To clarfy this–I’m looking for specific tracks, so please don’t just tell me the artist’s name.
Stuff I like: early Moby, and a lot of the songs off of the Matrix and both Blade movies. Yes, I’m sadly underexposed in techno/house (what exactly is the distinction between the two?).
What I want it for: to listen to, to run to, and to have one-person dance parties in my room to (though only when my roommates aren’t around).
Thanks.
Here’s a song I’ve been listening to for a while.
Norman Bass - How U Like Bass
(The Great White Shark) by Out of The Ordinary is my all-time favorite biking/running tune. It borrows heavily from the Jaws soundtrack, and the spoken intro is German, but the rest is pure techno, and kicks Arsch!
I spent two years finding it, but I finally did on a double CD called
Techno Trax Vol.6. There may be some other tunes you might like as well…
Good luck!

House tends to be more dancy-type, almost the “disco” of electronic music. Old-skool techno goes back to Kraftwerk, house is fairly recent. If you liked the stuff in Matrix and Blade, try Jungle/D&B. Most anything by Goldie. I’ll second the Fatboy Slim recommendations, adding “Weapon of Choice”. Chemical Brothers are also good, as is Daft Punk.
