So
Any must haves for upbeat music?
How retro do you want to go?

Controller - In Complete Darkness.[/url] Used to love that track, it was a oasis in a big pool of cheese.
Back to the old school. Bassheads. Total classic - many fond memories of a misspent youth 😉

Usuru - Open your mind
Killer - Adamski
Atlantic Ocean - Waterfall
On a Ragga Tip - SL2

Not sure if this link still works but if not it's easy to find
hardly upbeat BB
i reserve Techno for faster Road rides
the answer to all your techno dreams lies [url= http://www.lekkerlui.nl/LandDownUnder/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=37923 ]here[/url] my friend
WARNING - HIGHLY ADDICTIVE WEBSITE
haha don't care if it's commercial or anythin, one of my favourite tunes of all time, all about the big snare with loadsa reverb!
Michael, you are an extremely bad person for posting that link.
Sweet mother of God! I only have 36GB left on this disk and there are sooooo many mixes on that site!
Damn you!
hardly upbeat BB
You don't get more upbeat than Strings of Life!
check these out:
steve lawler 'dark drums'
Quiver 'transport 5'
pole folder ' zero gold'
layo & bushwacker 'night works'
Found myself 'singing' this the other day
Dunno why Bush is at the start.

For the end.
actually you are tight BB - there are some uplifting ones in there. Jeff Mills and Aphex twin might mess with your head a bit though. As will Plastikman, i think if i listened to spastik on a road ride i'd go into some kind of irretrievable trance. i might try listening to that and Roman Flugels 'Gehts nock?' on a ride and see what happens
That Rebel MC tune is awesome, one of my all time favourites.
Great listing BB: going to have dig out my old Red Planet vinyl now!
A more uplifting Oakenfold set:

and Dave Clarke in banging techno mode:

FYI:

Roman Flugels 'Gehts nock
Indeed.
of course you'd need the noch-a-pella mix for the full on trance state
Off to see Redshape doing a live set tomorrow night 8)

Resistance [i]'Final Frontier'[/i][/url]
Ancient - and it still sounds like the future.
Yes. You simply cannot beat Underground Resistance.
had the pleasure of bending 'Mad' Mike Banks' ear for an hour or two at a Model 500 gig last year. 😳 It was also quite funny when I turned around and Derrick May was standing behind me.
My all time favourite UR track
Leftfield Not Forgotten:

and continuing the UR appreciation, one of my faves:

Much as I love old techno, it does evoke memories of a greatly-loved ex-girlfriend (who went on to help run the renowned Automatik night at the Rex Club in Paris). But then it's like disco music, the best stuff should make you feel rather sad... 😀

i came to techno late after an early career as a trance head/crasher kid. it's the wife's fault, she shared a flat with some of the people who started house of god in birmingham
i favour the Trance Nation series for general road riding/gym work. failing that the ipod is just on shuffle
Can't forget the jungle... some random selections...

No DnB...must try harder! 😉
anything labeled 'Ross' Jazz' is form 4gig of DnB given to me by my mate erm....ross. there were no album names in the tags
i have to admit the only DnB i have actually bought is Krust, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Kemistry and Storm (favourite DnB album), Amon Tobin and Roni Size

mrmichaelwright - Memberanything labeled 'Ross' Jazz' is form 4gig of DnB given to me by my mate erm....ross. there were no album names in the tags
Sad as it sounds, but the completest in me would force me to delete the 4gigs rather than not know what i was listening to.
Sad i know 😉
Jamie - i'm a bit like that, every other thing on my itunes has album art (9500 tracks) and Ross' stuff does have artist/track name which is just enough
BB - yes, some of my CDs i'm not terribly proud of but they represent some point in my life.
noteeth - HoG was at the sanctuary and then subway city i think. i'd have been scared of my missus the state she was back then
oh and the playlist i use excludes any classical stuff, there's plenty of that too
I was also into trance as much as techno and even DnB on occasion (though an eventful night out clubbing in Manchester put off that for a bit). Think I was happiest in a field really.
DnB from back in the day:
Ready or Not

Kemistry

this was the track that ruined my knees i think, no more pogoing for me
on the right system that snare would cut through steel
We're a long way from uplifting now... Best get back to work.
