UK Techno "Lightning Swords of Death" 1989-1995

[chava]

the groove threatens to spill beyond the track



1994 a great year for this stuff.

More dubstep should have sounded like this.

Didn't know this. Weird and funky. Lovely.

Couldn't get my head around this when it surfaced. Totally redefined techno as it were. Trance and techno never got together after this. Vogel was and is completely underrated in UK (and is as techncally capable as AFX), but is (was) revered on the continent:

He's highly rated amongst the london heads who know, but yes.

Not that many UK techno producers around, really. But the quality ratio way better than German producers. US still comes out on top though.

ice cold gloomy trancey business.



remix is mental, bobby conders goes trance.

Too much trance in the early years of German techno.

1994 bizniz - Darren Price also made similar stuff like this. Garage-y but so detroit. incredible and then the bass tones.

UK producer on R&S, multiple 303s jabbering to compete to be the most ungodly funky monster.



as featured on this mix.

 

[thirdform]

more slick hardcore techno from Mike Dred - Hard Acid was never made as polished as this. Those kicks will tear you a new one.

 

[chava]

And of course this extremely well produced Mike Dred acid trance classic. ..

 

[thirdform]

rare as encrusted 93 jungle techno all about those double timed kicks.

Luke Slater - X-Tront 1 ( 1993 )

Techno Acid TB-303 action

 

[bassbeyondreason]

'88 but well ahead of its time, has to be the maddest UK acid track:

 

[thirdform]

more 80s vets getting in on the game. This is how progressive trance should have sounded, now and then. perfect.

T.A.G.C - Broadcast Test Transmission 2 ( 1989 )

and yet more 80s industrial types... a Clock DVA offshoot

 

[thirdform]

Early Josh Brent production - ghostly...

 

[thirdform]

More 1991 magic, barking dog rabies amphetamine psychosis funk. This is hardcore, def not 'intelligent' techno. that period between 90 and 91 when techno was still a rave sound - to be reunited somewhat in 93 is the essence really.

a-side is definitely not dated, ruthless gangsta sleaze guaranteed to have gotten Börte Üjin Khatun going through multiple orgasms knowing the terrors she would unleash on the world from old genghis's seed. miss out at your own peril, this alongside mazdaratti E.O.D and a few other weapons in any self-respecting avant-mod techno heads arsenal from this era inaugurated a new revolution in club sexuality — suddenly it was no longer the summer of love but the fantasy of emptying a .99 clip into prince charles' head (wanking over elizabeth taylor crashing her car? we long since left that behind ballard) most kiddy gabba can't touch this delightful slice of treason...

Planetary Assault Systems - In From The Night ( 1993)

the sound of seagulls dying soaked in acid rain

'88 but well ahead of its time, has to be the maddest UK acid track:

Tucked away on the b-side of their chartbusting song with Lisa Stansfield
