Who the hell is good and who is crap? Here is a start I highly recommend Carl Craig!!! He is one of my absolute favorite techno artists! Anthony Shakir is another Detroit guy that has been putting out some excellent material. Paul Mac - Old Skool Former Pupil cd (Fragmented) this is one of the best techno (not IDM) cds of the year. Ed Rush, Optical, Andy C, Dom & Roland, Fierce Anything these artists do are awesome. They are putting out some of the best drum n bass. Labels like Virus, Ram, Moving Shadow, 31, Technical Itch, Infrared are awesome. The Good Looking Stuff is nice With regard to IDM you usually can't go wrong with Warp/Skam. Autechre is always brilliant. Chain Reaction artist!! Buy it all Pole! KRAFTWERK. I don't care what year or millenium you are talking about...Kraftwerk will always be one of the best electronic artists ever! Thievery Corporation, Depth Charge, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Dj Cam, Dj Shadow All great trip hop. Minimal techno Jeff Mills, Surgeon, Claude Young, The Advent, some Cari Lekebusch, Robert Hood, Ratio, Die Rhythmiker Electro Dopplereffekt, Anthony Rother, Sem, Keith Tucker, Soul Oddity Avoid at all cost trance!! It's garbage Avoid domestic compilations, they usually suck! > I own some stuff by Orbital which I like, and the > Aphex Twins always mix well with good spirits, but > this is pretty popular stuff. > I like music with a beat, but not the usual repetitive bass-backbeat shit > they play on Vidal Sassoon commercials.
