    Electronic music - both underground and mainstream - are massive.

    The song you linked isnt so much "techno" as it is more "eurodance". Techno is quite a vast genre. You might like to try people like Orbital, The Orb, Leftfield, BT for various techno varieties. Or even my music :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I used to be into techno, which eventually evolved into dubstep, which I guess is kind of aggressive techno. But nowadays the closest I get to techno is rave remixes :slight_smile:

    It still technically falls under the category of techno, being that it is made electronically without the need for a band per say.

    The only people that use the word techno that way are people that don't know what techno is. It's a self-perpetuating misnomer

    Sounds like a nice idea, but will need a new thread for that 'cause the OP was asking about tech tunes.

    All the best.

    There is no such thing as simple techno. There are a bunch of things that fall under subcategories that are still techno, but have their own slur on things such as rave, dubstep, trance etc.

    Quite the contrary, I was hoping for people to give suggestions on what I should listen to next :grin:! Here's another good one: SANDSTORM (darude) - YouTube

    True True.

    Well, dubstep isn't techno, and rave isn't always either. Techno is usually a sort of unusual tune that has the same sound throughout the song but altered slightly on specific notes, as well as usually having a constant background sound (not really sure how to describe it)

    I would say that's more electro house than tech house. You might like these:

    Alesso - Dynamite (Original Mix) - YouTube
    Alvaro - Make Me Jump (Original Mix) - YouTube
    Ivan Gough vs. Stevie Mink & Steve Bleas - BOOM! (Original Mix) - YouTube
    David Guetta - Delirious (Laidback Luke Remix) - YouTube
    Jon Cutler ft. E Man - It's Yours (Nice7 Remix) - YouTube

    All the best.

    LOVE Sandstorm!!!!!
    I think Im getting a bit more of an idea about what typical techno actually is. And if it is what I think it is - I usually find it boring like a lot of this recent electro house.

    Does not pleasd my auditory receptors.

    Essentially, dubstep in it's typical form, is a recurring beat that's been altered every so often with most songs also having a secondary beat in the background. It's like a mutated version of Techno that works in certain senses.
