Old Techno Recommendations

I got this ancient Techno song stuck in my head the other day. Did some research and figured out what the song was.

Anybody have recommendations for some old Techno to check out? The old stuff is sounding good right now.

It's not really that old (only about 10 years), but the Slaughter Club track from Hitman Contracts (not the slaughterhouse background track - this one plays around the stage's dancefloor) is kinda interesting. It's pretty long so most Youtube vids have it cut down in size, however.

I also posted a link to this in pixelcorps' thread, mainly for lulz. It's guaranteed to fuck up your brain.

p.s. Is your avatar part of a pic by Dali? Wondering what painting it could be from.

Yeah, it’s The Face of War by Dali. Birth of New Man is my favorite Dali painting. I dig surrealist stuff.

That Slaughter Club track has some interesting change ups.

The Michigan native, Robotron, has the best suggestions in my opinion. On the detroit stuff, anything by the majority of submerge and metroplex artists is good as far as older techno is concerned (Underground Resistance, Mad Mike, Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, Suburban Knight, Rolando, Aquanauts, Chaos, Andre Holland, Unknown Soldier). Oh yeah, and Robert Hood's label M-Plant...Dudes like Claude Young, and also Anthony Shakir (Frictional). To a lesser extent, Richie Hawtin and all of his Plus 8 and Minus stuff.

Besides Dan Bell aka DBX, Drexciya is my favorite of the Detroit people though. They ended up making stuff under a ton of aliases (Elektroids, Shifted Phases, Transllusion, The Other People Place, Dopplereffekt, Arpanet, Der Zyklus, Lab Rat XL, to name a few of them).

I would also agree with the Basic Channel suggestion. People still follow that template now ten years or more after a lot of it was made.

A lot of dutch acid and electro from the late 90's was very nice. Labels like Bunker, Clone, Acid Planet. Artists like Pametex, Orgue Electronique, Unit Moebius, Legowelt, etc.

Another suggestion would be to seek out anything on the label, Perlon, from 2004 on back. There have been good releases since then but also a lot of whatever stuff too.

I won't get into too much, (I was at one time a walking encyclopedia of electronic music) because I could write forever and bore you all.

My suggestion would be to skip all the mid 90's British rave crap though, and a majority of breaks and trance. That stuff is for people with bad taste and/or a head full of shitty drugs.

So that's where the "atomic playboy" sample in 2nd Reality comes from, or is it originally from somewhere else?

CIT · Post by **CIT** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 11:58 am

What ROBOTRON and Joe T. said.

All the Detroit stuff: basically anything by Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance, Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, etc.

yeah for real what a dick . Breaks covers a massive spectrum unless your talking about nu skool breakz specifically or are you suggesting everything involving breakbeats is for people with bad taste?

I love all these old Tom and Jerry records (old 4hero alias)
that guy on youtube has a ton of em.

+1 to the Drexciya recommendation, I just got "The Quest" again, 2CD comp. I love the little universe they made around their project.

"Their name referred to a myth comparable to Plato's myth of Atlantis, which the group revealed in the sleeve notes to their 1997 album The Quest. “Drexciya” was an underwater country populated by the unborn children of pregnant African women thrown off of slave ships that had adapted to breathe underwater in their mother's wombs."

Sorry to break your hearts, guys. To be honest, I can't stand the majority of techno anymore either.

If you read carefully though, I did say "a majority", and not all.

As far as elitism goes, well I guess that's true to some extent. Would you rather read someone stating that they like everything? What's wrong with having a discernible taste in a niche genre of music and passing that opinion along?

Tell me that some of the stuff I mentioned is lame. I'll act like my feelings are hurt too if it will cheer you up.

I sold my copy of that for big money back when I was broke as shit. I have a majority of the UR and Submerge EPs that made up most of the 2 cds though. Great stuff. There is a radio interview that Liz Copeland did with James Stinson not long before he died that was very interesting. I'm sure it's on youtube now somewhere.

I still spin tracks from Propellerheads' "Decksanddrumsandrockandroll" on a regular basis. Can't go wrong w/ that one!

Never been a fan of techno, but Pump Panel's reconstruction mix of New Order - Confusion is brilliant http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Udn51qJwDvY

Its the song off the start of Blade.

It sort of is - public domain sampled the original new order song to make their song. To make things a bit more confusing the reconstruction mix is actually a mix of pump panel's classic mid ninties acid techno song called Ego Acid!

LOL. Did you get this information off of Wikipedia? I have both tracks (New Order - Pump Panel Reconstruction mix, Cari Lekebusch mix on the flip and Pump Panel - Ego Acid on 12" ) and though the production is somewhat similar, so are many other acid track productions. But they are NOT the same track. Why not throw in Josh Wink's "Lumpy Oatmeal" while your at it? As Public Domain sampled one of his track for another one of their "club bombs".

Public Domain's track is just a commercial re-hash of the Pump Panel acid riff (as most non-techno folks who'll hear the Pump Panel version will get tired of it after about 1 minute or what the duration of it used in the Blade film was). In fact, production wise, it's really well done.

Other great acid tracks:
Solar Quest - Acid Air Raid (George's all nighter mix)
Terratropin - Get Out!
Acrid Abeyance (Get all their tracks, great stuff)

Just what I was told by a mate (who is actually a techno fan - I'll have to correct him then!). I've not heard Ego acid in years so just believed him. I'll have to track it down and listen to it again - can't even remember what it goes like now!
