Where do you get your techno?

[h3x]

Ok... I am just curious, because around here, no stores sell techno. Its your choice of rap, rock, or country, and that gets kinda boring. So, wehre does everyone here get their toons? I usually end of downloading it, or ripping it from the web onto my mp3 player. What about you dudes?

[Damian Nation]

Either download it or buy it online. The best way to get it is through the online stores whenever you can find one. They usually stock a shitload of great artists.

depends on what you're after, really - if i find a tune i want to buy, i do a google search.

no, seriously.

also, i like to go to www.deeprhythms.com for the free downloadable mixes - some of them are really quite good, if you're into your deep house.

[Damian Nation]

Now that you're getting into the free stuff, I don't know why, but there are so many gabber songs online that you can just download for free. It's just something about the genre, I guess. I can't really put my finger on it.

[the100thmonkey]

i think it's because the returns on releasing a tune are so slim that most people would rather just have someone hear their music than think about making it a DRM crippled piece of cr@p that you have to pay for.

there're some great sites out there.

That link you supplied was awesome. Although you spelled it wrong, I downloaded some free mixed, and I am addicted now.

corrected. :D

try mix #29 - Cheap thrills, if you haven't already - it's got some brilliant tunes on it.

I get most of mine from school - through the network via OURTUNES. It is really really nifty, can get so much music so fast! I normally only listen to techno while working out, it is really great for that. The big prblem I have is sorting through all of the crap that is published - and finding the good stuff that is so far and in between.

Soulseek - or used to.

beatport.com is sweet

for records though, since I live near detroit there's plenty of techno

Dj Doboy is the master of trance; http://www.djdoboy.com/

This site is VERY useful, especially if you're a DJ; http://www.g2p.org/

I rip streams off di.fm... but for trance. They have a techno station too though.

You can buy it online, sites like cdbaby sell alot.

I find out about bands from friends, myspace and allmusic.com, then I get them from my schools DC++ network and indietorrents.

Everything is on it. It's a P2p site.

Too bad it's by invite only. Anyone that has invites and is willing to give me one please feel free. As far as the question goes, I usually get my trance at various torrents sites, and soulseek.

[Cannondale]

I'd appreciate an Oink invite very much. Cheers.

Hmm, all that was new to me. I'll pas thank you.

[IndependentClauses]

Yeah, it's pretty crazy stuff....I'm not a part of it, for sure - I'm anti-illegal downloading. But it's fascinating stuff.

techno has two meanings -- it's funny -- for europeans they mean

stuff with no vocals, really underground "hard" stuff -- for

americans, when they say "techno", often they mean what in europe is

called "dance". And "dance" in europe is a lot more mainstream and

pop-oriented

for "american" style techno (i.e. european "dance"), the best example

I've found is this (itunes link):

http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearchResults?albumTerm=Euro+Club+Hits+Vol +



strangely it's called "euro club hits" ... which makes things even

more confusing ;

for "european" style techno... i.e. the stuff with no songs, I

recommend going to www.beatport.com and checking out the stuff in the

"techno" section

[socialcrawl]

I get my techno from online radio and maybe from the regular radio
