2. and a double!

I posted a "need help!" thread there and want as many techno fans to see it as possible.

4. Some help:

Infected Mushroom
Shpongle
Hallucinogen

all fall under the label of psy trance. I don't know a lot of psy trance, but that's the label that hose three fall under, and I think they are generally considered the "bees knees" of psy.

sasha is kind of techno-lite. decent DJ, you might want to check out people like Dave Clarke, Ken Ishii, maybe some Derrick May and some Laurent Garnier.

juno reactor is trance/techno, and some damn good stuff at that. Similar to Juno reactor...hmmm Koxbox? Man with no name? the platipus record label put out a lot of really really good trance up until about 2000 (then they started to kind of go the "epic trance" style, which kind of bores me). Something like Orbital might appeal to you here, especially their second album (commonly called "the brown album"). Also take a look at this compilation: In To The Mix, the first disc is great, especially the Plastikman mix of Alpha Wave. The second disc is pretty decent as well, but not as stunning as the first disc (which really surprised me, cause I don't like compilations like this as a rule).


The others I haven't heard of, so maybe someone else can help you out.


Hope that was of some help. I'd post in the other thread, but since I am sans star, I cannot join the DU elite in their groups.

3. Kick, and checking it out now.

So who likes disco? Heyyyy, disco, you like disco, hey disco!

5. Some disco is great...

Giorgio Moroder is amazing, as is some of the early Italo Disco stuff, like "Black Devil Disco Club" (and was written by two French "library writers").

And for some modern disco, try "Kerrier District" (Luke Vibert) which is amazingly wonderful, and, hip hip hooray, volume 2 is rumoured to be coming out soon.
