[Heinrich I]

Dave Clarke - Red 3 :rambo:

rhythm is rhythm - nude photo
richie hawtin - minus orange
jeff mills - the bells

[dan the acid man]

energy flash ( joey beltram )

spastik ( plastikman )

[Francisco Scaramanga]

No1 biggest ever must be Beltram with energy flash.

After that, The Bells, Strings of Life, and Jaguar

A few other ones that are well old but still get hammered, Surgeon - Magneze, Speedy J - Pannik, Joey Beltram - Forklift, The Advent - Bad Boy, Planetary Assault Systems - In from the Night.

[subsonic]

jeff mills the bells
joey beltram energy flash ;)

[Si the Sigh]

[Si the Sigh]

2Unlimited - No Limits :rambo:~techno techno techno techno!! Now that track was MASSIVE!!

uuummm techno techno techno not techno now is it :lol:

Bollocks! I was fooled by the lyrics... :oops: :roll: :lol: ;)

[serox]

strings of life, energy flash were not big house hits at the time i think? when they first came out i think people thought they were abit to hard, only some time later people started to like them?

[Numeric]

It does have to be Energy Flash by Beltram, classic...

:clap:

[MARKEG]

biggest techno 'hits' hmm.

energy flash
strings of life

there's been loads of other 'hits' but none i can think that crossed over as much as these.

[EX]

cybersonik - technarchy
second phase - mentasm

[wenna]

technohead-i wanna be a hippy!!

[wenna]

no,actually i reckon:

cj bolland-the tingler

[Dustin Zahn]

GOOD LIFE!!! :p

Just kidding, the obvious ones are "Bells" and "Strings of Life"
The only tune I can think of in the last 4 or 5 years that probably had a chance at that status is probably "knights of the jaguar," eh?

[Nick The Kid/Hindsight]

Yeah definitely!

Cybersonik - Technarchy on Champion
& Sperminator with 'No women Allowed'

Always a pleasure to dig these out!

[dan the acid man]

i suppose spastik wasnt technically a hit, but it was in my eyes, just thought i'd clear that up

[Col]

another for beltram - energy flash.

[jonnyspeed]

1. Rez
2. Firestarter
3. Higher States


IMHO

[Methadon]

Definitely THE BELLS :nono:

[jonnyspeed]

All time favourate...

Cluster 02 - Temperature Drop - What Is Soul?

http://www.discogs.com/release/19438

[dan the acid man]

All time favourate...

Cluster 02 - Temperature Drop - What Is Soul?

http://www.discogs.com/release/19438

for me, that tune is all about the hi-hats, absolutely wicked :dance:

[jonnyspeed]

Just one of those must-have london acid tunes. :clap:

[Esox Lucius]

Model 500 - no UFO's
Cybotron - Clear
Suburban Knight - The Art Of Stalking
Club MCM - Club MCM (K.A Happy Mix)
Jeff Mills - Berlin
Surgeon - Magneze

[jonnyspeed]

Just like...

Dynamo City - Urban & Free
Kektex - Inner City junkies

But they are not exactly hits in the mainstream. But like Spastik, what ever rocks your word.


Dan you heard the earlier Fuse stuff by Richie Hawtin. Sockhausen's Kontate and his Helicopter Quartet, too?

[icb]

Umek- lanicor
Jeff Mills- bells
Ben Sims- manipulated(adam beyer rmx)
...and jaguar ofcourse ;)

[Nick The Kid/Hindsight]

Another timeless classic!

Hardfloor - Acperience on Harthouse

:clap: :clap:

[dan the acid man]

not managed to track down too many fuse releases, heard the obvious one substance abuse which is another massive techno hit in my opinion

[serox]

i rem first time i heard psyk played, damn that tune killed me. think thats how u spell it

anyone got it?

[T]

not sure about biggest hit ever but:

CJ Bolland - Spring Yard

use to love that when i first started listening to techno many moons ago. Used to get caned by many dj's.
Still a classic imo....maybe for sentimental reasons though!!

and many of the tunes mentioned already would get my vote

[romelpotter]

jeff mills - the bells
joe t vannelli - play with the voice in usa
jeff mills - suspence ax006
Rhythm is rhythm - strings of life (transmat 1987 vs)

[Jimfish]

im sure its gotta be energy flash and strings of life
maybe followed by the bells, knights of the jaguar, hardfloor acperience or spastik, maybe one or two of the reds and nude photo or summit

[buster]

it has to be:-
Rhythm Is Ryhtm - Icon
-----"--------- - Strings Of Life
Dave Clarke - Red 1
Aphex Twin - Didgery Doo (proberly spelt wrong)
Jeff Mills - Purpose maker Vol 1 ( the whole EP)

[MARKEG]

Suburban Knight - The Art Of Stalking

errm, i think i've just weed myself....

[Sunil]

joe t vannelli - play with the voice in usa


It's brilliant alright, "Play with the voice in Germany" still pisses on it though!!

[ANDROID]

what about MAURO PICOTTO "baguette"? :clap:

[davethedrummer]

CYBOTRON CLEAR
PHUTURE WE ARE PHUTURE
TODD TERRY TO THE BATMOBILE
KREFTWERK AUTOBAHN/COMPUTER WORLD L.P.

SOMETHING SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
OH YEAH AND OF COURSE THE BLOODY BELLS!!!!

ACTUALLYwhy am i writing in capitals?
i really liked steps to enchantment more

oh yeah and
waveform transmissions vol 1

what about fuse / substance abuse
or apex twin digeridoo / analogue bubblebath??

[davethedrummer]

actually here's some more

underworld / cowgirl
orbital chime / belfast
the orb / little fluffy clouds
sabres / smokebelch


you gotta remeber that this was pretty much all classed as "techno" back then the pigeonhols came quite a bit later.

Dont care if some say cheesy. great record. those drum are mad.

I'd have to go with some of Jeff Mills' records, like the Kat Moda EP. And some of the Axis stuff. Also, Kraftwerk - Numbers, bit obvious but hey, its a big record.

UR-Seawolf Mills @ his best with UR

[el_satan666]

umek - f*cking - lanicor.

above ALL else. Sick and f*cking tired of hearing that at every techno night. Damn played to death, then exhumed, played some more, then thrown back into the grave, ass-end up.

Other than that:

strings of life would be in there,
ben simms - manipulated (A few friends have Manipulation syndrome from hearing that too much)

and yeah like other people said "the bells".

[Komplex]

RAVESIGNAL 3-Horsepower (black side remix) all elements together,minimal tekno, acid, ....sends shivers

[BloodStar]

Jeff Mills - Bells
Joey Beltram - Ball Park
Ben Sims - Remanipulated - AdamBeyerRMX

[unclean]

erm, definately......

olga+jozef 005 - b1

[romelpotter]

joe t vannelli - play with the voice in usa


It's brilliant alright, "Play with the voice in Germany" still pisses on it though!!

Cheers big ears

[e-phoria]

I want to mention

DJ Rush - Get On Up (Liebing rmx)

:twisted:

[Kangxi]

What about all the earlyhardcore pressings from Belgium and England back in the rave days? Would anyone consider hoover-ific mogs like T-99's Anistasia or Altern-8's horn madness to be "classic" in any sense of the word? Not sure I would, but those tracks certainly got their grooves cleaned and were instantly recognizable. Think Frank de Wulf. Hell, think Prodigy's "Charley". None of us over here in the States ever had a clue what that sample was all about, but it was relentlessly hammered nonetheless, one could not get around it :lol:

[Knoware]

Obviously "Energy Flash" and "The Bells" are the biggest ever, but im surprised no one mentioned D.H.S. - The House of God.
Definately a classic, and what about Godzilla - The Rose ?

[Gloomy]

dj rush - oh la la (mentalgroove)
beltram - ball park
devilfish - live 99
the advent - sketch 1
speedy j - krikc

... and many many more... :cool:

[Metadog]

i'll have a pint of piss cheers

put a handful of broken glass in there too will ya mate ?

cheers - it get's into the bloodstream quicker that way

[romelpotter]

the advent - bad doy ---class :lol: :lol:

[slimboy]

definitelly
Jeff Mills - Bells
Joey Beltram - Ball Park
Ben Sims - Remanipulated - AdamBeyerRMX

:) Beltram - Ballpark!! Well said, I love that record. Will have to dig it out after work.

2 other personnel faves:

Mills - Step to Enchantment
Beltram - The Start it Up

I'll NEVER tire of hearing those!

[romelpotter]

the advent - bad doy ---class :lol: :lol:


errr bad boy that should read :oops: dam monday mornings ;)

[slimboy]

Luke Slater mix of Beltram - Forklift
Surgeon - Magneze

This is a great track, however it's really hard to mix. I'd remix it but I have no clue about producing. :evil:
