ive been out of the techno loop for a while now. used to have a good friend who was a dj at raves in pa, nj, nyc areas...he actually introduced me to some cool djs like frankie bones, have met mindbender and some others....but anyway...whos good these days?

i came across this guy dj mangoo yesterday and hes not bad and it made me wanna start listenin to techno again. thanks

 

no1 techno sucks lol, the only good song that ever came outta techno is CALLL ON MEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CALLLLL MEEEE

 

depends on what you llike? Techno is techno

there is hardhouse,house,mad house,trance,gabber,vocal trance,chill out,euro,progessive,etc.

you like fast beat with words? no words?? maybe a list of dj's you like now and i can help you out

 

Wait DJ Mango? Were you in NY, think I know him actually.

 

You could always try The Ramones, Amy Winehouse, Jaime Cullum...I know they aren't techno, but hell, you're listening to techno and could use a little range and venture into music.

 

This where everything gets messed up when it comes to techno. You think techno sucks yet you think the 1980's song remixed in 15 minutes by some dude at his computer is amazing?

In order to find good electronic music you have to dig...dig WAY underground. Because the amount of good tracks and DJ's out there compared to the tons upon tons of just absolute SH*T, destroys everything. Even some of the more glorified DJ's like Paul van Dyk, and DJ Tiesto have put out classic stuff in the past.

This is guy is right…you have to look underground if you want to hear anything worthwhile….most mainstream is homogenized and pasteurized to be of little resemblance to real music, just inferior sounds packaged for easy mass consumption.

Its not techno per say, but if you are into techno, try this free streaming psytrance on for size:

been out of the loop here as well...spending a year in seattle was amazing but i certainly dont remember any names =/ except for marco v at some mainstream event. i get a lot of my new stuff off the podcast Rotation by dj addison as well as Trance Tuesday.

 

or try just going to stuff, you're in new jersey. i found this site a few months ago, i dont know how these events are but it's worth a try

DJ Icey is one of my fav. (even though it's more DnB)

 

i really like it all....dnb, progressive, trance, etc. i wish my buddy was still dj'ing cuz i would always go with him. met some awesome ppl and heard some of the most amazing mixes.

i guess i will start my search and see what i can find.

 

Icey isnt DnB, hes more breaks then anything... I enjoy trance, breaks, progressive, vocal trance...

 

the one CD that my ex gave me (not available to the mainstream public) leans towards dnb

I remembered he said breaks but to my ears its DnB

 

AGREED!
