SomeCallMeTim
08.01.23 | I would like to recommend the albums Satyricon and Subliminal Sandwich by Meat Beat Manifesto, breakbeat with an industrial/trip-hop vibe |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.01.23 | Heard Subliminal Sandwich and it's pretty good but
"breakbeat with an industrial/trip-hop vibe"
not really techno innit |
SomeCallMeTim
08.01.23 | mmmm i always thought of the term techno as not having a lot of meaning behind it and that its bounds can be far reaching as opposed to 'electronic'. but not gonna defend my shitty take cuz electronic music in general isn't my general area. actually reading your first comment now, maybe..
murcof - remembranza |
AsleepInTheBack
08.01.23 | Commenting to follow the journey I still know not enough about electronic to participate rip |
SomeCallMeTim
08.01.23 | actually, Utopia by Murcof may be better than Remembranza. I'll stop now |
Mort.
08.01.23 | 'breakbeat with an industrial/trip-hop vibe'
i have a friend that swears its all the same and it aggs me to no end
goddamit breakbeat is not techno |
SomeCallMeTim
08.01.23 | doing some research on it now, can definitely tell its not the same at all. my knowledge of 'techno' was based off of a Deviant rant some years ago where he wrote off the term entirely. So I take back my first comment obv |
Hyperion1001
08.01.23 | based deviant come back brother we need you
also some really great recs in this thread proud of you all |
jrlikestodance

Mort.
08.02.23 | oh god please johnny why cant you be nice to me
|
Dedes
08.03.23 | @johnny
My understanding of breaks/breakbeat is that it was an offshoot of techno so I thought maybe it was narrowly safe but uhhhhhhhhhhhh idk i'm probably in the wrong space here you can completely rescind me i have nothing lmao |
RabbitSeason
08.03.23 | Longtime lurker wanting to share in the sharing
Rival Consoles - Now Is
Assuming that's techYES
|
Dedes
08.03.23 | But if you jam it anyway I will personally give you a 3 dollar off coupon for a BK whopper |
Butkuiss
08.03.23 | I wouldn’t say breakbeat is an offshoot of techno at all…more like a parallel evolution, with breakbeat and jungle evolving from hip-hop’s looping and sampling of jazz and funk breaks.
Wrt synthesis vs sampling breaks is probably actually closer to house in that manner. |
Butkuiss
08.03.23 | This is what I get for getting briefly involved with my city’s breakcore scene via the grindcore scene lmfao |
insomniac15
08.03.23 | Petre Inspirescu - Vin Ploile (minimal, house, psy, ambient)

Mort.
08.03.23 | im so sorry for making sure i recced you something that wasnt in your ratings that fits what you asked for
obviously im such a bastard that deserves to be ignored
|
JohnnyoftheWell
08.03.23 | is this where i apologise for not arbitrarily elevating you over the hmm 20 people who rec'd albums first |
Butkuiss
08.03.23 | Omg I love drama |
Mort.
08.03.23 | no this is where you apologise for not just replying earlier in a polite way and simply answering my original question as to whether my rec will be accepted and added on to the list at some point |
Hyperion1001
08.03.23 | lifeforms isnt even really techno so |
izakaya
08.03.23 | ^kind of agree and is something I'd more recommend to people looking to get into 'electronic' rather than a techno-specific list tbh.
still a classic though so hey why not |
Hyperion1001
08.03.23 | its one of my personal favorites yeah i just wouldnt really call it techno |
s0nicx
08.03.23 | Damn you already have a monolake album...hmmm... |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.03.23 | am amenable to a later Monolake record in addition to that, generally vibe with him
"lifeforms isnt even really techno so"
wait who recommended Lifeforms?
|
s0nicx
08.03.23 | Ok so either C418 - Volume Alpha - definitely ambient but calling it techno would be a stretch.
If that doesn't work then Blue Stahli - Copper. |
BaselineOOO
08.04.23 | Ricardo Villalobos - Achso
Sterac - Asphyx
first is for your brain second for your reptile brain |
RabbitSeason
08.04.23 | Genuinely curious, how does one define techno? |
Ryus
08.04.23 | Techno is a broad form of Electronic Dance Music that emerged in the late 1980s. Techno is highly beat-driven and repetitive, featuring minimal chord variation and lead melodies, instead allowing four-on-the-floor rhythms and timbral variety to become the focal point of tracks. Techno is typically produced for sets and raves, featuring lengthy productions exceeding five minutes. In contrast with other main EDM branches like House and Trance, which are usually emotional and/or melodic (often featuring vocals), techno is mechanical and "cold" in sound, embracing synthetic sound design and hypnotic, non-human rhythmicity.
not a bad definition from rym |
RabbitSeason
08.04.23 | Ty imma listen to some of the top rym techno I haven't heard yet |
Ryus
08.04.23 | nice mane
the only thing i'll say is a lot of the best stuff comes from non-album material i.e. EPs, mixes, singles—basic channel EPs are probably a good starting place and much beloved |
Butkuiss
08.04.23 | +1 for those basic channel EPs, and for the related Porter Ricks stuff. Dub techno essentials. |
Hyperion1001
08.04.23 | basic channel and underground resistance should be everyone’s intro to techno tbh. |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.04.23 | Time for Andy Stott - list so far has been aces |
Ryus
08.04.23 | "Would probably go 3.7 for the first four / 4.2-4.3 for the last three, so let's call it a solid 4"
dam cyan is like one of the most iconic chain reaction tunes. but the last few tracks are very strong yes |
BaselineOOO
08.04.23 | Wow you didn't even add my recs... |
izakaya
08.04.23 | good Hong Kong take. agree the back half is where it's at although Macau doesn't get enough credit
I should really check out more of their stuff as only heard the first 2 |
izakaya
08.04.23 | if you like Stott, you're in 4 a treat. one of the most consistent discogs going |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.07.23 | TIME TO UPDATE THE TECHNO let's go |
PotsyTater
08.07.23 | Dad fucked up by rec’ing passed me by for your first Stott experience and I’m here to rectify that by rec’ing faith in strangers |

Hyperion1001
08.08.23 | this release is dedicated to those who realize that it is never safe to look into the future with eyes of fear. it is what we make it out to be.
FUTURE = REALITY |
Dedes
08.08.23 | Lol thanks for jamming Purity Filter anyway my guy, I was either imagining you'd really dig it or find it uhhh way overblown and a product of internet edm culture. Tbh it definitely showed that my understanding of techno was lacking. Ill have to try exploring other edm genres although idk if anything will hit it for me like breakcore has. |
Havey
08.08.23 | catastrophic month of genre so far |

JohnnyoftheWell
08.15.23 | i will accept recs from literally anyone
which doesn't change the fact that a bunch of other people rec'd albums before you, as you would have noticed if you had taken five whole seconds to scroll up the thread instead of flexing your persecution complex on me |
