Since you might want to keep some of the songs, I suggest you listen to DI.FM in Winamp, and download Streamripper. This will allow you to rip the audio from the streams, allowing you to save the songs on your computer. After each song, Streamripper chops it, and saves it, so your not dealing with one huge MP3 file. Sometimes I'll listen to the Hardcore channel, and leave it running overnight with Streamripper running. I'll wake up to 500MB of new techno.

http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/

It's good to see people wanting to get into techno. It's bad enough I'm the only one at my school who listens to it =\
Damn this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you SO much.

Here are some artists that I highly reccomend;
DJ Micro
Adam Freeland
Baby Anne
Paul Oakenfold
Christopher Lawrence
The Crystal Method (Busy Child is NOT their only song, guys)
DJ Icey
DJ Magic Mike (Being serious here)

You really ought to figure out what genre you want to start out with, it will really help. And if you want specific songs that I reccomend, PM me, I don't want to clutter up the thread.

Be aware that using Streamripper results in craptastic sounding MP3s, because you're saving them from <128 kbps streams. Radio bitrates are fine on the radio, but they're a joke if you're actually collecting songs.

Anyway, this topic is gay, but I suppose I will impart the single most useful tool anyone looking to acquire electronic music can possess - Soulseek.

http://www.slsknet.org

The premier P2P network for anything electronic, underground, or both. Highly recommended. My username on there is Moogy_ if any of you fools feel like browsing through my 18025 completely unsorted files (including random hentai and games). There's good stuff for the willing, though! Here's a hint: Downloads\Soulseek

EDIT: Also, 95% of people with DJ in their name suck severely. A lot of trance sucks too.

/disagree

I have a couple gigs worth of 96Kbps music, and it sounds fine. Let's let him decide if it sounds good.

Thread got noob'd.


@Moogy
Most people that have DJ in their name take other people's music that don't have DJ in their name and popularize it. This is a good thing, seeing that it takes a big wave to stir the unpopular depths of techno.

The best techno song is Sandstorm by Darude. Other good ones are the Mortal Kombat theme, Streamline by Newton.

If you think that's the best techno song, you have a LOT of listening to do.
It is pretty good, but there is a lot of better stuff out there. a LOT.

personally, i like gabber

its really hard to find any though.

happy hardcore is also great

if you want a big mix of music, and you feel like paying, get the Happy Hardcore Album

Type Happy Hardcore into amazon, and it'll show up

its 6 cds of all sorts of stuff. not only happy hardcore. its pretty darn good.

go there ---->http://www.di.fm/edmguide/edmguide.html
it explains everything.

And IMO, paul oakenfold is a bit too down paced.

but if you do like that, try Paul van Dyk

Snapple if those are your best picks then you have no idea what true techno is. I'm sorry if that sounds elitist but it's true. Darude is fine for DDR, but is nothing compared to the likes of Venetian Snares, The Flashbulb, Aphex Twin, Emotional Joystick, etc.

Xander, you want good gabber you try DJ Sharpnel. His Gabber is always sexy.

Paul Oakenfield is just.....bleh.

You have no ears. Get an actual sound system of some sort.

Also: Ignore everything else said in this thread and download Venetian Snares - Making Orange Things. Greatest album of all time.

Anything higher than 128 kbps is a waste of space on my harddrive. To me there's hardly any difference with a song that has higher bitrates. Now if I had a harddrive that could store a lot, yes I wouldn't mind that extra space, but I'm running on a 70 GB harddrive here and I'm not the only one in my family who uses this computer.

128 kbps is perfect IMO. 96 kbps is fine, too, there's pretty much no difference.

Yeah, all the mp3s on my computer at 64 kbps...but that's because I am deaf and it doesnt really matter since I cant hear the music...all that matters is that people on Last.fm know that I listen to a lot of Animal Collective thus making me very hip.

On the topic of techno, do any of you have songs that sound like untitled gabber song?

I really like the song, and want more songs like it.
