I've always liked techno a good bit, but I have never actualy known any good bands/whatever.

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, as far as what I like :

 

 

 

 

 

I love the instrumental stuff that is in Half life 2. The techno in that game is great (its short, not an actual song but I like it.) I'm currious if there is anything like that (I realy have no idea what the word would be for it, but half life 2 has a bit 'heavier' techno you could say... if that's realy possible).

 

 

 

 

 

I'm also a huge metal head (all kinds of metal) if that helps for recomendations.

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully some of you out there will be able to recomend some good stuff to me. :)

I occasionally run across a lot of german techno bands out there.

 

 

 

A lot of them are pretty good!

 

 

 

Don't know any names though... :?

look for the stuff from the Matrix.. :P

hmm... still need names though ><.

 

 

 

Might do some searching around.

"conga furry"

 

 

 

just look for the composers who did that, im sure u can google it or find it at IMDB or whatever.

edit: LP you hit the jackpot!. If you were a female or I way ghey i'd kiss you right now. :oops:

common, anyone else even listen to techno and want to give recomendations? :oops:

I'm not really an expert, maybe you should check out UNDERWORLD. Maybe they're a bit what you're looking for. I'll ask some friends when I see them; they vissit a lot of techno parties and they're really 'into it'. I bet they can give me some albums that are worth it to check out. :)

Streamline

 

Crazy frog

Techno I listen to includes Voodoo & Serano and DJ Sammy.

Not sure if im right on these, but you could also try such dj' as Paul Oakenfold or DJ Tiesto

I'm a big metalhead myself. :D

 

 

 

Tiesto is a good techno Dj, he's pretty big in the techno underworld.

 

Daft Punk and Dirty Vegas are two techno bands who've had a few hits in the mainstream.

 

Some unknown, yet good bands are Acidiks, 9 Feet of Smoke, Kess St. Kess, and Audioholic.

 

 

 

Purevolume and My space are good sites for looking up fresh underground music. And some bands allow you to download them. Therefore putting them onto your ipod/mp3 player.

Days Go By- Dirty Vegas, the only Dirty Vegas song i have on my playlist and i like it.

Nadril, what kind of techno do you like? Ones with lyrics or without, or both? I like both, but if you dont mind those without, i might be able to find you some techno sounding music wich is just remixes of FF songs. They are usaly preatty good.

What? :?

Why haven't I noticed this thread before? I'm a techno-junkie.

 

Pendulum.

 

= junlge

 

But true, it's fantastic, I love it. If you like that, you MUST get some stuff from Aphrodite as well. Some of The Prodigy's work is great jungle/techno as well.

 

 

 

sandstorm

 

 

 

Harder, better, faster, strong...

Sandstorm? That's from Darude, right? That's certainly no techno, it's house, or perhaps you could say it's trance. Pretty much crap IMHO... Even I can make that with the right program. It's like that overhyped DJ Tiesto =;

 

 

 

My advice: if you really want to get into techno, go for some electro first. Kraftwerk of course are the pioneers, but if you're easily distracted, it gets kinda boring after a while. You should also try Daft Punk, the Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Fatboy Slim, the more mainstream stuff. Some good DJs are DJ Shadow, DJ Hell, Dave Clarke, Miss Kittin, Sven VÃÆÃâÃâäth, Richie Hawtin, Marco Bailey, T. Raumschmiere, Roger Sanchez, Laurent Garnier, Fisherspooner, Vitalic, Tiga, 2 Many DJs (aka Soulwax, inventors of the mash-ups), LCD Sounsystem, ...

 

 

 

If you like a mix of softer techno with rock, post-rock is what you need. Sigur RÃÆÃâÃâós, Massive Attack, Mogwai... Absolutely fantastic music.
