Techno Like Hardcell & Grindvik - Square ?
Still trying to build a knowledgebase in techno, so far into these ppl
Beyer
Liebing
Michel De Hey
Hertz
picotto/ferri
robert natus
takkyu ishino
Grindvik/Hardcell
Joris Voorn
and the latter I've heard a tune played on radio 1 form them - Square which Is I think on the Drumcode label. Was wondering what people think to this style and if ne1 can name me more techno with melodies

Well here are some labels that might have some of this..."hard tech-trance"
Gas Records
BLQ Records
Gothic Records
Red Alert Records
Dance Pollution Records
BXR / Underground / Media
Stik via MOLTO SRL
Minimalistix
That is, i've heard the stuff on these labels be called "hard tech-trance", and that seems to be the best way to describe Square.
Hardcell always delivers quality stuff, check out:
Hardcell - The Play
Hardcell & Johan Bacto - Amount

nowhere near as much as [N]uk|eu[Z] from this board but I figure thats how i can listen to natus stuff some of it's very good tho esp 'you did survive' where he brings a melody in too

quite probable that you won't like it still, but it's one of the easier ones to listen to
Yeah you're probably right on that Hardstyle thing. Regardless, square ain't techno. Sorry, I don't consider something with a minute long breakdown in which is introduced a limp melody to be techno. Anyway, this is more for archival purposes than anything, but since techno topics turn up so rarely I suggest:
Takaaki Itoh, Fumiya Tanaka, Paul Damage/Paul Bailey/Paul "Damage" Bailey, Marco Carola, Surgeon, Heiko Laux, Jon Nuccle, Inigo Kennedy, Sterac, Mark Hawkins, Paul Birken, DJ Boss, 303f, Mike Humphries, Tadox, Energun 22, Thomas Krome, Damon Wild, Cari Lekebusch, Joel Mull, Shufflemaster, DJ Misjah, Neil Landstrumm...

as verminator points out kowalski is good producer and the new double x album - alive has a few good tracks on it (namely city lights).
May not be your thing but the kompakt label has some good deep melodic techno. people like reignhart voigt, michael mayer and rex the dog (again more electro/trancey)
Other producers
justin berkovi
phil kieran
leandro gamez
d. diggler
dominik eulberg
taksi
and how can we all forget D.A.V.E. The Drummer?
check out the Mankind EPs...all good stuff, incl. tracks from the said dj, Mhonolink, Johan Bacto, Redhead, Patrick Skoog, etc.
http://www.discogs.com/label/Mankind
i think they're up to Mankind 27 or something...Discogs is infamous for not being contemporary with many a release

| Originally posted by verminator how do you compare ANY production by d.a.v.e the drummer and 'square' by hardcell & grindvik? it's as far away as you can possibly get from it.. anyways, the mankind series is 'only' up to #22 as discogs says.. #22 just came out as retail the other week. #23 lined up, tbr in not so very long, new pratap release |
big thanks to Vermi for the suggestions, chesco also Gonna take me ages to find all these but I think it's gonna be worth it

| Originally posted by AlphaStarred as for the # of releases, maybe im wrong...although i could've sworn to have seen or heard newer ones after 22, perhaps as promos...not certain though |
