What was the record that got you into techno?

[serox]

Can you rem the record you heard that made the hairs on your neck stand up? For me i think it was cybersonik - technarchy. http://www.discogs.com/release/15172

At the time i was only into early rave/house records (new beat, hithouse,midtown etc), didnt know what or who cybersonik even was at the time. This record stood out for me bigtime, i had to hear more from this genre and these artists.

[Francisco Scaramanga]

I used to be into well cheesey stuff in the US, Lords of Acid, DJ Keoki, and even worse. Then I moved to the UK, heard CJ Bollands tune, The Prophet, and said wow, whats that! Then someone said if you like that you should go to Atomic Jam - the rest is history.

[Eddie]

Paul Johnson - The Music In Me (Relief)
Armand Van Helden Vs Dj Sneak - Psychic Bounty Killas (Relief)

theres a few crakin tunes on that cd :cool:

[Eddie]

Ah yes sounds of K also used to love the DC remix of freks on hubbard DJ urban you work it could go on all day! The vinyl pack was deffinately one of the best investments i have ever made!

[gumpy green]

not shure on any of my first tracks...

but dave clarke at airborne in edinburgh was a defo the main turning point in gettin me hooked on techno........also the nights called LOST(now dogma) wi the likes of chris liebing, IGT, speedy j.

[yorkie]

i think it was probably a space djz EP that i was given for free whrn i was into proggy stuff.

not sure which 1 but i was given it around July 1999


i was like "Why have they jus' given me this??? It's ace!"

[Luke Logan.]

Knights of the Jaguar was the first to get me on my merry way and then Ben Sims Dj'ing finished the deal.

[serox]

wow, so far many people seem to have got into techno from hearing DJ's play records and some of the later techno records. Cmon, some of you here must show ur age :)

[The Overfiend]

Ok yes I was into Cybotron, Early Mills, The Holy Trinity and Some of the earlier detroit stuff but to be honest I was too far into hip hop to research the music. Some of us took a lil bit of clublife to actually get into the genre, I wasn't a house head persay but I was dancing and raving all over New York before I started to learn the difference between genres.

[Esox Lucius]

probably the clarke mix of hot on the heels of love, which was on the carl cox - fact mix, which was my first introduction to techno.

i wouldnt say it was a single tune that really got me into techno though, it was the agressors tapes from helter skelter technodrome packs that got me proper hooked.

Was going to blurt out a list of cool tunes but Fact 1 is the first techno CD that I heard after beheading my metal persona.

[miss bass]

Umek's Gatex tune -without the beat. First one i heard i guess.

[basslinejunkie]

exactly the same as me,the aggressor an ribbz tapes are what got me in2 techno in the 1st place,unfortunately road rage and a few others are the only tunes ive been able to pick up :cry:

[TripleX]

not a single record, but a fine audio records mix cd.
old schranz sound :lol:

[maily]

got into Aphex twin through John Peel and absolutely loved Quoth, at the time i didn't realise it was techno,

I'd also heard some of the dave clarke mixes from the john peel show, and loved some of those tracks, but didn't know what they were, susequently found out they were:

surgeon - magneze
Bizz od - Get Up (does anyone else know this tune?)
Dave Clarke - Red 3

still love all 3.

after that,

thomas bangalter - trax on da rocks - Outrun!

[Patrick DSP]

I love/loved it all back then, but binary finary's 1998 really pushed me toward techno. ;)

[Col]

no particular record. i think the defining moment for me was listening to an acid techno mix from a dj called ramos (of helterskelter/north fame) i think it was back in 98.

[Honeey]

Dj Misjah - Funky Drive
Yim - A Man In Two Suitcases
Richie Hawtin/Plasticman
got me into the real pure techno

[oldbugger]

not really techno as such but the stuff that got me hooked was tunes like.

beltram - mentasm and energy flash
bassheads - is there anybody out there
i loved all the ragga stuff like SL2 - way in my brain ...etc
marshall jefferson - move your body
2 bad mice - bombscare

[Stella Boy]

I was into hardcore, slammin vinyl kinda stuff, but still bought a few techno bits now and then (mainly on the housier tip like pacific records)but I guess it was DJ Hell's My Definition of House & CJ Bolland's Camargue which turned my attention fully to techno. Mantra is the daddy :cool:

[Tiptoe]

can't remember the bloody name now was midnight tune at orbit for ages when i first stared erm its the justin berkovic tune on the sven vath sounds of the first season cd i think. Anyone got a track listing for that
?

[DJ Corbzy]

Either:

Marko Nastic - Devil in my Pants
Thomas Brunschmidt vs Kramer - Himmelsfeger [Kramer Mix]

that's when I started playing techno in my sets and starting looking more into the genre, plus a cd i got off Mark at the Grove really got the ball rolling for me...

[Metadog]

the liberators cd It's not Intelligent...it's not from Detroit, but it's F**king 'avin it! really fired me up for acid techno

[Frank Dogshit]

that 'buxom mad chips' track was it?? :clap:

thats a wicked track. :love:

[samba]

i'm goin playin'

[Paul Zykotik]

Wasn't a tune, it was the old Dreamscape packs from 94/95 with people like Daz Saund, Alex Hazzard, Trevor Rockliffe, Craig Walsh, Dave Angel etc.

I lived in the south-west at the time and they were really big on techno in 95. In fact one of my favourite tapes is from our very own Mark EG, playing some seriously hard acid, the likes of which I've never heard since.

I would love to know what all those tunes on those tapes were - I don't think I ever will find out though :cry:

[Patrick]

Showing my age here, but for me it was all about this album :

http://stat.discogs.com/R/57919-1082737307.jpg

http://www.discogs.com/release/57919

I'd been to a few parties and heard some techno in amongst the acid house selections and never knew what they were, but finding a cd copy of that album by pure chance in a second hand shop stopped me in my tracks and made me realise that techno was a whole different world.

4th Sign-CJ Bolland

one of many

[Deathfactory]

Mostly tracks I heard a DJ play on the local student radio, although I did buy the odd techno record. As far as I know there was no rave culture in New Zealand, back in the day and I hated clubs, I was into punk and metal gigs.

Maurizio - M4
Robert Armani - Supermarket Sweep
Caustic Window - Garden Of Linmari
Plastikman - Fuk

2nd hand copy of Tresor II Berlin-Detroit A Techno Alliance CD.

Seeing Phil Subhead at Studio 9 in Wellington June 2000.

I would trace my interest in electronic music back to groups/records like Front 242 - Geography, Foetus, Throbbing Gristle - 2nd Annual Report, Cabaret Voltaire - Live Leeds 1979, A Split Second - Smell Of Buddha, blahblahblah.

[ReakZ]

Reck - A Spark of Life(Eukatech)... ;)

[Komplex]

No 1 record got me into techno, it was a natural progression since childhood.

The first tunes I liked were shit like Second phase - Mentasm and LFO-LFO etc. Then later on I started liking Jeff Mills stuff but on the whole it was a step by step process I think. I think my older brother had a bit of an influence exposing me to the electronic stuff, but not the "pure" techno sound.

[maily]

NIN were quite a big influence on me, in that they showed me there was heavy stuff that wasn't metal :twisted:
there was one of their tracks on a tape that came free with select mag....
found it,

NIN - Wish

same tape has got, Disposible heroes of hiphoprisy - calfornia uber alles!!!

and off another tape,

Orbital - Chime/Impact (live) :love:


how the **** could i forget:

LSG - Hearts, still looking for this :lol:

[maily]

shit, that a lot more than 1 record, impossible to nail it down to 1 though :scratch:

[Jav]

Sven Vath... ;)

Somebody make me a mix of all of those records so I can cream myself to sleep please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would someone really make me a mix of these please?

[maily]

yeah man,
if i owned em ;)

[scienceofuse]

I used to only listen to hardcore punk and ska (and some surf music), but the energy I felt when I went to my first techno party was undescribable. I started taping Umek's weekly radio show "Consumer recreation" and got into techno and electro, I started buying records and it went from there.
The first record I bought was Aux 88's "Xeo-genetic", but the first techno track I heard was Umek's "Lanicor" about five years ago, an MP3 off DC's Fuse album... When I went to my first techno party, Kanzyani was spinning and I was immediately hooked... But the funny thing is I started exploring electronic music when I first heard a Thunderdome hardcore compilation... The Massochist "MzKzM" - anyone know this track? Cheeky one :lol:
