the new Joris Voorn album has some tracks like that, especially 'Dirty Talk'

Air Frog - Bon Voyage (Adam Beyer Mix)
Andrew McLauchlan - Love Story
Diego - Thought Pattern Pt.2
Flash - Fix
Galluzzi & Brtschitsch - Fernrohr (Alexander Kowalski Remix)

In my dreams this stuff is the dominant underground club techno style (and I am booked to dj it 6 nights a week)

Check some of the stuff on the F...U Fcom! Label: http://www.discogs.com/label/F...+U!+FCOM, especially the Djinxx stuff

Also:

Vince Watson
Fabrice Lig
Sterac in his housier moments

1 a obsolete : covered with flowers b : very flowery in style : ORNATE <florid prose> <florid declamations>; also : having a florid style <a florid writer> c : elaborately decorated <a florid interior>

3 archaic : HEALTHY

4 : fully developed : manifesting a complete and typical clinical syndrome <the florid stage of a disease>

1b, 2b

Infiniti - Think Quick

Florid as in ostentatiously pretty or florid as in overblown? Some of the answers here fit both definitions.

1b: Diego "Mouth Full of Fresh Cut Flowers"
http://www.discogs.com/release/17332

this is lookin good so far! you can see what a fogey i am from my examples. tim, i was thinking more along the lines of ostentatiously pretty, but both really - kowalski for instance (especially his dj sets) can fit both, i think

Yeah it was Kowalski primarily who had me a bit confused - I will come back with suggestions.

also from septic cuts, "smokebelch II", although that's just barely techno

many many psych and goa trance acts could conceivably fall under this banner but that's trance, not techno, innit

Tim!

this is exactly what i've been looking for keep the answers coming

Shed - Citylicker (Echoplex Soundlite Touch Remix)

any suggestions of your own, glossolalia?

i imagine there's some french stuff that could go in this thread?

anyway: good work, chaps!

Vince Watson - Mystical Rhythm

there's a lot here i haven't heard! out of all these i like the juan atkins the best ("think quick"), it's so great. a lot of these are too prog house/trance for me, although they are very ornamented, etc. there's a common thread of menace and dread to a lot of these, i'm not sure why that would be the case.

some Luciano certainly, as well as a few tunes off the first UR album. I thought of Maurice Fulton, Dan Curtin too but it's more apparent when they hit downtempo mode. Then you'd have tons of stuff actually, from FSOL to Global Comm & back...

Quince - Sub-01

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgjPcXjbDd8

neither of those fit the def here really (as interesting as they may be in related contexts). sorry.

how about the aril brikha on kompakt?

was SO wishing this thread was gonna be about the Gainesville scene...

well, it can be!

Robert Babicz - Sonntag

More golden sunshiney than florid, but either way ostentatiously pretty and in my opinion, wonderful.

oh dear, so many tracks..

I was just thinking how the Syndeham remix of Rainbow Delta but Len Faki is like the fully blossomed version of the flower that is the original. Where the original is much more solid - still in it's bud if you will - packing in all the tension thats in in a flower and just revealing the tips of petals (not in a bad way). The buildup after 4 minutes in the remix sounds just like a flower blossoming looks.

The botanical implications are endless.

argy - 1984 (sydenham & rune mix)

i think this fits more def. 2a/b & 3

omg how could i forget - DJ ROLANDO - "THE AZTEC MYSTIC" - perhaps the ultimate???

lol 90s

aqua regia - "new york city smile on me!"

I've been listening to a lot of Diego stuff today and it is so damn good. He should be way more popular but unfortunately he (shamelessly!) breaks the seeming 128bpm limit for popular techno music.

Actually that's probably not the only reason but it is my own private axe to grind

confidential to ☪: lol "progressive house"

Sueño Latino

J. Hunsberger's Lords/Devils EP.

I heard DJ Koze's Cicely not too long ago, and thought of this thread, it's certainly some of the prettiest music I've heard in a long time.

this whole fuckin' thread and nobody said ian o'brien

florid techno out, space battle techno in

argy - 1984 (sydenham & rune mix)
