Thought I'd share a couple songs.
I tend to like more rhythmical electronic than melodic. Most of the links above seem to do both supremely though.
This, however, is pure rhythm.

I like Trance but not much else.
Except for when I'm at a club or something every other type of purely electronic music that i've heard just sounds like aids to me. Can't really explain why other than I'm a musician and listen to mostly metal which generally makes it so you're less likely to like anything but Metal (and maybe jazz and some classical stuff).

Here are some suggestions for people that feel electronic music is too inherently happy, or emotionless:
I know ^ one isn't "techno", but it's electronic. Lay down your genre guns.
No garuntees, but ^ might actually appeal to some metalheads or general fans of aggressive music.
Husband and wife duo ^ - if nothing else, it conveys anger.
It would be easy to just call ^ electronic industrial, but a more accurate assement would be unrelenting awesome... Seeing them live on the 25th.
This ^ is probably the closest thing to "techno" i've posted, so far. Listen to it. It's deep.

Proper abusive breakcore.

For the skeptics, I will concede that, after making electronic music for 11 years, I DO consider most of what comes out garbage, but, that's rather true of everything isn't it?

This is one of my favorite techno songs, I just cant get sick of it. It is a little long though.

Yes, techno and various subgenres are my choice of music whether you are talking about techno specifically or are just using it as a catch all word for electronic dance/ambient/chillout music. Speedcore, gabba, hard techno and acid techno are my favourites but basically anything that might come under the hardcore techno label.
I used to make my own and DJ at a few squat parties and raves 5-15 years ago and Simon Underground said a few of my tunes were potential releases but then as happens to a lot of ravers too many hard drugs and crazy women knocked me out of the rave circles and crushed my creative spirit. I still have the equipment and all the tunes but the will to mix and create has gone.
As for suggested tunes, here's a few that I own that I found on Youtube too :

Sweet! a Thread for techno/electronica music lovers!
I guess I'm more into IDM type stuff. Not so much dance music but really music that just uses electronic instruments.
Here are just a couple of songs I really like that I think you might like too
Give this one multiple listens and really pay attention to it. This band doesn't usually do stuff like this, their discography spans a wide range of genres, but their two newest albums Merriweather Post Pavilion and Strawberry Jam contain mostly electronica stuff that I think you might like. If you like this though, check out Peacebone, another track by them, and My Girls, also by them. It's so GOOD.
Aphex twin is great, and so is this song. Also Check out Fenix Funk 5 and Ziggomatic. Also Power Pill and Mathematical Equation.
Radiohead's Album Kid A is also very good. Everything in it's Right Place, Motion Picture Soundtrack, and Kid A (title song) are very good songs. I know you probably don't think of Radiohead as electronica, but they've been progressively moving toward it.

So I was listening to this track and thinking, "christ that's lousy (ie, completely unintelligible) vocoding, sounds like it only has 8 bands"... Then I saw the Microkorg (w/ onboard 8 band vocoder) and realized, yes, they are using the MK's input to process vocals. Having owned, used and abused the original Microkorg, as featured in the video, I can attest it handle vocoding; very poorly. 1/8th' input + 8 bands = crap, despite the fairly respectably aging MS2000 engine driving the unit.Instinct Blues said:
I guess what I'm saying, aside from jargon-gripes, is that they're doing alright music, but it would, in my mind, be greatly improved if they used a higher resolution hardware or software vocoder that retained enough of the input format to make it sound more like a voice and less like a blob.
It gives me a headache. I'm sure techno with an actual tune exists, but I never hear it in my daily life, and all the stuff I do hear does this:
I like my songs to have some variety. I did like that Hot Butter one though. Mild, yet tuneful.Tdc2182 said:
Why would one discuss French House in a techno thread?Ekonk said:
But nuts to that. Discovery was great, but I can see why it was met with mixed opinions because it was completely different from Homework. Still haven't listened to Human After All because I'm hesitant because almost everyone I have heard talk about HAA said that it was crap on the few rare occasions it does come up into a Daft Punk discussion.
hah. It's like that with all the songs I've heard by them. Which is only two. But I kind of like it I guess.II2 said:
