The best techno music to listen to in the office

The best techno music to listen to in the office

Lender · Houston, TX · Member since 2012 · 83 posts · 69 votes

Okay, I have been dying to post something in the Off-Topic Forum, but haven't been able to think of a funny enough subject until this morning.

I'm currently listening to 2 Unlimited's "Twilight Zone (Rave Version)" on my computer speakers while doing paperwork here in the office. It's awesome.

Any suggestions on the best techno music to listen to while doing repetitive tasks in the office would be greatly appreciated. :)

The only techno I get into anymore is Vanessa Mae. The techno beat gets me going but the classical gets the synapses firing. Outside of that I like some classic Oakenfold house mixes.

    Okay, after much delay, here's my kickin' techno selection:

    - The Things You Say (Bpm Radio Edit) ... by Cicada
    - Bring the Noise Remix (Pump-kin Remix) ... by Public Enemy vs Benny Benassi
    - Illmerica (Extended Mix) ... by Wolfgang Gartner
    - Ghosts N Stuff ... by Deadmau5
    - It's Not Over (Club Mix) ... by Paffendorf
    - Feel Alive ... by Benassi Bros.
    - Music Sounds Better With You ... by Stardust
    - Ultra Violet ... by Way Out West
    - Sorry (Dirty South Remix) ... by Kaskade
    - Put 'Em Up (Radio Edit) ... by Edun
    - It's Too Late (Dirty South Remix) ... by Dirty South vs Evermore
    - Strobe (Club Edit) ... by Deadmau5
    - C'mon (Tiesto vs Diplo) ... by Tiesto & Diplo
    - I Remember ... by Deadmau5 & Kaskade
    - Feel the Beat ... by Darude
    - Levels ... by Avicii
    - Twilight Zone (Rave Version) ... by 2 Unlimited
    - Tribal Dance 2.4 (Long Version) ... by 2 Unlimited

    But all the songs have to be played in that exact order or the groove doesn't kick in to its full effect. :)

    Other songs which technically aren't techno but worth it too:
    - Barbra Streisand ... by Duck Sauce
    - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger ... by Daft Punk
    - One More Time ... by Daft Punk
    - Cascade ... by Hyper
    - Electro Lude ... by Hyper
    - tracks 4 through 11 of the album "Drive" by The Crystal Method. (Unfortunately not available for download in the United States, but CD should be obtainable from Amazon)
    - Roboslut ... by The Crystal Method (only available on a soundtrack for a movie called "London")
    - In Dust We Trust ... by The Chemical Brothers
    - My Spine ... by Fluke
    - Junk ... by Ferry Corsten
    - Spybreak! ... by Propellerheads
    - To Get Down ... by Timo Maas

    I love this list! :)

    Okay, I have graduated from techno music and am now listening to a mixture of just awesome, cool stuff. And so I have to make a new playlist!

    Bobby's new playlist:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    - Rise (The Above Edit) ... by Soul Providers
    - 7-29-04 The Day Of ... by David Holmes
    - Ocean's 12 ... by Groovy Beds
    - Ocean's 12 ... by Kaztake Takeuchi
    - Stealing the Stock (Intro) ... by David Holmes
    - Amsterdam ... by David Holmes
    - Gritty Shaker ... by David Holmes
    - All Sewn Up ... by David Holmes
    - Velocity ... by Beat Pharmacy
    - Rolf Royce ... Tosca & Stephan Graf Hadik Wildner
    - Rito a Los Angeles … by Giuseppe De Luca
    - Theme from Andrex … by Shawn Lee’s Ping Pong Orchestra
    - You’ve Been Spiked … by Chris Joss
    - You Wish … by Nightmares On Wax
    - Boogaloogalick … Les Hommes
    - Smash It … by Fuzz Townshend

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    Yes, the first eight songs on the list were featured in one of three Ocean's movies by Steven Soderbergh. They're great.

    All in all this is just such a fricking awesome list. Just awesome.

    If you opt to only get one song on this list, though, make sure it's "You’ve Been Spiked" by Chris Joss. ..Just a killer groove!

    Bobby that is a killer groove :) Thanks for sharing... 

    Not sure how I ended up on this thread but I'm happy to keep it going... I need to put together a high energy playlist. Lately I've been listening to a lot of ambient music like Brian Eno's Ambient 4: On Land.

    Heard Thom Yorke's The Eraser?

    I go with Deadmau5 station on pandora if I need to get a lot accomplished in a short amount of time. Lots of analysis then I stick to the Beatles station.

    The only station I've listened to over the last 6 years has been Energy98 on iTunes radio & the Energy98 podcasts (mainly the music podcasts).  It's energizing, like the Energizer Bunny!

    @Bobby Gerry I'll have to check out all those artists...

    Thom Yorke is the singer of Radiohead if you're familiar with them at all. I like his solo record The Eraser a lot.
