So what would you consider as the most ultimate techno music performers of all time? I know the acts don’t last that long but are there any that would qualify as good and entertaining...?
I go for
Cappella
- “Move On Baby”, “U Got 2 Let The Music”, “U & Me” etc... Italy really knew how to do it...One of the best dance acts ever! :D
2 Unlimited
- Oh my..Great melodies & very varied. Love it (still).
Culture Beat
- Too bad they (or actually Cappella & 2 Unlimited, too) changed their looks...Tanya really rocked! Glorious times those 1993-96... Ah!

Hmmm I wouldn’t call LaBouche or any act like them techno. Techno has become such a clique catch all term. Way over used label. It seems be be used with anyone singing over a drum machine. Techno to me is true club/rave music. You wouldn’t hear LaBouche a german act , at the Mayday rave in Berlin. If you hear vocals in a techno song ..... they better be sampled!!!
Some of the early great techno acts andn the best songs.
Joey Beltram Energy Flash
T99 (though only for the song Anathasia)
Cubik 22 - Night in Motion
Human Resouce - Dominator
These days techno is split into many subgenres....
Breaks, Trance, Gabber(yuck) and so many more...
The DJ is more known that any of the acts when it comes to Techno. Just pick up any compliation with the label Global Underground and you will hear the techno of today....

Ps... LaBouche and Cappella I would label as Euroclub.
I’m not going to dismiss that type of music or those artists at all... I liked that stuff too... I just wouldn’t call it techno.
