Just wondering what yiz yer opinions are on the the best techno track ever...

And sorry if this has been done before....

I suppose mine would have to be

GTO "Kardiophunk and the Seventh Wave, What is Techno" on React...

This is too hard a question to answer! I reckon it's easier to ask what's your favourite R&S, Jeff Mills,Detroit, Swedish record etc?

And in that case then here's a few:

R&S: Ravesignal 3- Horsepower
Jeff Mills: Berlin
UR: Seawolf (This was by Mills too i believe)
Sweden- Beyer/Lekebusch- Steady Motion 1 (The one with the "Rotation" sample")

Recently I've been listening back to older Detroit records (Stardancer/Final Frontier etc.), man they still sound really fresh...

It's a toughy. Can I just give you a few that I love.

Steve Rachmad Remix on CLR ( think it's CLR 5) .

Fuse v's LFO - "Loop" on Plus 8

Joey Beltram - Energy Flash on R & S

There are loads more , it's well hard to think of any techno tunes at all when try too hard to think about it.

One of my faves by him is "Mind Changes", the one with "Lost vessels" on , that's a beautiful record.

Yeah I know, I should have categorised it a bit better...
Its just the choon I mentioned is a unique timeless piece that appeals on so many levels, works well in a hard set, a funky one a club environment and has the line running through it " what is techno"

Indeed. My favourite Swedish producer at the moment by a mile, he's vastly underrated

Sunil

01-08-2003, 03:35 AM

Sunil : You are right most people did start there sets with VapourSpace I did when I played in year 2000 at a night in Basel, Switzerland and I still get goosebumps now thinking about it.

Drumcode 7 : i'm not sure if it was Beyer that made that record but it sounds nothing like any other Drumcode records, it kinda has the chicago element to it but with some nasty distortion chucked in for good measure.

Wow I'd say so! That record is a real memory jerker for me, have it on an old tape by DJ Dagg (!) from some rave in Frankfurt in 93, remember picking it up on record a while back and going "Nice one! I don't believe it, deadly! :)"

Yeah that Beast Tamer was great but it didn't sound quite like any of the Drumcode artists of the time. Hmmm, the trainspotter in me wants to find out for sure!

this is a question that can't be really answered

heres why

every year a new tune comes out that your APE SHIT over.... there's always a track that comes out that becomes "YOUR FAVORITE OF ALLLLLLLLLLLLL TIME"

I remember when UNLUCKY PUNK was my all time fav tune!! I thought "NEVER WILL I LIKE ANYTHING MORE THAN THIS!!!!!!!!!"

then Mark Tyler remixed AK47 and I was all over that!!

then HEROES #1 came out........ same thing

now HYRRO 17 has me in shambles!! (specially when the KICK fattens up half way thru!!!!! DROOOLLLLLLLLLLL)

so does BOA 7!! LOVE ALL 4 tracks............

See this passion.... it never ends!

I LOVE IT ALL EQUALLY NOW!

All these great tunes are like our children..........

Like MarkEG said to me once "Different music for different times of the day!!"

spiral, ure advatar got me thinking about something someone said to me. apparently you can stand on a technic platter and it will spin u round? i know they r weighty and robust but that robust?

wouldnt suprise me if they did though.

I'm sure I heard of a guy at a DMC compo (or the likes) balancing himself on one hand on his deck and spinning himself round. 8)

These may not be my absolute individual chart-toppers, but they stick out in my mind because techno seemed so powerful, rich and boundless to me at the time.

Do any of you remember a release on Global Ambition under the name Woodpeckers 3? The production was wierd, distant, almost like you were hearing the track from across a field (yet the percussion was crisp and solid enough to easily hold up in a club). Dunno, je nais se quoi

Another fave is the Microwave Prince release on Le Petite Prince due to the insane whine all throughout the A-side (or is it the flip? its LPP 50; go now and check it for yourself).

Ah balls, there are so many great ones I've never even heard :(
