90s techno thread

[ManchesterBeth]

nah, never liked the london acid, it's that noisy cut off and compression that sucks all the bass out coupled with that rising trancey oscillator. the dutch acid's where it's at, proper evil.

 

[ManchesterBeth]

the midwest and danish stuff is good as well. really gabba speed stuff but with rolling techno acid lines.

The sound quality isn't that great on youtube to be fair. Never liked gabba

Madonna 303 - Help Me Do Good

I think I went to a party in Goa where they played that non stop for 4 hours.

Can't work out if a diss...

cologne stuff is wicked though. kinda like the anti-trancers trance.

Not at all! Just sounded like the stuff that would play for hours in Goa. We went hoping for house and good times and we got that for hours on end. I like it but I need a piano or vocal break once in a while. Got to get your hands in the air at some point in the evening like.

This is some Danish gabber
Its not 90s but i will leave it here. Because. Its fucking good.

 

[ManchesterBeth]

this is the stuff i was talking about. Lasse Steen/Zekt etc.

Sons Of Gundso - Attenuation

some people will call this a separate genre from techno. i just think it's a logical outgrowth of the 93-94 hard acid sound.

 

[ManchesterBeth]

some of the labworks stuff is/was pretty mental as well. nightmare stalker vibes.

Freddy Fresh - The Fog

Ralf Hertwig of Perry & Rhodan was in New Wave band Palais Schaumburg with Moritz von Oswald (Basic Channel) and Thomas Fehlmann (3MB). Here they are in 1984 :

[Boris Sprinkler]

Subhead - Nordy Boys

yes that is about my favourite track, i used to play it out andit made people either go nuts or run screaming

Check this one too, a neil landstrumm remix of subhead from the same time

 

[rutabowa]

... and this Subhead tribute mix from Signals in Southwark is amazing:

I like a lot of techno, but you listen to some Subhead and realise how 99% of other techno is just plowing quite a narrow well-worn furrow when it has the potential to be way more mental.

i never knew jamie lidell was involved in that tune till a minute ago... or at least that release... it was Subhead 7, i only had a white label and all it said was "subhead 7" on it

Definitely, they were kings of experimental techno, long before the hype machine got on this so-called experimental UK bass techno or whatever. Which I like to be fair. But these guys did it first! and Si Begg.

just found this from 91, as good as anything recent I've heard, easily.
