Luke's Anger
Jason Leach esp. Death By Vinyl EP
Labrat Audio

else try stuff on Expressillion or Mutant Sniper like... Toe Cutter, if you want something harder.

[1992]

Didn't know this thread was still kicking around. I've been listening to some of the suggestions here, still not finished. Seems to be that the style of hard techno that I am looking for doesn't exist yet or when it existed last it was 1993. Most of the suggestions are like funkey breaks which don't have a 4/4 909 downbeat like techno does. The sound I'm looking for is more or less identical to something like Andre Walter or Mike Humphries but with an amen or think running in the background (chopped up or played straight) for midrange and high frequency percussion fill giving it a more dancy feel. The only recent track I heard (and apparently its not that recent) that even comes slightly close is regis - ausgang and I don't even think thats an amen but it has a simmilar feel.

[1992]

Regular hard techno tempo (not gabba)

Ah right - not too sure where you'll find out like that.

The whole hardtek/tribe & breakcore scene meets this criteria, but starts at about 170-180 BPM - any slower than that and it will become difficult to get the breaks in at half speed (I would have thought) and you'd end up using more hip-hop sounds than breaks.

I've just started to play around with production, so I do stand to be corrected here, but I know (or think I know) from what I've heard in the past, and from the work I've been doing myself, that there is plenty out there at the higher tempo's of 170-180BPM and it is a pretty commonly used idea – one that I intend to use myself a great deal and that the persons mentioned in this thread have already explored.

I do like the idea of getting the speed down to hard techno speed though and employing breaks in the same way in there, so if you do find anyone doing it I'd be very interested if you could recommend. I would have thought you'd need to either use really slow breaks – right down to hip-hop/trip-hop speed, or else use breaks at over 140BPM and get the techno going along at an identical speed.

[Mindful]

just program your own breaks Kai mate.

- nice one Ste - as I said I stand to be corrected, but its only by talking aout such things that I'll ever learn.
