Best Techno Song

[TravisCarpenter]

I know at the competitions they always play alot of techno remixes. I remember last year at nationals two songs that they played alot were Take it to da house by Trick Daddy, and Sandstorm by Darude. Anyone else have any favorites that they like to listen to?

[Bill Whitley]

The list goes on and on and on.
I loooove techno. Too hard to pick favorites tho.

I have to agree with Bill.

Right now, the new Diesel Boy stuff it in my CD player.

It's possible to have a favorite Techno song?

Wow there are sooo many.....

Mars & Mystere, Aphex Twin, DieselBoy, DJ Shadow, Kid 606, Photek, The Chemical Brothers...

The list goes on and on, and those are just artists.

There's no one good techno song.

There're also too many sub-genres of techno to have a single song represent them all.

IDM != Happy Hardcore
Speedcore != Acid House
However, they're all considered techno.

Good luck getting a consensus about a "best" track.

talkin about sub categories,

I love dub....

This is my interpretation of techno as expressed in pseudo-C:

struct genre techno
{
subgenre Trance;
subgenre Drum'n'Bass;
subgenre House;
subgenre Acid;
subgenre IDM;
subgenre HappyHardcore;

...

Hmmm, this thread didnt really go the way i thought it would. Maybe i phrased it wrong. I was hoping to get some of you to share with all of us your favorite techno songs to listen to. Not the best, just your personal favorites. Ive got one. Anyone ever heard teh Price is Right Techno Remix?

I agree It's all about Orbital and Underworld

[MikeA56]

My favorite would have to be Darude - sandstorm.

Anyway, there is a techno song they played at a few of these regionals, manly Silicon Valley and Nationals, and i can't seem to figure out the name of it maybe you can help me, and it's not sandstorm. It bearly has any words if any at all in it, but here's the beat in type:
(real fast) da da da da da da da da da da, (then) ba ba ba ba ba ba ba buh ba ba ba buh ba ba ba buh ba ba ba ba ba, and then so on, It's like real hard to describe it, but that's the best i can do. I go crazy if i hear a techno song somewhere and can't figure out the name of it.

Okay, I'm no expert on the technicalities of genres, but since when are Orbital and Underworld considered "trance"?
