Help with techno and progressive.

Giving trance a break and need new stuff to mix with. my choices are techno and progressive. any suggestions on tracks and labels??
thanks TA's.

I'll say it before someone else does: check out the Zero Tolerance label for some harder, deeper progressive stuff. Aussie based too, so you can't go wrong.

As for specific tracks, I posted this in a progressive thread in the music discussions forum:

quote:

Tracks on my playlist that are relatively new (presented in alphabetical order no less): Andy Moor - Athena / No More (liking his new direction) Bluefish - Chameleon Dan Goodall - Summit Freeloader - Glow (Polekat Remix) Gardner & Thomas - Turn to Try Katakana - Tokyo (reminds me of why I started liking prog in the first place) LSG - Goddess / Loose Ends (Loose Ends would be perfect to start a darker set off with) Misja Helsloot vs Roland K - A Different World (love the bassline) NDSA - Or What (Inkfish Remix) Neurotic Jock - Therapy (dark, bass-heavy prog house, very much of the Filterheadz type sound) Noctophobia - Perfect Sense Peter Martin (aka Slide) - Co-da / Everything in Between Rogue - Dohan Girls (Alex Flatner Remix) (another one that reminds me of the progressive of a couple of years ago) Rulers of the Deep - Dirty Grooves Shafunkers - Open Skies / Rhythm Design (if the second one doesn't make you want to get up and dance, then there is no hope for you) Smight - Happy Place / Rebuilding Twelve Thomas Penton - Dirty Sanchez But by far the track of the moment is.... Funktion - Seduction I've got two mixes, both labelled as the "original mix". Once is a more chilled track with these warming synths over the top of a laid-back housey beat, but it's the second, more pumping one that you're after. It's exactly the sort of track I could see Danny Howells or Deep Dish playing at the peak of their set - can't get enough of it. It goes right off. "What's going on..... what's going on..... what's going on....."

Hope that helps. Also, for the techno side of things, I just downloaded John Starlight - Bloodangels (Chris Liebling Remix) and it is the bees knees - one of those tracks you could quite easily slip into the darker, harder moments of a prog set...... should wake everyone up at least.

If you need any more tracks I'll post my recent winamp playlists. Full of gems if you want my personal opinion.

where is dj_mario when you need him?

For top new tracks i suggest listening to digweeds kiss 100 mixes.

Techno is the way to go,

Get anything from the Guy McAffer - RAW series

Download anything from D.A.V.E The Drummer, Ant, some tunes from Chris Liberator, Julian Liberator and Aaron Liberator and also download some tunes from these labels, Purpose Maker, Labworks, ReLoad, Molecular, Tresor and Construct Rhythm.

Prog House Labels:

Bedrock
Fade
Silver Planet
Hooj (More tech housey of late, not the trance of '99)
Lost Language
Renaissance
Fire Records (Cass & Slide's Label, but closed up now)
Sabotage (Cass' New Label to replace Fire)
Duty Free (Tall Paul's Label, more commercially orientate prog but some of its cool)
Distinctive (Hybrid & Way Out West's Label)
Ronster
Zero Tolerance (Based in Melbourne this label is DARK)
Circulation (Artists own label)
Baroque (Quivver's Label, makes good stuff from time to time)
Coded/Quad Communication (Global Undergrounds Own Label)
EQ Grey (Another Aussie label going great guns)
Cyber (Dj Gogo & Dj Nukem appear on this label, awesome stuff)
Shinici US (Housey/Tech Housey/Prog its all good)

I find the best prog can come on weird ass labels that nobody's heard of, so don't try and stay with the big gun labels.

and dont shop for prog @ the dj factory.

i forgot

Yoshitoshi (Deep Dish's label, comes out with house/tech house/prog and techno)

Yeh and what about Prog Trance labels?

About trancey Ash's post.

Is there actually a progressive trance genre. Personally i think thats a load of horse shit and that its made by die hard trancers not wanting to like the progressive genre.

Just seems like unnecessary genre whoring to me.

So you say that all prog is the same?

You can;t tell me there isn't a difference between Prog Trance and Prog House! I mean what does Sasha play Prog House? Just like his GU 013, prog house!
Prog trance has melodie, builds etc, where as Prog house doesn;t really have these kinda elements that trance has. But it still has mostly progressive elements, without being housy.
I think to say that Prog trance doesn't exist is pretty fuckin stupid. You can;t tell me all stuff progressive, is progressive house, cause it's clearly not.
BTW I do love the progressive genre, just incase you thought I was a die hard trancer not wanting to like the progressive genre.

Have A Nice Day

nah you'd be wrong.

some tracks are more trancey than other tracks which are housey
but
to me they all fit under the progressive genre.

*shrug*

wtf bedrock......???

how can you say 'nah you're wrong'?

genres in music mean jack shit....people made them up to describe the kind of music they play/listen to etc. The way some people use genres is fucking insane, like some people wont like a track because it is classified in 'that' genre. What a load of shit imo. stop arguing about fucking genres on the internet and do something worthwile like saving the fucking dolphins.


fuck you

respek to escee, i think you've just invented a new word: genre-whoring

Well I would rather have genres, at least I know where to go in a CD store or record store to get the stuff I like instead of hunting through a whole fucking pile of shit music.

you're an idiot
if someone doesn't like a few tracks, and they are all in a similar style or shock! genre! then don't you think its at all possible that they won't like most of the other tracks in that genre? so if someone tells them hey i have this new *insert genre here* track, the reply "nah, i dont like that style, so i prob wont like this track" is reasonable. to me anyway. so you fuck off, and take your dolphins with you!
