hi

 

i'm currently getting more and more into techno and would like some recommendations. i'm not looking for acid techno, freetekno, techtrance, minimal techno and the like, just plain, real techno. probably i'm still unknowlegable about some of the great classics from the 90s. but mainly i'm also looking for more mechanical, harder sound, maybe with a sort of warehouse vibe to it.

 

here are some examples of what i think is good techno (probably influenced a bit from my obvious psy background ) :

 

 

or kopfuss resonator - monokiller, but i can't find that one on youtube.

 

 

i'm sure that some of you have great tracks to share and pointers into directions that can help me with my search

I would like this as well. Feel like I've missed out on a lot of good stuff cus I've been to focused on trance.
I checked some dark electro and industrial techno on digitally imported which has a lot of great stuff.
Listening to a radiostation like DI.fm really is a good thing to do to get ideas.
They usually have top notch music and a lot of genres.

I just remembered this album which has a number of beautiful tracks

 

OST - Hackers

http://www.discogs.c...rs/master/65143

 

some of the best on it imo are

Underworld - Cowgirl

Leftfield - Open Up

Orbital - Halcyon and On

 

and ofc goes without saying Prodigy - Voodo People + One Love

[Padmapani]

thanks everyone for the suggestions, again there were a few good ones. and i've noticed it's far harder to find techno on the internet than psy. most of the time there's only vinyl or mixtapes...

 

@aliendna

orbital and prodigy sure are good music, but i'm not sure i would call that techno.

 

 

to anyone interested, i'll post some of my (unrelated) finds here:

 

http://www.discogs.c.../release/115593 (again, no youtube. why!?! the title track at least is great)

 

 

 

 

although this last one would be a million times better if they wouldn't repeat that speech sample all the time.

 

 

interestingly, the majority of the tracks i like most are still tracks usually 303-less track played in acid techno sets (by djs like for instance chris liberator, ddr, dave the drummer) inbetween real acid techno. (well, i do love acid techno at least just as much, but i'm looking for techno beyond acid here. there has to be many times as much good music without tb-303 ). is there a name for this (imho very distinctive) style?

I've never been too fond of techno but this track is amazing. I would appreciate some recommendations in the same vein. What kind of techno is this?
