Techno? You should get the soundtrack to the original Mortal Kombat movie.

Not techno, but I just would like to imagine everybody working out to this song. You will regret it if you don't listen click to listen.

I'm not really a big techno fan, and I'm not even really sure of the difference between techno, trance, etc. That having been said I used to listed to the Vegas album by Crystal Method every now and then and it was good motivational electronic music.

It's pretty old by now, though.

There is no such thing as good techno music.

 

I know you are using the word techno to loosely describe the music you are looking for but for anyone interested, here are some examples of different more distinguishable "real" techno genres:

Circa 1996-2004 monotonistic techno
Artists like Adam Beyer, Speedy J, some Marco Carola, some Christian Varela

"Minimalistic techno"
Artists like Ricardo Villalobos, some Richie Hawtin, some Ame

"Classic Detroit Techno (circa 1990-1996)
Artists like Jeff Mills, Derrick May, some Carl Craig

There are other techno genres as well. Nowadays the distinctions are maybe harder to make, since the most played forms of techno aren't so underground any more. It could be said that techno has had elements of the more mainstream genres like electro and house more incorporated into it as the more minimal and more melodic stuff has been in favour in recent years.

 

Amazing video, up there with the best OK GO stuff out there.

 

:grin:

Actually, that song might be one of the few out of thousands who HAS a video (Can't bother to find it though). It was quite popular (at least by techno standards) when it was published.

This stuff might be underground, but yet it is played in the clubs all around the world. Maybe not so much in the US, where the electronic music scene is quite different, on one hand "cheesy ****" like Tiesto and Guetta is very popular but on the other hand there are lots of top quality local undergroung producers and clubs as well.

 

good job new guy, kraftwerk ftw!
