This is too hard a question to answer! I reckon it's easier to ask what's your favourite R&S, Jeff Mills,Detroit, Swedish record etc?

And in that case then here's a few:

R&S: Ravesignal 3- Horsepower
Jeff Mills: Berlin
UR: Seawolf (This was by Mills too i believe)
Sweden- Beyer/Lekebusch- Steady Motion 1 (The one with the "Rotation" sample")

Recently I've been listening back to older Detroit records (Stardancer/Final Frontier etc.), man they still sound really fresh...

[Bughead]

Yeah should have categorised it a bit better...

[Sunil]

Yeah should have categorised it a bit better...

Ah no, that's just my preference, I'm sure other people could answer it alright

[Esox Lucius]

Richie Hawtin - Minus Orange

[Angrymann]

It's a toughy. Can I just give you a few that I love.

Steve Rachmad Remix on CLR ( think it's CLR 5) .

Fuse v's LFO - "Loop" on Plus 8

Joey Beltram - Energy Flash on R & S

There are loads more , it's well hard to think of any techno tunes at all when try too hard to think about it.

[Bughead]

Heard a house remix of energy flash on white label at the weekend..

pretty good stuff...

[Angrymann]

Who did it??

[Bughead]

Dunno

If I find out I will let you know....

[Bughead]

[Sunil]

One of my faves by him is "Mind Changes", the one with "Lost vessels" on , that's a beautiful record.

[Bughead]

Yeah I know, I should have categorised it a bit better...
Its just the choon I mentioned is a unique timeless piece that appeals on so many levels, works well in a hard set, a funky one a club environment and has the line running through it " what is techno"

Peace

[Sunil]

One of my faves too. His long awaited recent album though was such an anti climax

[JACKSTAR]

DJ Bam Bam : Sneaky Bastard (Contaminated) 2002

DJ Rush : Punch it (Djax) 1996

Angel Alanis : Pimp Player 1999 mix (JasperStone) 1999

Beast Tamer : Volume 1 (Drumcode 7) 1997

VapourSpace : Gravitational arch of Ten (Internal) 1993

[Sunil]

VapourSpace : Gravitational arch of Ten (Internal) 1993

Aw man, what a ****in track. I'd say many DJ's of the time started their sets with this...

[Sunil]

Beast Tamer : Volume 1 (Drumcode 7) 1997



Who produced this, never knew?

[DJ Corbzy]

I dont know that much about techno, but I'm getting right into it more now, but I'm gonna have to go with Lecker Madche....tune! :D

[anx]

Beast Tamer : Volume 1 (Drumcode 7) 1997



Who produced this, never knew?

[Bughead]

[JACKSTAR]

Sunil : You are right most people did start there sets with VapourSpace I did when I played in year 2000 at a night in Basel, Switzerland and I still get goosebumps now thinking about it.

Drumcode 7 : i'm not sure if it was Beyer that made that record but it sounds nothing like any other Drumcode records, it kinda has the chicago element to it but with some nasty distortion chucked in for good measure.

[DJZeMig_L]

not sure here but maybe Lenk (aka Cari lekebush is i'm not mistaken)...

Z

[TripleX]

Glenn Wilson -the process
Dj Rush -breakthrough
Headroom -insanity lurks....
Richi Hawtin -Orange
Dj Amok´s rmx of yaguar :shock:

[Adverse]

lenk is jesper dahlbeck.

[Sunil]

lenk is jesper dahlbeck.

Indeed. My favourite Swedish producer at the moment by a mile, he's vastly underrated

Wow I'd say so! That record is a real memory jerker for me, have it on an old tape by DJ Dagg (!) from some rave in Frankfurt in 93, remember picking it up on record a while back and going "Nice one! I don't believe it, deadly! :)"

Yeah that Beast Tamer was great but it didn't sound quite like any of the Drumcode artists of the time. Hmmm, the trainspotter in me wants to find out for sure!

[Adverse]

headroom - organic anagram.. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

i don't believe in the best tune ever, but it's one is hands down murder.

[Sunil]

Dj Rush -breakthrough
:

I always preferred "Maniac".

[John Vella]

this is a question that can't be really answered

heres why

every year a new tune comes out that your APE SHIT over.... there's always a track that comes out that becomes "YOUR FAVORITE OF ALLLLLLLLLLLLL TIME"

I remember when UNLUCKY PUNK was my all time fav tune!! I thought "NEVER WILL I LIKE ANYTHING MORE THAN THIS!!!!!!!!!"

then Mark Tyler remixed AK47 and I was all over that!!

then HEROES #1 came out........ same thing

now HYRRO 17 has me in shambles!! (specially when the KICK fattens up half way thru!!!!! DROOOLLLLLLLLLLL)

so does BOA 7!! LOVE ALL 4 tracks............

See this passion.... it never ends!

I LOVE IT ALL EQUALLY NOW!

All these great tunes are like our children..........

Like MarkEG said to me once "Different music for different times of the day!!"

[ampassasinbirmingham]

spiral, ure advatar got me thinking about something someone said to me. apparently you can stand on a technic platter and it will spin u round? i know they r weighty and robust but that robust?

wouldnt suprise me if they did though.

[DJ Corbzy]

I dont reckon it would spin round....

to much pressure on that little direct drive...

[massplanck]

Thomas Schumachers remix of 'the search goes on' on LPP.

I'm sure I heard of a guy at a DMC compo (or the likes) balancing himself on one hand on his deck and spinning himself round. 8)

[krakp0t]

"titan" - UR (mills / hood) - UR / tresor
"edelweiss" - the acid junkies - play it loud
"plasmids" - tata box inhibitors - vernoth
"the seawolf" - UR (mills / banks) - UR
"the bells" - j. mills - axis
"jupiter jazz" - UR (banks) - UR

too many to count.

[Angrymann]

RAW 02 - Played it last night and forgot how ****ing brilliant it is. You think the track has given you all it is going to and then boom , something else that makes you either , smile , grit your teeth or dance you ass off. QUALITY :P :P :P

[ampassasinbirmingham]

If tanga. the one without the beat.

[Angrymann]

It's the one that sounds very similar to parts of Miuns Orange towards the end of the record. It's on the RAW label side as opposed to the side with the info on it!!!.

Another old Virus fave :wink:

Probably why I like it so much...
Virus were the Godfathers of wonky techno...

[jourdain]

Though one:

Johannes Heil - Die Eigene Achse
The Advent - Bad Boy
Underground Resistance - Rave New World
DBX - Losing Control

[Kangxi]

These may not be my absolute individual chart-toppers, but they stick out in my mind because techno seemed so powerful, rich and boundless to me at the time.

Do any of you remember a release on Global Ambition under the name Woodpeckers 3? The production was wierd, distant, almost like you were hearing the track from across a field (yet the percussion was crisp and solid enough to easily hold up in a club). Dunno, je nais se quoi

Another fave is the Microwave Prince release on Le Petite Prince due to the insane whine all throughout the A-side (or is it the flip? its LPP 50; go now and check it for yourself).

Ah balls, there are so many great ones I've never even heard :(

[The Overfiend]

can anyone help me with this? petduo used it on one of their mixes.

[Barely Human]

Mine would have to be Overdoxx- **** You. Cant get enough of that screaming distorted synth! Plus its hard as hell(just the way i like it!)
