Time for the latest installment of "We Called It Techno." This one is PACKED with classics. The Prodigy! Moby! Altern 8! Pet Shop Boys!
Wait. Hold up... Pet Shop Boys?! YES, Pet Shop Boys - remixed so heavily that they sound nothing like themselves and they fit right in with the rest of the set.
This one's ALL VINYL, kiddos. No laptops or MIDI controllers. Post-production applied mainly to smooth out some levels and add DJ drops.
WARNING: Contains a tiny bit of foul language.
[The title of the "We Called It Techno" series comes from the fact that I know a lot of these songs won't technically qualify as "techno" to the genre purists out there. Some, I'm sure, would qualify as old-school rave, or electro, or possibly even breakbeat. However, in Oklahoma in the 1990s, we didn't break down the subgenres too much. Most of those who went to the clubs such as Ikon back in the day would have defined the tracks as "techno." We loved the music, and we called it techno. :) ]
