it's about time i updated my library a bit
pretty much covered up to 2007, got plenty of Hawtin, Clarke, Villalobos et al and have an illegitimately acquired Cocoon Records back catalogue up to about 2006 i think.
what's new?
i'll try owt from uber minimalism through dirty detroit funkyness to pseudo industrial rantyness
so come on then, make me wiggle whilst i clean the house 🙂
My friends label 'Living Records' has had some good stuff out on it.
[b]Alex Smoke[/b] is what you need.
Also, not exactly techno, but the Mary Anne Hobbs show last week had some great sets -

there's plenty to keep you entertained around the site.. news of what's occurring down in dirty ol' devon.. 'tis bandit country I tell 'ee bey..
I'm no expert, but I have been enjoying DJ T's Fabric mix. Especially that [url=
Funk[/url] kwaito track. Great dancing in that vid too.
The recent Duke Dumont one is very good too, but both may be a bit more house than techno, I'm too old to tell any more.
Roland’s been mixing it all up lately and dropping fidget , ghetto tek, techno and old school in his sets
i must be getting old 😯
Oh, and 2008's Omar S Fabric mix (all his own tunes) was considered something of a landmark in Detroit techno, I'm told.
I quite liked it, but must have gone off of Detroit a bit.
i must be getting old
that is highly probable
This new group called Orbital seem to be making waves this year!
There's a new sound that goes "ping" that can be repeated ad nauseum.
combining all these for listening at a later date
over techno'd yesterday so today i'll mostly be listening to Beirut and Young Gods 🙂

Four things I've been listing to recently, more electronica than techno really:

Dunno about new, but I'm off to see Carl Craig on Saturday 8)
there is a limit ! And that is clearly beyond it

Something else for you - not sure if he's still classed as techno, but I love a bit of [url= http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast ]Trentemøller[/url].
More freeebeees 🙂
to be honest, nothing much has appealed to me yet. Maybe i should just stick to what's no doubt now classed as 'old skool' techno 🙁
certainly nothing has really got me wiggling like what Dave Clark-Archive 1 does
Open your mind 😉
if i opened my mind like i used to then i'm pretty sure i'd have to book a week off work to recover nowadays 🙁
Not that new, but I just bought "Temporary Suspension" by Planetary Assault Systems (Luke slater).
I'm liking it a lot - proper, good old dancefloor techno vibe, bit of variation and the production is top-notch.
I'm a big fan of Cocoon Recordings too. Phil Kieran's "Shh" album is a winner. Most of their output is currently in the tech-house camp at the moment though. (But still good stuff!)
These days, I'm more into this kind of thing...

if you want old skool techno then you cant beat undergrond resistance and red planet stuff.
good sets on the im link from
Santiago Salazar
DJDex
Los Hermanos
rolando
However I have seen pretty much all the big names (US and European over the years and Taakaki Itoh would be my "desert island dj"
DezB with more musical treats! Excellent, a new Trentemoller mix. He really is rather good.
Nice that someone appreciates me 🙂
+1 for Planetary Assault Systems "Temporary Suspension".
Try looking at the Seldom Felt label. It's all new stuff, but has that "proper bangin' techno" feel from the early-mid 90s. Me likey lots!
