Common Techno Songs

I have a couple techno songs in my head that I hear when I'm out at clubs all the time but I don't know the names of them.

I know :
Sandstorm
Zombie Nation
Better Off Alone

Other than those though, I'm clueless. If you could name some other popular techno songs to help me find these songs I would appreciate it.

I particularly like that "Blood Bath" song from the Blade Soundtrack, I think it's the Chrystal Method. Actually I think every good song from a movie soundtrack is from the Crystal Method, like their remix of magic carpet ride on the "GO" soundtrack.

Also of note is "I turn to you" by Mel C, formelry of the spice girls, but I don't think that song is still popular.

Calling these songs "techno" is kind of an insult to the genre. "Bubblegum trance from 5 years ago" is a little more accurate. That said, if you want more songs like this, the following list should work for you.

Storm - Time to Burn
Lautsprecher - Omnibus
PPK - Resurrection
ATB - Don't Stop and Let U Go
Anything by Cosmic Gate, Ferry Corsten, DJ Tiesto, Mauro Picotto, Gouryella, or Paul van Dyk.

Yeah, so I have these MP3s on my computer. So what?

Finally, pay no attention to the 1st responder. Mel C is more like "Europop crap from 5 years ago." [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Good post. But you missed DJ Sammy - We're in heaven.

I actually like PPK - Resurrection [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Hey, I like the songs I listed too. I just don't think of them as serious techno.

DJ Sammy is more in that "Europop crap" category, I think.

I appreciate the help, but I must say I haven't heard of any of those songs. They were all new to me when I uhhhh "streamed" them.

The stuff I hear in the club is more of the "pop techno" type stuff as I named earlier. I have this one specific one in my head and have no clue how to find it because the song is only beat and has no words.

If you have any other suggestions, I'm all ears. I think I might try to listen to a winamp dance station while I play this evening to see if I run across it.

You should really find a better club to go to.

You should post an mp3 of you humming it. I'll bet someone will know.

Furthermore, Sandstorm is a good track. I don't care what anyone says.

This might be what you're looking for, it's pretty common.
