TranceAddict Forums Archive > Main Forums > Music Discussion Sterac - The Secret Life of Machines. Similar artists? View this Thread in Original format capricorn15 I just discovered this album a week ago. I really like the album, specifically draghixia and satyricon ("why aren't these on the reissue?" seems to be a common complaint about it, and I agree). A recent artist, Deniro(Tape Records Amsterdam) has a similar sound in some of his tracks, and I like most of what he has released. I browsed part of 100% Pure Catalog on discogs, and found an artist named Jerome, which I also liked. I read or saw in an interview that some people thought the Sterac records came out of Detroit at that time, so I looked into some of the older Detroit techno artists briefly (Robert Hood - a little too minimal, though I like nighttime music vol 2, Jeff Mills - too hard, Juan Atkins - good, though not as "nice" sounding as Sterac). For reference, I also like some of the Northern Electronics techno, Hypnus, Silent Season, Amandra, Asc. Anyone have recommendations of artists with a similar techno style to Sterac? Thanks! Sand Leaper I think you're looking into the wrong Detroit people for something similar to early Steve Rachmad. He's closer to guys like Kenny Larkin and Carl Craig than Jeff Mills or Juan Atkins in approach and sound, so just look into some of those people's early releases: https://www.discogs.com/Dark-Comedy...ys/master/22866 https://www.discogs.com/Various-Virtualsex/master/30817 https://www.discogs.com/69-The-Soun...ic/master/25496 There's also a lot of good stuff on Eevo Lute. paulversuspaul sterac tracks are absolute floor bombs when dropped live on a good sound system. Woony Yeah, the early Sterac stuff is very much in that dutch detroit-techno style, if you dig around Eeevo Lute and all the related labels and artists, you'll find a ton of stuff. There's also a ton of that kinda stuff on New Electronica, mainly compilations. You'll probably also like mid 90s Dave Angel, there's a lot of detroit-y UK stuff from that era that you'll probably like. I really like Deniro but I think he's more influenced by the late 90s/early 2000s Sterac stuff which is very Hood-ish. It's a sound that I'm also kinda obsessed by. capricorn15 Thank you guys for the recommendations. Greatly appreciated! I will check these out this week. By the way, last weekend I was driving on the freeway while listening to the Sterac album and I really felt in awe by the music. I am glad that it is still fresh and new to me right now. :) CLICK TO RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE
