Does anyone here play tech house/techno?

BattleFunk 5:11 PM - 15 May, 2011
I'm looking for new mixes to check out but keep finding garbage with top 40 and mashups on them. I play top 40 myself and want something different for the car etc =)

Currently listening to:

House
soundcloud.com Olav Basoski (Disco, Electro, House)
soundcloud.com TJR (Electro, Tech, Dutch, House)

Techno
soundcloud.com Reaky (Peaktime, Techno, Trance)

Hook me up with something to listen to away from work =)

DJ Sniffles 10:17 PM - 15 May, 2011
that one is like 3 yrs old. Maybe 2 yrs....
DJ Fez 10:19 PM - 15 May, 2011
my mix? i mean music doesnt go bad over time but some of the tracks are older yeah
DJ Sniffles 10:22 PM - 15 May, 2011
No...my mix is from 2 or 3 yrs ago.
DJ Fez 10:25 PM - 15 May, 2011

Great Aussie site for house/tech/minimal/prog/deep mixes.
BattleFunk 8:29 AM - 16 May, 2011
Thanks Fez, I'll jump on that now

Dont worry about it if they're old, I don't listen to the genre enough to know - and like Fez said, good music doesn't go bad

djbanno, thanks for the heads up, but I'm gonna pass on that one. I'd rather get mixes from DJ's specifically (instead of trawling through a website and making a lot of mistakes)

YES ive been waiting for this thread.
BattleFunk 11:52 AM - 16 May, 2011
flipmo8064, you got a better quality file? I cant listen to 128k these days

Fez, just had a listen to your mix, some nice music on there but a couple of mixes are more than shady bro! =)

Sniffles, you're up next =)
DJ Sniffles 12:46 PM - 16 May, 2011
That one isn't all tech I think. I was thinking of a different want I made around the same time. Still some good tunes on there though.
flipmo8064 9:52 PM - 16 May, 2011
The original file was recorded higher. I've never noticed but, does soundcloud give you the option to upload at original quality? Or maybe the program I'm using to convert from wav to mp3 is downgrading it. Either way, I've never had anyone mention it for only listening purposes.

I share an EPIC set that def got me inspired when I heard it last week. It's awesome!

Heres a mix i made a couple of months ago, with the tracklist

soundcloud.com
orchardlounge 3:59 AM - 17 May, 2011
I do.

soundcloud.com

Check "Prescience", "Flying By Night", and "I Hear You."
DJ Fez 4:00 AM - 17 May, 2011
Battlefunk, oh some of them were definitely shady for sure. Just wanted to see how many tracks I could layer on a couple of them. I have never really mixed tech house before, but I wanted something good to work to.
BattleFunk 9:37 AM - 17 May, 2011
Sniffles: I had a quick skim over it before I loaded it on my phone, it's got a few tracks on there I used to play - more like fidget than tech, but not to worry :)

flipmo8064: I was fine with lower quality files until I did a side by side test one day with a 320 and a 128k file. Now I know the difference it bugs the hell out of me hearing all the artefacts and mush. A general rule for mixes is usually 192k due to the size / quality ratio

Woody, thanks for the link, I'll grab that one on your recommendation =)

echa1945mf, joshhughes, orchardlounge, I'll grab those files today and check them out when I get a minute =)

Fez, I listened up until about 30 minutes and enjoyed what I heard. I'm gonna go back to it when the mood hits me again (Its on the phone now to go back to). I wouldnt worry about the mistakes too much, sometimes thats the hidden charm - not everything has to be perfect =)

Thanks for the mixes fellas =)
