|about track|"Sandstorm" is a 12" and a CD single by the Finnish DJ Darude. The single was released by record label Neo in 1999 and re-released in 2000. Sandstorm was the best selling 12" worldwide in 2000. The song appeared as a licensed song on DDRMAX Dance Dance Revolution. Sandstorm is of the trance music genre of electronic dance music. Soon after release, the song became popular on pop radio stations, reaching #1 in Norway and entering the US Top 40, though its popularity waned soon after release. The song itself has also spawned many remixes, some of which span genres outside of the electronica genre. It is frequently used for sampling. Brazilian Mixed Martial Artist Wanderlei Silva uses Sandstorm as his theme music. Sandstorm is popular at U.S. sporting events and is regularly played to excite the crowd.|

that's where i heard it, too! i'd love to be able to find some more trance like this... any suggestions? a friend of mine who had heard the song a while ago pointed out that there's a pretty good mix by DJ Irene available on Amazon (as well as other places) but... other than that, any suggestions?

Detroit Techno should be renamed Hi Tech Soul ... cos that's the doco's name :)


Check Synth Britannia for nice doco on the emergence of electronica in pop n post punk

On the hip hop tip there's Scratch (to get more of a dose on this tip see the Style Wars doco and Wild Style as a movie blurring the lines between the real scene and a fictional one)


On all tings dubwise there's very nicely produced Dub Echoes doco.

If you want to go further back and dig on the development of dub from ska onwards, The Studio One Story tells the tale of the development of one of the best (IMO) studios/labels in JA.




For the sheer awesome of a live show, Underworld's Everything Everything

Check out the Drum and bass arena cd's.
Especially look for the Drum and Bass Arena Anthology; it's a 3 cd collection of 'the best songs' from 1993-2010.
This should give you some insight on how dnb evolved and which artists/subgenres you like. Enjoy and welcome to the wonderful world of dnb!

Reaktor is a beast of a program. I remember playing with a demo of it back some 10 years ago or so and loving it. Never actually got around to buying it. Definitely purchasing right now!

FYI: I first learned about NI Reaktor from the album credits for Juno Reactor - Shango. It states on the last page:

> Juno Reactor use "Reaktor" modular synthesis and audio processing by Native Instruments.

And the sounds in those tracks are amazing.

Da Hool: Meet her at the Love Parade -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO4y3nkJXDA

I just skipped through about 35 tracks on the album Classic Trance Nation before I found it. I knew it was on that album so had to find it after listening to your audio! The best TOMT are the ones that immediately put it in the tip of your own tongue.

The Virgin Suicides: Original Motion Picture Score. The music is all done by one of my favorite bands, Air.

Also, The Marie Antoinette Soundtrack.

Both of these films are by Sofia Coppola who I guess has great taste is music.



Edit: How do you do a reddit link when there are parenthesis in the url!? It drives me crazy.

This topic reminded me of the excellent Erotic Lounge 1 compilation, which I own most of the songs from and have listened to many times. It's hard to pick a best one.

Album Title Goes Here would be epic and it's title is pretty Random.

What's a random song you like?

I think I first heard this song in Sofia Capolla's Marie-Antoinette. I love it when film soundtracks can add to the cinematic experience without dominating the scene. I also discovered Dustin O'Halloran's Opus 23 and Opus 17 because of this movie.

This is from a fantastic sampler album I have called The Spirit of Wandjina.

This is also on Remix and Additional Production which is an awesome compilation, one of my favourites.

Listened to any of the Gatecrasher albums?

Personally recommend the Gatecrasher Anthems album.

It’s out of stock on Amazon but I’m sure you’ll find it elsewhere.

Gattaca. http://amzn.to/otxw7Y
Beautiful underrated soundtrack to a phenomenal underrated movie.

I agree that Tiesto has really changed things up lately. I'm not sure what his plan was with Kaleidoscope, but if you listen to that vs. his earlier stuff, it's like a completely different artist.

While we're talking techno, any other old school detroit technoheads out there? If there's a better programming album than Robert Hood's: Internal Empire out there I'm yet to hear it. Amazon has some samples http://www.amazon.com/Internal-Empire-Robert-Hood/dp/B000007SYA

Last Fm's also got some detroit techno: http://www.last.fm/tag/detroit+techno

Shot in the dark answer, but Trance Party Volume 3

I searched, but couldn't find one CD with all the songs on it. The closest I could find was Trance Party Volume Two which has two of the songs on it. Perhaps they were using more than one CD?

still on amazon

but remember his toronto DVD was delayed for a month, so theres no guarantee sept 25 is the date.

but he is also playing iheartradio in las vegas sept 22 (some publicity before the release?), and XS las vegas sept 23 (album release party?). so we'll just have to wait and see. :D

One of my favorite compilations:

Gatecrasher Anthems: Paul Van Dyk

highly recommend their concert movie Everything Everything
