    Default Who knows of some good MELODIC techno?

    Hey guys, i've got a gig coming up soon at a little underground art/music (hipster) bar.
    Personally, i'm really into dark, drum heavy techno and the deep, warehousey stuff you'd hear at Berghain or whatever. This is good closing material, but earlier in the night I feel like some groovier, more melodic stuff might be better. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Think along the lines of Christian Smith or Alexander Kowalski. I'd just go digging on Beatport, but since the people on this site have fantastic taste I figured i'd try crowdsourcing first.

    Here's some in my list since if I have any techno, it's almost always the melodic, deep kinda stuff. Some may be primarily vinyl releases.

    Jonsson/Alter (2 LP is very nice)
    Julian Perez
    Och
    Infinite Loops
    Troy Gunner
    Sven Weisemann
    Kassem Mosse
    Omar S
    Alan Fitzpatrick
    Rene Audiard

    Some of this may be classified as Tech House/Deep House by some, but...you know interchangable genres and stuff.
    2 x Technics 1210 MKII, Pioneer-DJM 900 Nexus, Traktor Scratch Pro, NI F1,
    Ableton Live 9.6 Suite, Ableton Push, Studio One 3, Moog Sub37, Roland Alpha Juno 2, Korg MS-20 Mini, Yamaha TG-77, TR-8, Rhodes MKI Stage, Wurlitzer 200a, couple pedals, couple amps, lots of software and a freakin iPad

    most the releases on spilo, pirate audio might fit the bill, more funky than melodic though. Haven't had my records with me for a few years now :'( but will try and remember some more labels / artists

    On the flip sometimes you can find Tech House more on the Techno side which sounds like more melodic Techno. Just like I've found Minimal tracks that sound like Tech House or Techno that sounds Minimal or Deep House that sounds like Tech House, etc. Frankly I think some labels just put the music in a different category to get certain tracks noticed.

    This may seem like shameless promotion but I literally just made an all melodic techno & prog mix if you wanna take a look.

    Guys like Max Cooper, Guy Gerber, Peter Juergens are all top notch.

    WHYT NOYZ are really good producers and they really seem to keep it dark but melodic. Here's a few tracks https://soundcloud.com/scitec/tec094...t-noyz-they-ep
