<3 that track

jacob's optical stairway

pretty much any marc/dego production post "journey from the light."

I love that Jacobs Optical Stairway album.

sort of want to post martyn and 2562 singles

yeah jacob's optical stairway is exactly what i mean

didn't 4 hero put out a whole ep of straight detroit style techno tracks at one point?

this one samples my favourite detroit track, bango "mystical adventure"!

Come to think of it, I have a 12" on Creative Source? that is called Detroit but I can't remember what it sounds like right now. Will try to find it on discogs/youtube.

Wax Doctor + Alex Reese as Jazz Juice on Precious Materials

Jazz Juice is such a terrible name.

it is and the labels on Precious Materials were pretty cheap too.

lol at jazz juice

what an amazing tune though

Good idea for a thread, rio.

Some Kirk Degiorgio's "As One" project kind of walks that line, maybe a bit more jazzy though.

"i had a dream last night i found a detroit techno album i'd never heard before! it was called ... ok i forget already what it was called but the cover was a photo of the moonscape with a green filte

4hero was formed by Dollis Hill (London, UK) residents, Marc Mac (aka Mark Clair) and Dego (aka Dennis McFarlane), in 1989

or is that too obvious? (model 500 samples and stuff.)

I think junglish breaks + detroitish synths may be my favourite combination ever. So I hope this fits where you're going with this thread:

Guh, no embedding. Does this work? Sound quality is a bit muddier and it's cut slightly short in the mix.

You may notice that the mixtape art from this youtube is the same as on the Urban Shakedown upthread - is a pretty good mix if you like this sound: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Jungle-Massive-Collective-2/release/89024

More like that last one, pls.

I've lost track of which one was which at this point (either SOS or Photek I think) but there was one where the bass seemed to zip about like a lost pong ball between notes. Not so much that it wobbles, but enough that there was a real sense of movement in the portamento. It really feels a bit like being rattled around a videogame or a pinball machine - but in a really good way.

As per the post above, sci-fi strings + breakbeats = my favourite music ever

Perhaps not 100% Detroit-y but I've got a track here, which is one of my favourites from my old mix tapes, but I've never been able to find out what it is.

Anyone have any ideas? I used to think it was an early Certificate 18 track as I think the mix was by someone involved in the label, but I'm pretty sure I've heard them all now:

CJ Bolland was mostly a techno rather than a drum and bass producer, but Electronic Highway from 1995 was a pretty interesting attempt to marry techno and trance synths with d&b breaks.

Anyone who's interested in the kind of stuff that has perhaps more techno than d&b flavour should check out this compilation, it has loads of gorgeous synths combined with breaks. One of my favourite electronic comps of all time!

Bumping to see if anyone is up who may have any ideas about the ID above. If not, if anyone knows a good forum for old track IDs I'd also be happy.

Re track ID - sorry don't know but the track mixed in at the end is DJ Tamsin and Monk - A Better Place ( DJ Trace remix) which I think dates it to the tail end of 1993.

This is a good forum for IDs - their knowledge goes to very obscure levels:

Thanks Iain, you were actually closer than you thought, the track is actually the Bay B Kane remix of the same track:

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction, that's one of life's little mysteries solved.

not exactly detroit techno, but love the plangent synths at the beginning of this

love this track so much. crazy and amazing that flava d is making drum & bass.

Very nice melding of the prettier, more melodic side of DnB with some cool tech flourishes

yeah. it's maybe not classic detroit - sounds a little more digital than that - but has that glisteny string sheen. plus i wasn't quite sure where 'the' DnB thread was!
