It wasn't a conversation, Lana. I was just talking to my gun, not with it. Pretty big difference

Can't Top The Dutch (Original Mix) - Olav Basoski & Gregor Salto (Golden Banana)
Don't be fooled by the name, this track is pure House with some Disco and dancey as fuck.

Metrum (Original Club Mix) - Fedde Le Grand (Silver Banana)
Tech House banger.  I'd love to hear this live.

Drift (Original Club Mix) - Funkagenda & Adam K (Silver Banana)
Check out this collaboration.  I got damn excited when I saw it.  They went for an epic Progressive House track.

A Certain Sound (Original Mix) - Firebeatz
Tech House ala the style of Hardwell.  It's that Dutch Tech sound, kinda progy, always ravey.

FuNK eL (Lazy Rich Club Mix) - DJ Dank
Electro House on the heavier side.  I feel like Lazy Rich actually never sleeps.

With Me (Original Mix) - Pryda
New Pryda track.  Not super impressed with the EP, unfortunately, but this was the definite take away track.

Doin' Ya Thang (Original Mix) - Oliver $
This has been #1 on beatport.  Great vocal sample for the whole track, but otherwise just sort of repetitive House.  I'm not sure I get it entirely, but it's definitely fun.

A New World (Original Mix) - Mord Fustang
Melodic Dubstep that drops into heavy, complex stuff.  It's got elements like Skrillex, especially in the vocal chopping, but not as heavy or scary.

A Little Louder (Muzzaik Remix) - Kid Massive & Peyton
Relaxed House on the Techy side maybe.  Good for lounge type situations.

Manaus (Original Mix) - Alex Kenji, Marco Lys
Tribal House.

Eargasm (Daddy's Groove Re-Edit) - Black Raw (GOLDEN BANANA)
If at least one DJ doesn't play this at Ultra, something's wrong.  Awesome Progressive House, sort of reminds me of Open Your Eyes.

Shinjuku (Original Club Mix) - Funkagenda (Silver Banana)
Tech House on the Progressive side.  Reminds me of Conscindo.

Motor Bass Get Phunked Up (Richie Hawtin Electrofunk Remix) - La Funk Mob
Some old school minimal breaks.

Candy Coated (Hatiras Vocal Remix) - MC Flipside
Fun dancey House.

Fly With Me (Tomcraft Remix) - Coloursound
Heavy and driving Electro House.

El Bandido (French Government Edit) - Nicolas Jaar
Disco House, but still big room appropriate.

Zaman (Moguai Remix) - Felix Da Housecat, Thee Nese Djouma Projesi
Progressive House with some Electro elements.

Slides (Original Mix) - Koen Groeneveld
Techno, woo!  Also Electro bass.

Opera (World Extended Mix) - Mat's Mattara feat. Rockman 
Super cheese Progressive House with an opera sample, getting played by the Swedes.

Ground Zero (Original Mix) - Jin Haze
Minimal Techno!

FC Schalke 04

We made it to the quarter finals, we're on our way to the win.  OLESDOIT!

Star Way (Venus Mix) - Moonbeam feat. Avis Vox (Golden Banana)
I just have a super big hard on for Moonbeam, what of it.  Progressive House/Techno/Trance, not really sure.

Budgie (Original Club Mix) - Funkagenda (Silver Banana)
One of the better Tech House producers out there.  Enjoy.

Bass Cannon (Original Mix) - Flux Pavilion (Silver Banana)
Final version?  Maybe...

Last Night (Afrojack Remix) - Ian Carey feat. Bobby Anthony & Snoop Dogg
Poppy Dutch/Electro House.  The first drop is actually killer.  I also like how Ian Carey is trying to be like Guetta, you'll hear it.

E.T (Futuristic Lover) (Tiesto Remix) - Katy Perry
Howboutsom Progressive House with lyrics your crowd can sing along to?

Don't Fear To Rock (Original Mix) - Lutzenkirchen
Driving Techno.

Please Don't Go (Dave Edwards Remix) - Mike Posner
Poppy but heavy Electro House.

Where Will You Go (Jesse Voorn Remix) - Phil Fuldner
Tech House on the Techy side.

Dada Ft. Leh-Lo (Dub Mix) - Soha
Some relaxed, beautiful Progressive House.  For listening or massive raves.

Pumping (Original Mix) - DJ Wady
Tech House on the Tribal side.

Cirez D

I love Eric Prydz. He's incredible. The man can just do it all. He's made old French style House, Trance/Prog, Tech, he just kills everything he tries. This post will be dedicated to his productions under the alias Cirez D, which he uses for his Minimal Techno tracks. Although there's still a trace of his Progressive style, these tracks are Tech bombs and will destroy your rave crowds.

*Also note the new poll on the right

-M

On Off (Original Mix) - Cirez D (Silver Banana)
Called the top track of 2009 by Eddie Halliwell. Although this might be a little underwhelming in your headphones, I assure you this blows up on a soundsystem.

Stockholm Marathon (Original Mix) - Cirez D
Man, Techno is just the shit. In some ways its just far more trancey than Trance, and it makes you feel like a bad ass at the same time. Techno is Trance for bad asses.

Fast Forward (Original Mix) - Cirez D
More awesome Techno.

BONUS:
Pictures On Off (Funkagenda Bootleg) - Sneaky Sound System vs. Cirez D (GOLDEN BANANA)
This bootleg is the shit. It takes the already incredible track and puts the perfect acapella over. Immediately more accessible to everyone. Major props to Funkagenda.

Pjanoo (High Contrast Remix) - Eric Prydz
And why not this awesome DnB remix of the classic Pjanoo?

Dusty Kid

The Dusty Kid rules. This kid (he can't be more than 21) from Italy has already risen as one of the top Techno producers right now. Since Minimal is 'so in' right now, then all y'all shall love these jams. He's in the same vain as a Popof or Noob.

-M

Lynchesque (Original Mix) - Dusty Kid
CRAZY fucking bomb. Really easy to mix as well, perfect tool for any Minimal/Tech DJ.

I Want Your Soul (Dusty Kid Sensational Gia Dub Mix) - Armand Van Helden
Really really awesome. Just flawlessly produced. And the Dub mix is much better than the original, in which he's got an a capella from the original Armand that just doesn't need to be there.

Disco Lies (The Dusty Kid's Fears Remix) - Moby
At 3:32, the coolest line comes in. This would drive every person in your rave crowd NUTS.

The Cat - Dusty Kid
His most famous track, really Electro. Everytime, Everyday, Anyway, Acid.

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE
The Riot - Dusty Kid
First person to figure out which giant Electro act samples this song (to much greater effect in my opinion) and write it in the comments will receive +10 Bastille Love and Admiration Points. Those will really get you far in life, so do your best. And the answer will shock you all, I guarantee it.

ALSO, just discovered a gem. Check out Funkagenda's blog. The latest entry is hilarious. You can see it HERE.

Funk's on the Agenda

Funkagenda is a producer from the UK who's been (along with Mark Knight who he works with a lot) tearing shit up. Of course we all already know that the line between Tech house and Prog House is a small one in many senses. It really varies from song to song, but this stuff definitely has that tech feel, but every once in a while I'll catch a glimpse of that Prog shit. Somebody I've been listening to for quite a while and definitely deserves some attention.

What the Fuck (Original Mix) by Funkagenda, Very well known, if you've ever been to a rave or maybe even a club you probably will have heard this song. I'm pretty sure the vocals are a Fatboy Slim sample


Good Times (Original Mix) by Funkagenda and Mark Knight, Great sample, Peace all of the time.

Man With the Red Face by Funkagenda HELL YES

If I Ever Feel Better (Mark Knight and Funkagenda) by Phoenix, Such cool cutting of those vocals. A must get.

Raindrop (Funkagenda Remix) by Basement Jaxx, Beautiful, like really beautiful. I feel like if you made this song, girls would just surround you every time you played it.

88 (Mark Knight & Funkagenda Remix) by Dave Spoon

I'll just throw this in too: Street Spirit (Funkagenda Remix) by Radiohead

My Collection by Track

In Response To This Picture...

I'm going to post some tracks with a minimal lean. If you heard these live, you'd dance like everyone else, red boy.

P.O.V. (Steve Angello Remix) - Kim Fai
This would destroy a rave crowd no question.

Good Times (Original Mix) - Mark Knight & Funkagenda
What a brilliant sample.

Took The Night - Chelley
Got this from Discodust, oddly enough. I think this would be great for a college crowd.

Cheese (Original Mix) - Afrojack
Afrojack speaks through drum machines.

Back One (Original Mix) - Dario Nunez Feat DJ Nano
These drops will get all the kids in the room to bounce.

And now for some other tracks that I've acquired recently:

Isabel (Original Mix) - Steve Angello
Trying out a tech house sound, I would have thought that Sébastien Léger made this. Cheers to Swehouse for the track. Speaking of Léger...

One More Time (Sébastien Léger Bootleg) - Daft Punk
This is one of the better remixes of Daft Punk out there. Still looking for the one Swedish House Mafia dropped at Ultra, they couldn't have possibly been doing all of that live.

The End (Arno Cost Remix) - Dirty South
Great fucking line.

Can't Sleep (Marcus Schossow pres. 1985 Club Mix) - Adrian Lux
So pretty, reminds of Fred Falke. Cheers to Swehouse. In fact, general cheers to Swehouse since I'm pretty sure there are more tracks in this post that I got form them. They fucking rule. Everyone should check that shit daily.
