Please recommend some techno music

[myrhymeandreason]

Me some techno?

I have never gotten into it but like most of what I have heard here and there.

I listen to basically rock/alternative/metal/grunge/etc. and need something new.

[russellc]

Benny Benassi might be a good start :p

EDIT: I really enjoy Fatboy Slim stuff, so that's another artist I recommend to check out. :)

Do you mean straight techno techno? Or are you just saying techno because you don't know the genre well enough to be more specific? (and I don't mean that in a condescending way at all, because that's exactly how I was up until a few months ago...or almost a year now, whatever)

Recently, I've gotten a lot into trance. People who aren't familiar with the whole genre wouldn't really think trance is any different from techno, but I think trance is a lot more musical and a lot more interesting than most techno I've heard. My favorite trance artist so far is Infected Mushroom. I've actually gotten so much into trance that I'm going to buy a Korg Electribe in about 3 or 4 weeks (it's a drum synthesizer that can make all sorts of music, but especially trance/techno kind of stuff).

I am loving Benny Benassi!

I picked up the Best of Benny Benassi and I never knew that this was the artist for "Satisfaction".

I think that only everyone in the world has heard that song!

darude

flashbulb (dnb but still, electronic music)

vospi ( http://vospi.bemafia.ru ) again, dnb but still great electronic music, at least the more recent stuff

kyle ward ( http://www.kyle-ward.com)

alot of these aren't 'techno' but they are electronic music .. besides, 'techno' is a very generic name for a genre and doesn't really describe the techno music out there

[Psyph3rium]

http:/psypherium.googlepages.com

I've converted at least one metalhead to techno {well, electronica/electronica-experimental really.} with this, it has some of the aggression and power of metal that makes it more industrial than techno, but an undefinable genre.

Basically all digital, casio midi inputs for key locations, FL-Studio {TS404/slayer2, vanguard etc}

Some trancy stuff, but yeah, alot of heavy stuff in there too, especially "psypherium revolution", one from a long time ago.

oggs, torrents.

[myrhymeandreason]

if you get any chemical brothers, id avoid their latest one, just released. top albums for them are, imo, ' dig your own hole ' and ' surrender '. they are ace.

prodigy is good too. i think ' fat of the land ' is their best one, but ' music for the jilted generation ' is good and ' experience ' is quirky and rather excellent

i like paul oakenfold and dj tiesto, but they are trancy. i am not a big fan of vocals in this sort of music, but i do like the chemical brothers guest singers. theres a cool track on ' dig your own hole ' called ' where do i begin ' with beth orton as vocal, nice

older electronica that is cool are orbital and the orb . i guess at some point that dj mod fellow will pipe in as he knows more than most about these things but there have been a lot of good responses to your question that have helped me too

[fr3akx]

try itunes radio .-.

sometimes i find cool techno songs there
