I love techno - Page 6

5 pages and no respect for Depeche Mode? I'm pretty sure musical perfection was achieved with 'Enjoy the Silence' - the music industry has been in a death dive ever since.

Perfection was already before Enjoy the Silence

I'm a big fan of EDM as well actually. I used to work quite a few gigs as a sound engineer for some smaller DJ's that came threw clubs here. (Even though I was well under 18... hahahaha!) It's pretty interesting how big it's gotten in the last 4-5 years though. (It also amazes me that there are other people in the same vein as me on this forum!)

That being said I don't do much writing for it any more since I'm in a full time grindcore band...

I did really enjoy using Reason though, that program was really cool and super versatile. I did eventually move on to Logic about 2 years ago which I haven't played around with too much.

Awesome band, but nothing to do with Techno (in the pure sense)

It's really weird how music tastes evolve. From EDM to grindcore!!!

Me for example: I started playing piano at 5 (classic stuff).
Then I randomly picked CD's from my parent collection when I was around 10 yo: dire straits, led zeppelin, Pink Floyd.
At 14 I was a die hard Nirvana and Pearl Jam fan.
At 15 It was all about Metallica, Sepultura and Machinehead
At 16, well Prodigy took over everything.
Then at 17 Cherry Moon trax and techno won the game.
Of course I still listen to the floyd's and other stuff, but the evolution was really weird and funny I guess

Hahaha definitely! You have a pretty cool "evolution" of music!

You guys looking for music know about beatport right?

ramos77 · 09-21-2012, 06:29 AM

beatport is the devil IMO

TennisLovaLova · 09-21-2012, 06:45 AM

Bearport is great to buy online
You can basically find any hot track on that site
But soulseek is free and you have tons and tons of old tracks also on it

Dharmaboy · 09-21-2012, 06:48 AM

Yup, 2nd that on Beatport. All my traxx have come from Beatport for any of the home mixes I make. The fact they give you key, bpm and sort by Genre make the site a pleasure plus the sample bit of each song having a chorus and drop is great for any aspiring DJ out there.

Hey! I already posted this!!!
Glad to see we have the same tastes

In 1996, I was in SFO. We guys used to drive quite a bit and there was some radio channel which had some very nice instrumental music. We all liked it. Soothing, uplifting...

After returning home, I forgot about it for many years. But in the last year or so, I've grown tired of everything I've been hearing all these years. I've been searching for new stuff, mostly instrumental and relaxing. I've tried umpteen YT's and channels on iTunes, but never found that music i heard in SFO.

Some of it is close but it's not the same. Anyone have any idea how i can find this out. e.g. how can i find out what radio channels the Bay Area (SFO/Redwood City) had in 1996 ?

The genres that seem close could be chillout/smooth jazz but it's not quite the same.

Search for the Mushroom Jazz comps. Mark Farina compiled them and they're legendary in that sort of style (by the way you explain it at least).

I could not find any play options in your links. I am checking out Mark Farina on YT and its vocal stuff, whereas what I am talking about is purely instrumental. MF is a bit like rap. And no that did not have saxophones.
