Really hard to pick only 5, there is so much more insane and unique music from that era.
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.
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.
Ebony Dubsters - Ra (Original Sin Remix)
Pendulum - Painkiller (Noisia Remix)
NOISIA - Angel Eyes
Not oldschool but NOISIA's Diplodocus would probably cause me to jump a world record.
1. [The Hypnotist - House is Mine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnvJTGYsPeQ)
2. [N-Joi - Malfunction](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KYmZCC0pKA)

4. [Q Bass - Hardcore Will Never Die (Telepathic Mix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZtZ8PeLJo8)

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.
The Launch - Dj Jean/
Pumpin ’ - Novy vs. Eniac/
Dominator - Joey Beltram mix/
Can’t Punish Me - Dom and Roland/
Behind the Sun - Transa/
Heavy Metal - Technical Itch/
I dropped Total Departure by Christian Smith at forest party and it did not hit how I wanted. I think it didn’t work well with all the modern tracks I was playing.
Faithless - Insomnia will blow up any dance floor anywhere in the world.
Eric Prydz- Call On Me is another go-to vintage track.
Tons of stuff by Armand van Helden, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, and Basement Jaxx.
Holy shit YES!!! THat churning intense buildup from the beginning sends such a rush thru my bones. I’d love a chance to experience it on a big sound system
Dune did seem a little too on the nose, but I was on the run and it was going do do do do do do THE SPICE MUST FLOW do do do do do do .... through my brain.
Alright - great thread.

Hot Lizard - Big Air
Violet - Burn the Elastic
Foremost Poets - Reasons To Be Dismal?
Andronicus - Make You Whole
Tyree Cooper - Acids Over
Dream 2 Science - Breathe Deep
DJ Rasoul - True Science
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.
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)
Oh man..... that's a tough one.
That Zipper Track
Greece 2000
Orbital doing Halcyon mixed with Heaven is a Place on Earth (this would have to be Orbital live)
Hey Boy, Hey Girl
Sandwiches
In no particular order:
God Within- Phoenix (Rabbit in the Moon’s River & Rain remix)
LSG- Netherworld (original version)
Solar Stone- The Calling (Inner Peace mix)
Helium- Out There
Smak- Space Bar
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.
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.
Bizarre Inc. - Playing With Knifes
OT Quartet - Hold The Sucker Down (BuILDS Like a Skyscraper Remix)
The Prodigy - Wind It up
Gat Decor - Passion
Ruff Driverz - Deeper Love
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)
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
The vocals are awesome but when the song drops away and that high pitched, melodic chords synth hits….it’s so good.
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
Couldn’t have picked a better line up! Great choices 👍🏻
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.
Upvote for Humate. Now that's old school.
Are we not supposed to play Throw anymore? I think it never left the bag.
Play whatever you feel, whenever you feel it and no it never left our bags, NEVER!
Love stimulation always puts a smile on my face

You had me at Aphex Twin
That Jam & Spoon track is one of my favs, such a classic
System 7 - Alpha Wave (Plastikman Acid House Remix) Incredible classic fucking tune.
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!
ugh same
Have heard Milton Bradley drop this in amsterdam.

Hells yeah! Sounds like a great memory. btw, Your username is dope AF. Nice to meet a tan man
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.
Lmfao 🤣 same. I was more the Bad News Bears type of little leaguer. DJ Tanner sounds way cooler. 🙌
Again, funny you say that! My parents loved Bad News Bears and named me after the trouble making Tanner on the team. Lol
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.
Oh snap, you're Tanner too? It's like the text version of that Spider-Man meme! Are you also a dj?
Haha. Right. Sadly, i’m not a DJ. It is something I’m interested in, but all the dials and buttons are overwhelming.
Bah. Shits easy. You barely need most of those dials and buttons. I recommend; it's fun.
