What are some good techno/dance songs for someone new to the genre?

I’ve never really listened to techno/dance songs that much, but after listening to a few at a party recently, I’ve found i really like them. Any suggestions on some good ones? Thanks.

First of all… I have to say:
If you want pre-made dance mixes, get on itunes, and download the Radio 538 Podcasts. THESE MIXES ARE FREE!!! There are three mixes on the Radio 538 Podcast, and you can download a new one from any of these hour-long mixes every week: Tiesto’s Clublife, Powermix, and Dance Department.

To start off this playlist, here’s just a fun track:Late Night Alumni – Another Chance (Kaskade Homage to Roger)… Just a classic party track, a fun oldie that brings back many memories. ahh… 2008 in San Francisco and Argentina… ;-)

Okay, so let’s get started… You’re new to the genera, so I’m gonna try to have a diverse playlist with songs that are pop, house, dance/disco, trance, and a mixture of several of those genera’s. A lot of these songs are base heavy. Get some good speakers that can support that at a high volume for a long period of time without distorting… and one with a good sound spectrum. So far this year(2009), there are too many great tracks to list, but, of those that I can remember, these are ones I like (plus some 2008 songs, I didn’t know that you’re not allowed to post up more then 10 links at a time…)

1.)Tiesto & Sneaky Sound System – "I Will Be Here" (Wolfgang gartner remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXzSg6FhAP4

2.) Joe T Vannelli ft. Helen & Terry – "Doctor Love" (2 Max’s Rmx)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mEriVwHNBw

3.) Flo Rida feat. Wynter – "Sugar" (Mondotek Remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTbayLp3_kg

4.) Freemasons feat. sophie Ellis Bextor – "Heartbreak (make me a dancer)" (bitrocka club mix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ3QXzb6IR8

5.) James Doman – Everything is gonna be alright (original extended mix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TovgO_Ax7A0

6.) Richard Vision & Static Revenger – "I like that" (Original Mix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbgTnWDWsN8

7.) Groovewatchers – "Sexy Girl" (Chuckie mix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDgY-ulLYQY

8.) Till West & Eddie Thoneick vs Alexandra Prince 0 H’n'Bye (Eric Smax & Thomas Gold Remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApuE5eivvx4

10.) Dobenbeck feat. Joanna – Please don’t go (Chris Reece mix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW5p-jVMinY

Honorable mention:
Zoe Badwi – Release Me (tv rock edit)
TV Rock Feat. Rudy – "In The Air" (Axwell Remix)

That Zoe Badwi song is an amazing track, so full of energy, and the TV Rock jam is huge in Moscow, Ibiza, Berlin, Paris, etc. Add me as a contact and I can send you a larger list, 2009 dj mixes (great for parties!) and anything else you’d like.

Also, from 2008… (a great year for dance and techno music), I ALSO HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU GET THESE TRACKS TOO!!! Base-heavy, emotional tunes, you don’t want to miss out on any of these tracks.

Top Hits:
Jussi Polet feat NJ Better – "That You Never Know" (Sami S Remix)
Late Night Alumni – Another Chance (Kaskade’s Homage to Roger Mix)
David West & Inkfish – Hello Piano (Sebastien Leger Mix)
San vs. Leonid Rudenko – Summerfish 2009 (Matakena Saint Tropez Mix)
Max C – Pretending (Matakena Remix)
Dobenbeck feat. Joanna – Please don’t go (Chris Reece mix)

Fun Bridge Tracks to fill in in between your "Top Hits" (many of these are club bangers in their own right, I just couldn’t fit them into the first playlist):

Bingo Players vs Chocolate Puma – Touch Me (Original Mix)
Adam K & Soha – Night Train
Alpabeat – Boyfriend (Wawa Club Mix)
Axwell &Sebastian Ingrosso vs Salem Al Fakir – It’s True (original mix)
Adele – Hometown Glory (Axwell Remix)
Craig Robin Feat. Sammy Jay – Rock Chick (Wendel Kos Latin groove extended mix)
Afrojack & Partysquad – Drop Down
Late Night Alumni – Empty Streets (Haji & Emanual Mix)
Da Groove Doctors feat. Tommie Nibbs – All We Need is Love (Dennis Christopher Mix)
Jonas Steur Ft. Julie Thomson – Cold Winds
Robert Abigail – Mojioto song (Duke Jules remix)
Sash! Ft. Stunt – Raindrops (Fonzerelli Remix)
Laurent Wolf – No Stress (Anton Wick Remix)

Look at the right side where it says Related Genres…then right in the middle under Electronic it will list some genres like House, Trance, Drum N Bass, Ambient……just click on each one and read about them.

Hope that helps.

What should i search to find good techno club music?

Im hosting a dance party and i want to have some crazy techno club music and remixes.

Check out a sweet techno band called RapidFflow on iTunes. They are spectacular and I suggest getting their self titled album. Here are some links to some of their songs.

Can you recommend good computer programs to make techno with?

I deeply enjoy beautiful techno and want to try making some of my own. I don’t know where to start and don;t have a large wallet, so I need suggestions!

I’ve torrented and installed Hypersonic 2, but it crashed at startup.
It’s for my laptop which is a HP Pavilion ZV6000 with boosted ram. I was able to run eJay without lag, but it seemed too basic for what I’m looking for..
Which programs would you recommend? Serious answers please!

I just torrent "Techno Music Software" on Pirate Bay and it gave me some suggestions.
