"shite" moments..

stacy pullen

kenny larkin

theo parrish

carl craig

underground resistance

jeff mills (wheres my rabbit ? is a purpose maker track)

mad mike

redplanet stuff

kevin saunderson..e-dancer

octave-one

anthony shakir

drexciya

suburban knight

err theres a few i can think of off the top of me head

Jeff Mills, Underground Resistance,Kevin Saunderson, gooooooooood! biggrin_o.gifyay.gif

Can't say I've heard any of the others' stuff, except Carl Craig (bit too experimental and 'soft' for me)

Ultimate respect to Jeff Mills for being the only DJ I've seen to play DK8 - Murder Was The Bass! biggrin_o.gifbiggrin_o.gifnotworthy.gifyay.gif

yer i know what you mean about carl craig's stuff his albums are a bit hit n miss if your in the mood for some good honest techno tracks although landcruising is a good album

its usually the case tho with most "dance" artist/dj's when they make albums they tend to try and show you "what else they can do" and it usually turns out a bit shite when your wanting some cutting dance tracks which you know them for..

"mad" mike banks, robert hood and jeff mills started UR back in the day but then jeff mills left..

redplanet is a quite secretive sister label to UR

relasing stuff by "the martian" at a rate of about 1 a year since 1991 nobody knows/knew who the martian is although in 2000 ish they released a compilation "best of" CD and put a name to them although that could have just been more misinformation..people just thought it was mad mike making it all..

kenny larkin goes under different names "dark comedy" being the most well known one..noted as one of the most influential techno artists ever

stacy pullen i reccomend checking out an album called "the collected works of kosmic messenger"

"magic" juan atkins aka "cybertron" and "model 500" should need no introduction as it was him ,derrick may and kevin saunderson that invented "techno" in the first place.

err google the rest i'm sick of typing tounge2.gif

or check here for all things detroit http://www.submerge.com/

quite cheap ...till you add the shipping cost crazy_o.gif

I've recently taken my love of techno to the next level and started mixing (on a m8s equipment though) and I've started my vinyl collection. So far I've got

Agoria - The Sky Is Clear

Agoria - Kofea

Collabs 3000 (Chris Liebing vs. Speedy J) - Tunox

Nathan Fake - The Sky Was Pink (includes Live version, Icelandic mix and James Holden mix)

Alex Smoke - Don't See The Point

As you can see, the majority of my collection is mnml techno, and some harder techno with Collabs 3000, which are the two genres I prefer.

ah right nice one wink_o.gif

i been dj'ing since early 90's although the last 3 or 4 years ive been having some time off (this ofp'ing and computer geekery didn't help either tounge2.gif )hence being a bit out of touch with the techno scene (altho techno isn't my only love )

ive moved house a lot in the last couple of years aswell so haven't really had my gear set up

been getting back into the swing of things recently tho set my decks up temporarily on the floor crazy_o.gif

and sorting thru me records throwing out crate loads of shit + giving some away to me m8's..

i got some money put aside to buy a new computer and its so tempting to go on a massive record buying binge tounge2.gif

Hahaha yeah tell me bout it. I'm like a fat kid in a sweet shop whenever I enter a vinyl shop... And I don't even have my own decks crazy_o.giftounge2.gif

So what's your other loved genre you speak of? My mate (who got me into DJing) is a total UK hard dance and trance/prog trance/hard trance addict and has a heap load of Tidy vinyls and Electronic Elements (Marcus Schulz' label), and after experiencing UK hard dance this weekend at DV (Lisa Lashes, Anne Savage, K90, Dark By Design) I gotta say I'm liking it more n more.

P.S.

If you're looking to offload more vinyls, they'd be more than welcome here tounge2.gifwhistle.gif

well i dont really stick to one genre..i like all sorts of music.. theres good stuff in all genres aswell as utter crap.

i like everything from jazz , classical , soul , funk ,disco, rock, folk ,deep house, techno ,electro ,weird electronica,music that sounds like someone throwing a drumkit down some stairs ..just what ever floats my boat really.. there is really only 2 types of music "good" and "bad"

I have barely heard Guthrie but he gets my respect just for the sticker on his guitar. wink_o.gif

Their record company, <a href="www.djurandmir.se" target="_blank">Djur and Mir recordings</a> (http://smk.ko2000.nu/dam/index.php?MainShop) have their CD's up for grabs for 5 to 11 euros a pop, and I think they deliver to the US, which I'm not sure that CDON does.. Whilst you're there check out 50hz and planktron aswell! smile_o.gif
