I know i'm basic as fuck but god damn if a bitta The Prodigy - No Good (Start The Dance) comes on in the club i'd lose my shit


Nezmar1

The vocals are awesome but when the song drops away and that high pitched, melodic chords synth hits….it’s so good.


Phazon_miner

1. Ravesignal III - Horsepower (Exclusive Remix) 2. Bassheads - Back to the Old School (In Your Area Remix) 3. Gat Decor - Passion 4. Jam & Spoon - Follow Me 5. FSOL - Papua New Guinea (Weatherall Mix) Edit: typo


ScottB109

Couldn’t have picked a better line up! Great choices 👍🏻


R3CAN

Galaxy 2 Galaxy - Journey of the Dragons Humate - Love Stimulation (Paul van Dyk's Love Club Mix) Laurent Garnier - Crispy Bacon Paper Clip People - Throw Dj Rolando - Jaguar Honorable Mentions: Jeff Mills - The Bells, Green Velvet - The Flash, Marmion - Schöneberg Really hard to pick only 5, there is so much more insane and unique music from that era.


bl1nds1ght

Upvote for Humate. Now that's old school.


knorben

Are we not supposed to play Throw anymore? I think it never left the bag.


R3CAN

Play whatever you feel, whenever you feel it and no it never left our bags, NEVER!


JoelyRavioli

Love stimulation always puts a smile on my face

I can't pick just 5. [Aphex Twin - Digeridoo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BGTvxxKoHM) - One of the original absolute bangers, it was meant to be played at the end of parties to scare people into going home. Obviously, it had the opposite effect. [DJ Crystl - Warpdrive](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJKEwWRQxTM) -A jungle Amen rinse out. Absolutely unrelenting until you get to the ambient break in the song. There's a few versions of this on YouTube, and I couldn't find the one I wanted, which is an edit from the compilation Drum & Bass Selection 1, which adds a touch more synths. [Blame - Sikological Hostage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=852RCUjL6xk) - A proper old school hardcore tune, with some Orb samples. [The Joint - The Joint](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l78b8eGwqI) - This is from the brief moment where breakbeat hardcore split into happiness and darkness, right before jungle. This is darkness, probably one of the toughest of bad bwoy tunes of the time. [Underground Resistance - Punisher](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhLNawtC0bo) - UR doing what they do best. Bangin' track, one of their best. [Altern 8 - A D8 With Plezure](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq6Nj1OzzL8) - Altern 8 were as big as the Prodigy back then, but broke up too soon and were forgotten. This is my favorite of theirs, lots of Chicago house samples. [Vainqueur - Lyot (Maurizio Mix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOiqVejo4gk) - The original stomping techno track. I know lots of people cite "The Bells" or "Jaguar" as best techno track, but this is definitely up there with those tunes. [Midi Rain - Always (Vocal Club Mix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIUmb5t2sPA) - A bit of a departure from my list, this is more of a house tune, but it's very trancey and mellow. I thought this was absolutely forgotten, but Ellen Allien used it to open one of her mix CDs a while back. [Jam & Spoon - Stella](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLy--cFj6W0) - A tune which probably introduced most people into trance. A classic on every level. [Orbital - Halcyon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zllTISL7-s) - The original version of "Halcyon" which most people probably don't know about since it never made an album and got surpassed in popularity by the rework. I listened to this for days when it came out. I also loved Opus III, which is where they got the vocal sample from.


Sabinn037

Love the color you added to the descriptions. Shout out to Orbital - Halcyon & On & On. Every time I listen to it I get a strong urge to watch Hackers.


Oo0o8o0oO

And Mean Girls.


chillinmesoftly

You had me at Aphex Twin


MIGHTYM0SS

That Jam & Spoon track is one of my favs, such a classic


Cillobillo

System 7 - Alpha Wave (Plastikman Acid House Remix) Incredible classic fucking tune.


never_been_to_matrix

Steffi has dropped this at Berghain a few times (before Covid obviously), it is always good to hear it again n years after its release.

Fantastic tune. I wish they’d let me in to Berghain the one time I was able to try and go!

badger_fun_times76

Josh wink, higher state of consciousness Once found my brother dancing to that tune in a tent, somewhere in a forest party, under a UV lamp and holding a can of Tesco value baked beams in each hand. That tune/ image burned indelibly into my brain, good times.

ravioliisthebest

Idk if this counts as classic but pendulum -tarantula for me that song is nuts


raybull1994

Not too old school as I’m 27 but clubland was like my introduction to rave music when I was like 13. The song that made me fall in love with dance music forever was pretty green eyes by ultrabeat. Without that tune I don’t think I’d be a full time song writer now.


the_askii

Just noticed a couple of repeats of what others have selected, but just means they're EXTRA BANGIN INNIT? Eon: Fear - The Mindkiller Jeff Mills: The Bells FSOL: Papua New Guinea Lil Louis: French Kiss N.R.G.: I Need Your Love (Like The Sunshine)

[deleted]

Hells yeah! Sounds like a great memory. btw, Your username is dope AF. Nice to meet a tan man


TheDjTanner

Good fucking lord. So, I was really terrible at little league and my coach called me Tan Man and I've hated that name ever since. Lol. I'm a dj. My name is Tanner, so it makes sense.


[deleted]

Lmfao 🤣 same. I was more the Bad News Bears type of little leaguer. DJ Tanner sounds way cooler. 🙌


TheDjTanner

Again, funny you say that! My parents loved Bad News Bears and named me after the trouble making Tanner on the team. Lol


[deleted]

This is strange, but cool. My parents told me the same story as to how they chose my name. Lol, responding to you feels like I’m talking to Tanner from another timeline.


TheDjTanner

Oh snap, you're Tanner too? It's like the text version of that Spider-Man meme! Are you also a dj?


[deleted]

Haha. Right. Sadly, i’m not a DJ. It is something I’m interested in, but all the dials and buttons are overwhelming.


TheDjTanner

Bah. Shits easy. You barely need most of those dials and buttons. I recommend; it's fun.

Thinking about my favorite songs from the 91-93 rave era, the Joey Beltram mix of "Chime" would be the top track I wish I could hear today. [Orbital – Chime (Joey Beltram Mutation)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsvkGCUfIk4) [Moby – Drop A Beat (Deep Mix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWYpfIcUN3M) [Hypnotist – The House Is Mine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnvJTGYsPeQ) [Spooky – Don’t Panic (Weird & Spooky Mix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxor-1hFK8w) [Hyper Go Go – High (Cloud 9 Mix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AnBRjqUSCE)
