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?
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…
Ive been listening to lot of Chemical brothers.
trance>techno
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;
…](this space intentionally left blank)
}
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?

**trance>techno **
I agree 
It’s all about Orbital and Underworld
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”?
Best techno song? Close Your Eyes- by acen

Uhhhh Fishy, we are in Florida dear and last I checked Florida was a part of the US, not the UK. 
It is very hard to have a favorite techno song… I personally like anything by Stakka and Skynet and Apollo 440.
I like DJ Kal, a local DJ, and others, but it is very, very hard to pick 1. Uuuuuuuummmmmm, i like remixes of dance songs, like amber, Joslyn Enriques (sp)…
I’ve been listening to a lot of Vocal Trance recently (I usually switch genres I listen to every few days) and been loving “Clear Blue Water (a1 vinyl promo)” ay Ocean Lab. But yeah, it’s really hard to pick a favorite techno song, it all depends on the mood. I got favorites from sub-genres though.
DJ Quicksliver is really good.
Personally, I like Fragma ft. Maria Nubia- Everytime you need me. That’s a great song… the beginning starts out techno and then goes into voice… but it’s got a good beat and it makes me happy… There’s this one song by Danielle “something” and I don’t know the title but it sounds like N’Sync singing it… don’t ask… but I want to know the name of it… Also, I like DJ Slammin’ Shaun (Local), and then there’s Dj Infinity, Dj Baby Anne, Dj Icey, Dj Mike B, Dj Kenny Styles, Gigi De Augistino (sp?), and Dj Krazy K (my Dj Name) but I haven’t done much… Still trying to figure out how to do a certain move… blah… too much work… haha…
I like Drum N’ Bass too… and Trance, Bass, Booty, Hip Hop, Rap, R&B, and others… I’m really not too picky but I do listen to techno/trance mostly… Right now I have Techno Bass Cd in my car… it sounds so good with my 2 Audio Bahn 10’s with a 600 watt amp pushing them… They sound even better in my friend’s truck who has 4 Solo B’s (by Kicker) 12’s with 1500 watts pushing them… they’re loud… about 180 dB and that’s only on voice… hehe… Anyways… Yeah… that’s what my personal Fav. is… I just like them all…
