Deep bass Techno?

Er… So in an unexpected flash of inspiration, I’ve found myself looking a bit at mixing Techno and pretending to be Richie Hawtin. And don’t get me wrong, I really like a lot of Techno, but I found this one tune (which may not be strictly Techno) that really caught my attention

So yeah… Kryptic Minds, maybe not the first thing one would expect, but I really like the sort of “deep n dark bass”-vibe this has going, kind of evocative of the ‘Dungeon’ sound (of which I am very fond). Obviously, I’d need more than one tune if I want to mix this kind of music, so I was wondering, do you guys have any recommendations of similar tunage/labels to a complete noob?

(No, I’m not looking for a playlist or anything of the sorts, I’m just looking to get into a new genre)

You might want to check Audio Junktion’s tracklists, he once did a CLR podcast filled with tracks like these.

Or start at the BeatPort page of the lable. (Osiris Music UK Music & Downloads on Beatport)

You could always check Xhin.

I don’t think you’d find much on Osiris, they mostly release Dubstep & DnB. I’ll check out the others though, cheers.

Stroboscopic Artefacts. Xhin, Lucy and Dadub take it daaaark. frozen border may be of some interest to you as well, its a particularly purist label though, all analogue all the time. and of course Ostgut Ton, cant beat some dark berlin techno.

These are great, I really liked the Function and Onmutu Mechanicks tracks. Big stuff.

EDIT: Is there such a thing as too dark? O.O

Feeling this one as well, thanks!

Haha, for me there isn’t

Got some more:

The new Robert Hood:

And of course for some dark tunes you have to check out Planetary Assault Systems with his album The Messenger

New Shed also a bit dark:

Oke, enough.
