Electronic a (or "techno" as it is so often incorrectly coined as) music does not follow the same rules as rap, pop, country, hip-hop, or any other music genre in general for that matter. For example: if you purchase a CD by Nelly Furtado or "fitty" cent, chances are that you expect all of the songs on that CD to have been done by the artist who released it. This does not hold true for electronic music: a CD released by DJ Tiesto or Armin Van Buuren may only have one or two songs on the album that have actually been produced by the artist who released the album.



Therefore, you cannot apply the same logic to an Electronica CD as you would a CD by a mainstream artist. For example:

If you buy an album by, say, nickleback (or whatever the hell kids listen to these days) and you like all or most of the songs on the album, then chances are you can safely presume to like the band as a whole.

If, however, you buy a techno CD (Tiesto's In Search of Sunrise series, for example) and you like all or most of the songs on that CD, you cannot presume that you will like the DJ because 90% of the songs on that album were not his. You can appreciate that DJ's particular taste in music, but the CD itself tells you nothing about how well his technical DJ'ing skills are or what kind of music he typically produces himself.

If you think this problem is all in my head, just take a look at Global Groove.com to Buy Techno Vinyl or Buy Nu Skool Vinyl. This site provides you best song ever.

I am a keen techno and all round electronic music producer / DJ. During the course of my DJ career, one of the toughest challenges is finding the techno tunes I want in my sets, hence why I have found this page. It has took me years to master a technique for finding the tracks I want so I am going to share it with you!

An easy option is to Buy Techno Vinyl or Buy Nu Skool Vinyl from DJ's you like - there are loads out there including series such as Fabric, Fuse, Global Underground and much more. Once you have a good selection the key is to pick tracks you like off these songs and then simply search for them. However, one of the down sides to this technique is you can find that your sets may sound just like what you've heard on the songs you have bought, so I advise buying a good few cd's and taking 1 or 2 techno tunes off each one. This can be quite costly as CD's aren't cheap.

Alternatively you can check new releases, charts and DJ recommendations on vinyl and download websites - pretty much allot these sites have a facility where you can listen before you Buy Techno Vinyl or Buy Nu Skool Vinyl. This can be time consuming but it will give your techno mix a more original sound and wont seem like you are replicating a CD.

A cost cutting technique on this option can be finding tracks you like on vinyl websites then actually purchasing them on download websites! This works out cheaper as the average cost of a vinyl is significantly more expensive than downloading a track

One of my favorite techniques which is cheaper than the first option but similar is downloading free live techno club mix sets (links to live techno club mixes below) . Once you have found a set you like - find a tune you like then get it tagged by using Shazam (link also below) - a service where you dial a code on your mobile phone, put it next to your speaker and you receive a text telling you what the track is.
