You after new stuff or old school?

If you're after some old school stuff try a few of these classics:

Underworld - Rez
Underworld - Dark and Long
Underworld - Two Months Off
Joey Beltram - Energy Flash
Bizarre Inc. - Playing With Knives
Prodigy - Wind It Up
2 Bad Mice - Bombscare
Liquid - Sweet Harmony
Jonny L - Jonny L
Papua New Guinea - The Future Sound Of London
Shades Of Rhythm - Shades Of Rhythm
Altern 8 - Activ8
The Source Feat. Candi Staton - You Got The Love
808 State - Pacific State
Moby - Go
Orbital - Chime
Orbital - Impact



Those are just some classic tunes from the last 15 years that loosely fall into the techno/hard house/rave bracket.

Alternatively just look for stuff by some of the top djs of the recent past:

Laurent Garnier
Carl Cox
Paul Pakenfold
Sasha
Paul Van Dyjk
John Digweed
Deep Dish
Sander Kleinenberg
Sven Vath
Dave Clarke
Tony De Vit
Felix da Housecat
Armand van Helden
DJ Shadow

But if you're on about that shitey bing boing hard house crap that I hear blaring from Citroen Saxos of an evening on the weekend...... fuck off.

More tunes:

A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray
Josh Wink - Higher State of Consciousness
Tony De Vit - Are You All Ready
DJ Shadow - Organ Donor
Leftfield - Song Of Life
Age Of Love - Age Of Love or Unity 3, I forget

leftfield are great. i used to think moby was superb until i heard leftfield. They shit on moby.

try some tiesto for some mainstream. also go exploring the french techno scene. Vitalic is very good live.

If you are looking to chill try some massive attack. Aquired taste but if you like them you love them
