The '95-'97 Techno Thread.

[Lord_Stewie]

Hey,

I honestly believe that the movement/Short Golden age started with 1995-'97 for techno.

Here I start with Hadaway:

I don't think they are really techno. Haddaway is more Euro dance pop stuff.

Techno is more like Prodigy and The Crystal Method.

Not techno at all. Just poppy eurodance for the top 40 chart

Techno is something totally different.

Over here in Belgium we grew up with electronic music since the mid-late eighties (mainly Belgian - German - UK stuff and some detroit & chicago import from US later).

Pure techno in those days was played by DJ's such as Derrick May, Dave Clark, Kevin Saunderson, Laurent Garnier, Sven Väth, CJ Bolland, Claude Young, Stacey Pullen, Luke Slater, Kenny Larkin, Frank De Wulf, Joey Beltram,...

Yeah but it's really only cool when there are two of you keeping the rhythm at the intersection, otherwise it's not cool.

Mike in the 90's those beats were called Technos.

Maybe not compared to today's versions of technos. But I know that this is how it started to be the way it is today.

I may be wrong about this. But I remember the genre being called a Techno.

Sorry for taking too long to respond I forgot about the thread.

Here is a great one:

AMBER: This is your night.

Le Bouche- Be my lover.

Enjoy.

PS. I am dancing to the music as I am posting.

You should start shaking it like:

We called it just "Eurodance" or "Europop". This was just top 50-radiomusic in those days. Was way too commercial for "clubs".

Techno was in those days quite harder and monotonous (not commercial at all). 4/4 beat and straight along.

Before '96 ... they were playing a mix of different genres in electronic music in (Belgian) clubs (techno, house, electro, trance).

From 1996 genres start to split up. Each club had it's own genre ... some techno, some trance, some house, some mainstraim dancemusic,...

It was the end of "one happy family culture". Techno-people found trance too commercial. etc.

The 90's were crazy years ... Every club and afterclub had its own cd-compilation series. People were exchanging mixtapes at school and at work from their favourite clubs and dj's .... There was also a lot of trouble between clubs and authorities (opening hours: some clubs were open from friday till monday evening, drug abuse,...)

Techno as we know it now started in the 80s in Detroit.

Inspired by Belgian and German acts like Kraftwerk, Telex, Neon Judgement, Snowy Red, Front 242 ...

The first techno anthem was Rhythm Is Rhythm - Strings Of Life.

Detroit techno had a warm sound, while European sound was mostly more sterile and harder sounding in the early days.

Golden age for techno was '89-'96.

Rammstein? Techno? Are you kidding?

Honestly, I can't remeber any techno song from that period...everything that comes to my mind are all those eurodance hits that used to be popular.
