Anyone listen to techno?

[Q]

I've gotten into techno lately (great to listen to while gaming ) and so far I really like the 'band' Tune Up! and listening to some Initial D every once in a while.

Any other good ones you all know of?

Autechre, Venetian Snares, Squarepusher, Richard D. James's Analord compilation cd.

I think Darude's first album, Before the Storm, is pretty good trance. That's the one that has the ubiquitous Sandstorm on it.

Also, Justice is good for noise-house.

Avalanches are okay, if you want to count them.

I second Squarepusher and Richard D. James, who mostly records under the name Aphex Twin.

BT is great. Aura is pretty good too (though too trance-y for me).

 

[Canai]

Infected Mushroom
Hennes & Cold
High Contrast

techno? how about electronica...if so, then the crystal method is a good choice.

I hate being the genre-elitist, but that song isn't techno at all.

It's hardstyle...or close enough (Which even a trance-lover like myself enjoys once n awhile )

If you search youtube for hardstyle, you'll find tons of similar tunage.

Most electronica scenesters i know start out listening to that kinda music, & then delve more into stuff like trance or electro or house, but any good raver will appreciate that kinda tunage even still

Not techno.
Carl Cox, that's techno. (If you need an example)

They have electronic elements to their music, but i wouldn't even consider them electronica.

I'd classify carl cox as hard house personally, but I haven't listened to him in like 4 years


I find real 'techno' primarily to be focused on electronic music created around 88-96ish. After that, it spawned a TON of branches, trance, house, jungle, etc. But real down to earth techno being shit from that earlier period. Hell I'd consider early 'prodigy' to be very techno-ish.

Underworld not so much 'cuz they don't have that 'edge' i usually associate with techno, but i do enjoy their music quite a bit.

 

[ForumMaster]

well not exactly techno, but infected mushroom are very good. they are considered psychedelic rock i believe.

 

[OhSnap688]

Depends on the kind of techno you like. I like hardstyle a lot.

BUT I love Daft Punk <3, Scooter, Basshunter, umm so many more I can't think of right now

 

[DangerAardvark]

I've always wondered what techno would sound like played on actual instruments. Any techno bands like that?

 

[OhSnap688]

Blue Man Group?! haha just kidding I don't know

I actually don't really like Carl Cox at all, but he's the easy example i know of as techno.

Hard house (which apparently now is taboo...everyone wants to call it hard dance for some dumb reason ) would be Lisa Lashes, Anne Savage, that kinda music. (And at their shows, it makes me flail like a wild animal )

The irony of Eminem's "Nobody listens to techno" is largely true; the techno genre is very small these days.

But trance/house & their sub genres are huge of course.

Anyway, i can't believe i'm arguing damn genres.

On the electronica boards i post on, every fourth thread has some stupid genres argument in it...

Electronic music is awesome; let's just say that

 

[Insane3D]

I've always found techno to be the term people who have no idea about electronic music call ANY electronic music.

As a previous poster said, I consider true techno to almost be a thing of the past. When I think techno, I think of tracks from the early to mid 90's.

What genre are Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada and The Chemical Brothers? It's what comes to mind when I think 'techno' and I know I'm probably wrong.
