

Streched

I'm the Supervisor

Frog Machine

 

Well, I hope you try them out and enjoy them even if your not into that music.

 

 

 

 

[Blind Joe Death]

Wow, thanks mate. I actually don't mind techno but I only hear it and I don't follow it and like know the artists but I just like some tracks that I dance to and sh*t. But thanks a lot for that mate, I'll check them all out.

[Mister Pink]

Oh right. I see. That's cool. Well, you are very welcome and enjoy your party. Let us know how it went.

[Blind Joe Death]

Oh right. I see. That's cool. Well, you are very welcome and enjoy your party. Let us know how it went.

Well it's not until two or three weeks time but sure. I'll let you know how everyone liked the music as well, hopefully it's a hit.

[norniron]

Listen to tesco its a cross between disco and techno its quite good

[wjf]

If you want some you can try some Vitalic. Vitalic, like Daft Punk is French and is more Electro-House but he's quite good.

 

Vitalic:

 

Dance Like a Machine

Le Rock

Repair Machines

 

 

Good work, I went to see Vitalic a month or so ago in Liverpool, the only word I could use to describe it would be immense. Possibly one of the best nights I have ever been to, was absolutely wasted, and when he played Newman ass his final tune after the whole clubs chant of 'one more tune' as you can probably imagine, it went off big time.

[Mullen]

You have to get some REAL sh*t from Detroit:

 

Jeff Mills

Drexciya

Juan Atkins (aka Cybotron, Model 500, etc)

Underground Resistance

Carl Craig

Derrick May

 

and if you like some housey stuff check out some:

 

Moodymann

Theo Parrish

Terry Lee Brown Jr.

 

[jimmy.]

Daft Punk:

 

Harder, Better, Faster, stronger.

Aerodynamic

Daftendirekt

Human After All

Robot Rock

 

These are all generally good party tracks.

 

I also like the songs Digital Love and Revolution 909 by them too. Those would be good in a playlist.

[Attorney General]

Daft Punk and Vitalic are both kick ass!

 

Also try to get your hands on a couple of Junior Vasquez songs. He's an immensely popular DJ in Manhattan. Most of his stuff is great. Sander Kleinenberg did a remix of Mylo's "Muscle Cars" that was sensational. Mike Macaluso's " The Final Chapter is a banger too. I'll hit you with a few more once I can access my itunes...which is on the fritz at the moment.

[The Killa]

Check out ATB

[a_fool_from_edinburgh]

I see a techno thread so i have to pop up and say one thing:

HARDCORE, whether its happy or properly hard its great!

I thourghly recommend Scooter some good party anthems from them would be 'weekend' and 'logical song'

Also i highly reccomend Rotterdam Terror Corps doesn't matter which tune cos they mostly sound the same.

 

Also PinkFloyds reccomendation of Infected Mushroom is superb, quality group there.

As far as I see it they are the godfathers of Psy Trance which is one of my favorite styles of electronic music.

 

Pendulum is always a good crowd pleaser good tracks 'slam' 'tarantula' 'another planet'

 

Mix up the styles of techno cos under the 'techno' name comes a great deal of many many diverse genres from DnB to House to Trance, to HARDCORE (note when typing HARDCORE i have decided that i should always be in capitals )

 

I also recomend Cascada now maybe a wee bit neddy for some but nevertheless its pretty happycheeseyfeelgoodhouseytranceyharddanceyish stuff, i reckon it would go down well at a party.

 

As the killa also says ATB are pretty rocking check out Tiesto especially 'Adagio for strings' proper trance rave anthem that one

 

Edit: Can't belive I forgot The Prodigy! IMO they are the defintion on what proper 'techno' should be

You need good techno? - Mario Ranieri

[technomm]

I fully agree with you 'a_fool_from_edinburgh'.SCOOTERis all you need for a superb party.Just try some of their samples on the website,i'd promise you won't regret and your party will be HUGE!A bit of their lyrics:

"I am the horseman..i'm mentally mad...i'm a super sharp shooter..sittin on a rooftop.my name's mc h,i got the big breaks and the BASS,1,2 check it's a mixture ,rough to the core,thru the texture,come n get a taste of the fixture! yeah..."

[a_fool_from_edinburgh]

haha f*cking right, their lryics are just well uhm... in a league of their own, thats for sure!

I've just been making up sh*tloads of mix cds (one dedicated soley to scooter) for my plane flight tomorrow. Oh yes i pity the person who is sat beside someone (i.e ME) wearing stupidly large headphones pumping out non stop Scooter and maybe some happy hardcore.

 

HOW MUCH IS THE FISH???!??

lol,i think you should take a big speaker system with you to the plane to make the whole passengers go mad!...Good idea to play 'How much is the fish?' coz the airplane crew will get hungry and thus serve you a delicious fish!

No offence my friend but Scooter has to be one of the cheesiest tacky 'bands' ever. The blondey guy's like some washed-up early nineties, gay club performer. I don't know how people take them seriously. Maybe if you were 10 years old and a little clueless but even I hated them since I was nine or ten and I'm 22 now and they are still going.

I have to agree. I have not listened to scooter but those lyrics do sound incredibly cheesy.

Their music isn't supposed to be serious mate ,neither I do take it that way,it's just for fun ,as H.P says "we just want some fun".However i have to agree their late music is not what i like to hear,it's going cheap and commercial.In any case,it's undeniable that Scooter has made some great material even if you call it rip off,the awards and valuable chart positions they've attained is a proof.And that's why they're still rocking on the case for more than 13 years since you were 10 years old! lol

[vALKYR]

I don't know what you lot declare as Techno but all the songs and groups you listed here make House and Dance Music ONLY.

 

Not a single techno artist / song has been listed here, except for Scooter.

 

And you can tell by my sig, I know what techno is. Dutch people should know the difference between hardtrance and happy hardstyle or the difference between House and Dance, or else you ain't dutch

 

REAL Techno Tracks are:

• Shaun Baker - Xplode 2 (Harder Remix)
• Shaun Baker - V.I.P
• Discotronic - Tricky Disco
• Starsplash - Cold As Ice 2007 (Jumpstyle Mix)
• Jeckyl & Hyde - Freefall
• 200° - The Darkness
• Happ Clubber - Kick That Bass! (DJ Equan Remix)
• Hardstyle Mafia - Go Insane (Original Mix)
• The KJB's - Infinity
• Kim Sozzi - Break Up (Cascada Remix)
• The Artist Also Known as - Eating Donuts
• Culture Beat - Mr. Vain (Recall)
• Rocco & Bass-T - Alright (A1)
• Showtek - FTS (f*ck the System)
• Showtek - No Harder
• Showtek - The Colour of the Harder Styles
• Zanzalabs - Control your Mind (Tatanka Remix)
• Mr. Puta ft. Showtek - Puta Madre
• Mr. Puta - Greenstuff
• Donkey Rollers - The Fusion of Sound
• D-Block & Es-Te-Fan - Keep it Coming
• Snap - Rhythm Is A Dancer 2003
• C-Bool - Would You Feel (Ziggy X Edit)
• The Hitman - Like I Love You
• Blademasterz - Masterblade

Yellow Songs = Hardstyle (Hard Hardtechno )

Red Songs = Harder Hardstyle (explicit lyrics )

 

If you want versions of these songs I recommend http://www.djwitek.prv.pl (then go to MP3 and search the list) You can download the latest techno, remixes of old ones and hardstyle songs there for free.

 

I'd recommend to at least consider downloading all of these songs, this is about the best techno for a party you can find. And if everyone's drunk enough, I'd put on Hardstyle and you'll have the party of the year.

vALKYR, I noted than mine were Electro or House.

 

I think Mullen mentioned some Techno artist's like Jeff Mills. The genre and description of Techno is too broadly used over the years. Kraftwerk used the term Techno to describe there music since as early as around 1982 as it does come from the word technology and alot of their music sounded and represented technological sounds such as computers, cars, robots etc. Hence them Headlining I Love Techno festival.

 

When I think of Techno, I think of more beat orientated with no lyrics (maybe the odd track) and less melodic. (a bit like Richie Hawtin)

 

I think ya mum may have wanted some good electronic music that would suite a party than specifically Techno. That's why I suggested some Electro-House etc. Would I be right mate?

 

Jekel & Hyde are a good choice. They mix some old-skool Electro with Techno and all sorts. Tracks like Go Bang etc.

 

@technomm: I see what you mean. I hope I didn't sound disrespectful towards you. Maybe I take things too seriously sometimes.

Yea, Electro / House Music is good for parties, especially Hardhouse (melodic techno mixed with dance and lyrics) though somethings nothing can beat the unbelievable slap on your face with Hardstyle.

This man has it down, especially with The Prodigy, bloody legends they are. Got all their albums, and I must say there's no party music quite like The Prodigy, especially their "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned" album.

[Blind Joe Death]

Yeah, I am looking for more of the house type techno with some lyrics and so on. Although I don't mind people recommending hardcore sh*t since I have downloaded some of the stuff you guys have recommended and I have actually come to like techno quite a bit.
