OK, I've just got a slot on Radio 1 next Saturday to 'represent techno in 20 minutes' - well, that's the brief anyway. Basically I've got till next Monday to do it.
So, I was thinking how I would do this. Either I can bung together the usual 6 track mix that every other mofo does or get hot and sweaty in the studio over the next few days and do like an Ableton/Soundforge mash up of a silly amount of tracks that truly represents our genre.
I really like the sound of option 2. So, here's the question:
What are the tracks you would put in a mix like this? I'll try to bung as many of them in as possible as well as my own selection. Let me know you guys :cheese:

i'd go for the mash up option with some well chosen cuts from the best tracks thru the years.
1 track that i'd 100% put in would be
mills - steps to enchantment (stringent) - this to me is the most "techno" track ever

I'd say use Ableton / Soundforge to create a mini mix like the ones they have on Annie Mac's show. Mish mash of all the best bits of techno made into one 20 minute edit.

Chris McCormack's AK47 Remix! ( :) )
Any of the Red Series.
Anything on Corb.
Something with a fat acid line.
Anything from Misjah & Tim's X-Trax EP's 2 & 3 on Aura Records.
Anything on Code Red.
Be nice to hear a London Acid track in there, an early Routemaster.

I'd start in the 90s and try and move through the years, taking an example of as many styles as possible
Would avoid mashups in favour of a DE9 style mix - loops or sections of dozens of tracks overlaid & in sequence.

Yep! I agree with that. Originally Posted by Jay Pace

Other tracks, the Punish with the Mistress Diana samples, and Killabite 1 & 2.
I hope Paul Mac's reading this as his old skool mixes have been awesome. I'd love to hear his ideas for this Radio 1 thingy... :)
This is exciting!! :rockin:

right now, i'm buzzin with ideas :cheese:
i've done mixes for across the years before and they are quite tough to put together, because of the difference in production over the years. i would like it to represent techno but i don't want young ppl to switch off cause the production isnt quite there on some tracks or they sound empty compared to todays standards. i'm thinking. perhaps i could ableton it and then add like more meaty kicks and sparkle up some of the old school top ends. perhaps fill some of the older tracks out by grabbing loops of newer tracks that fit and running them underneath. jesus, the sky is the limit here. hmmm don't want to mess the feeling of the older tracks up either. man, i wont be sleeping tonight hahahah
