Crystal Method, the album with busy child on it. That album has a lot of good tracks.

And Prodigy "Fat of the Land"

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

I enjoy Mark Farina's stuff. "Air Farina" is an exception -- I didn't like it as much as his other stuff.

Terrence Parker is also one of my faves.

wtf is techno? can you be more specific. If you are merely referring to dance music you must realize there are dozens of sub genres with good albums with in each.

Obviously you have names like Paul Oakenfold...but for some more underground type of things, check out a couple of the following...

Gabriel and Dresden
Dope Smugglaz
DJ Tiesto
DJ Yoda
DJ Greenpeace

Those are a couple of my personal favorites...

England radio station called "BBC" has a couple saturday night shows that are different genres of techno. There is a mixture of house, DnB, trance, jungle, acid house....etc. The only site I know to get all of these recordings costs some money, but here is the link

Yeah it is probably important to note that in popular culture "techno" is used as a broad term standing for electronic dance music in general. Terrence Parker and Mark Farina are house DJ's. "Techno" is actually a specific sub-genre in electronica, like "house" and "trance," etc. (edit: not saying that you don't already know this, absolu7)

If OP is looking specifically for techno, or simply popular electronica regardless of its genre, he should be clear about it.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

http://di.fm is a good source for streaming electronica, and it categorizes the channels by genre.

 

[tweakmm]

What is your definition of "techno" because everyone and their mom seems to think that anything with a drum machine and synthesizer is techno.

There are ridiculous amounts of genres and sub genres for electronic music with "technical" techno making up a very small part.

both are a lyrical trance/house mix. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Music is all taste and opinion. I was giving him some mellow trance sub-genres because most people can't handle hard DnB or something if they are just starting to listen to it. Grow up.

There are a redicuolous amounts of genres and sub genres for electronic music.

there used to be a site about electronica that had about 50-100 genres of techno/electronica and explaining what each were. I will link it if i can find it in the next couple minutes.

 

[Canai]

Pretty much anything on Tracid Traxxx, anything by Infected Mushroom (especially Classical Mushroom)

 

[absolu7]

if OP doesn't know electronic music he'll probably like Tiesto, as well as Oakenfold, Carl Cox, Sash + Digweed, etc. etc.

in all honesty i'd recommend just looking for some torrents of Radio 1 Essential mixes as a starter to see what he might like
