Early Influences - Techno, Trance, House

Scubadevils

Another youtube type thread! :eek:

I'm listening to a lot of older stuff lately from the 70's and 80's. Its interesting to hear the early influences in various styles such as EBM, Kraut Rock, Industrial, Synth Pop etc. Then of course the evolution of disco etc into house.

I will stick up a few examples here, be keen to here more also from others - please include a bit of info such as the year of release etc.

This first example is from 1982 by Liaisons Dangereuses and you can certainly hear early techno roots.

Another good example is Nitzer Ebb and the amazing 'Join In The Chant' from 1987 - here is a nice live version to create the atmosphere!
