Old Techno Songs

Who knows or remembers old techno songs like "James Brown
is dead" or "Who is Elvis", etc... They were enough
commercials in the first 90's.

Well, here is a few amusing downloads:

A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray (classic track, man!)
Technotronic - Pump up the jam
S-Express - Theme from S-Express
M.A.R.S. - Pump up the volume (The one and only number one
hit-single to ever come from the 4AD label)

best art of noise track is the prodigy remix "all of us are
one people" . guy called gerald is good his early stuff was
more house - he's all about the jungle nowadays which isnt a
criticism - i'm still looking to find "hot lemonade" on cd
. anyone know where i could find the very first reactivate
cd with t99 ,joey beltram etc on it?

Kraftwerk....

In my opinion, "electric cafe" is far better than drukQS....
"the telephone line" has such a cool groove to it....

Pump on the volume was cool!

What's about "ELECTRICA SALSA"... it wasn't techno but was
funny...

In the first 90's I remember a song which name was
"Anasthesia" if I remember well... is it possible???
It was very rumorous and fast with a lot of voice who said:"
wuohohoho... wuohohoho... etc..." :D

I remember also the other song called "James Brown Still
Alive"... eheheh...

I love Techno of first 90's... in that period born my actual
nick \/\/ooÆ’er Attack... it was the name of a Techno Tape
recorded by me.

Hi Wooof, i remember this songs as it was yesterday :=). It
was an amazing period ('88-'92). When you are looking for
more quality, Derrick may, Juan Atkins or Carl Craig in his
retroactive days.

I agree with you, 88-92 was an amazing period for acid and
techno music.

Yeah, i wish i was grown up in London at that time. Belgium
is also OK for early raves

derrick may "beyond the dance" and "strings of life"...

I remember an old techno song by The Human Resources... it
said "I'm the only dominator..."

Someone remember Ramirez or Digital Boy?

Dominator was huge over here in the UK...

On R&S...amazing mentasm style hoover sounds and
lightning-fast rapping...

and I still listen to Strings Of Life a lot...amazing deep
track...seemed to be playing everywhere when it was first
released...a true master of techno...

I only heard it last summer (Strings of Life) as I was too
young for the house explosion. It still sounds fresh today.

Derrick may is the man! I have all is records. The only
missing item is that mispress on Pheerce city. Long time ago
we have something new from him.
