good techno mix CD

[boz-e]

does anyone know of a really good techno mix cd?

not an easy question but I'm looking for stuff kinda like Richie Rich, crossed with djs like phil smart, patrick HAF, biz-e and other not-really-tech styles

I'd prefer to get a local one too

[Epps]

I know what you're saying re local content, but unless you big, a promoter, then it's hard to get a mixed CD out.

There are plenty of good international artists though. Some that spring to mind are...

Dark Shark Series Vol.4 - Speaker Attack Switzerland
Billy Nasty Vol.1 (this has an excellent track listing!)
The Torture Chamber Vol.2 - mixed by Umek (also good)
On the Road - A mix by Monika Kruse

Good luck...

Kazu Kimura's (Brisbane) DJ Excursions CD from 1998 is simply brilliant.

There was some Sabotage and Tweekin mix CD's around many years ago! mixed by Ray + Phil. I know Patrick HAF has made/sold mix CD's in the past, not 'commercially' released, I never got around to buying one from him, be keen to get a new one!

Forgot... another Aussie... DJ HMC, has relesed a few excellent mix CD's as well... Can't remember their exact titles... One with DJ Dijital? One which features his own productions (recorded live at Heaven in Adelaide), another which was a DJ mix as part of those DJ mix series... and I think one of the Dirty House Compilation CD's came with an extra DJ HMC mixed CD...

Can you help DJ Royal?

[Polecat]

I love my copy of Tronic Treatment.
Thankyou to thebar and TECHiONE for that piece of techno heaven.

[Epps]

TECHiONE all the local CDs that you mentioned are great. And all of them as DJs are great in their field.

Although while I listen to Will E Tells excursions mix you can quite honestly hear the 'dated' sound of the techno being presented. That sound remained quite stagnant and was very popular for ages.

A true representation of the current sound would be Simon Coyles latest mix on Wet Musik. My only criticism of the mix would be that there are to many Wet label tracks included. I'll probably be canned over that statement.

[fezzwah]

DJ HMC - definitely. "LSD" - as featured on FACT II, and "Phreakin" awesome talent.

Also Rob Little from the Dirty House crew!

[davey]

Yeah HMC has released some wicked tracks.
esp: dirty acid trax & phreakin
and I still listen to his DJ's downunder CD even now.. however, heard him play at cyberotica mardi gras night a few years ago and thought his dj set was well boring.. none of the treacks he played stood out from each other, and he didn't have the dj skill to make them stand out. no cutting up , or EQ twiddling..

[fezzwah]

Interesting, I've only seen him once up here is Vegas, I thought he played a great set. Anyway, I feel his talent is definitely more on the production side of things...

[TECHiONE]

DJ HMC - DJ's Downunder, that's one of the titles I couldn't remember, thanks!

DJ HMC is an awesome DJ/producer, he's not a cut up, tricks, effects type DJ... so yeah if you expect that of him, you'll be dissapointed... he has an amazing talent for perfectly seamlessly blending music/tracks together... he was awesome at Kaplunk, and awesome at the simadelaide juice records party in Adelaide not too long ago... have seen him 100's of times, being from Adelaide myself...

:)

these are some of my favs

Claude Young - Dj kicks (one of the best mix cd's in my opinion)

CARL COX F.A.CT 1- (ont know if you will ifnd it anymore but, also one of my favs. If you see it anywhere buy it!)

Umek on Moniod
Samuel L sessions on Moniod
Oxia on moniod
Takkyu Isshino DJF400


For the locals i dont think you can go past the a.u.m mix cd's Nice range of tek in there, the first cd (aummixcd001) Is an absolute stormer!

[brett--]

--
Pounding Grooves - DJ Mix Series Volume 4 (one of the AUDIO mixed CD compilations)..
--

What else to say but, sheer brilliance....

[Terminus]

Try Carl Cox - Global? Havnt heard it myself though. An older techno CD you may like is Oliver Liebs' 'Future Tech Trance' Dave Clarke/World Service and Umek/Torture Chamber are great Cd's too...

MP3 wise, try and get "Jeff Mills live @ Liquid Room 2000" that is an awesome 3 hour techno mix.

[coda]

Oscar Mulero - About discipline & Education - A few years old now but absolutely brilliant all the same.

[leonm]

you best check two new mix cd's coming out on Warp, and Turbo. both claim to be ADAM BEYER's first mix cd. from the track-listing, they both look extremely tasty.

my all time favourite mix:

Cristian Varela - Live at Phrenetic Madrid

[boz-e]

thanks guys - I've printed the list off and ticked off those I've already got (far too many)

gonna track down the rest

cheers again

[elie9]

Techno Concept 1
Techno Concept 2

No locals, but all the techno greats are on there: Jeff Mills, Rino Cerrone, Technasia, Funk D'Void, etc.

They are both very close companions which I take with me where ever I go :)


P.S. TECHiONE: OhMyGod!!! it's like you've got a memory chip in your brain :P

[dFuez]

DJ HMC definately! Will-E-Tel, Simon Digby, Simon Coyle, Kazu

........and then theres LIVE TECHNO!! :p
