Hey guys, not posted in absolutely AGES! But this place was always a trustworthy site to visit when you have a few question!
Anyway, I’m warming up on a techno night in a few weeks (can’t wait). But it’s my 1st time playing techno out! Normally I play house, and I find warming up for a house night fairly simple!
Now I listen to a sh*t load of techno, mainly the stuff you’d want to hear around 3-4am when everyones heads are rolling off but I’m here really to see if you guys have any good tune suggestions on what would be appropriate to start the night off!
Depends on the type of deep house actually. I could see a lot of the more underground deep stuff blending quite well in a techno set, and I’ve seen it a few times when my buddies spin at a little lounge in town.
Erm, well I’m not really looking for deep house tunes to warm up a techno night. I’ve never been to a night aimed specifically at techno and heard the dj play deep house?
Honestly the same was true in the early 90s! That said I have a bunch of those drumcode and code red records.
minimal and dubby stuff always works well, a lot of house and deep house also works well, especially stuff in a Detroit vein. You can’t go wrong with Robert Hood!
I think the reason that modern techno is slower is that it emerged out of the minimal techno scene. Most new Techno is a mix between minimal and traditional techno and usually sits around the 127 - 135 mark. Producers like Skudge, Marcel Dettmann, DVS1 etc are definitely playing and making proper techno unless we are talking about completely different artists.
When I throw together a set list I always make sure to take a listen to all the tracks in question when cleaning around the house or playing a game or just relaxing… if you are paying proper attention you will catch the track that doesn’t quite fit well in the tracks selected.
