Old fashionate, old school techno sound, hypnotic and deep. The built up with the heavy base beat (classical) and then the synthesizer layers that are woven into it.
This was the music clubbers (techno & House fans) danced all night on in the ninetees (22.00 or 23.00 hours until 5 'o clock in the monring, or sometimes 6, 7 or 8 in the morning. I experienced that in Amsterdam and Arnhem). Good d.j.'s knew how to link one good track to another and create a good sound and atmosphere! Dancing was a nice way to communicate with nice girls and women. Today I don't have the energy of those days.

Warp, commonly referred to as Warp Records, is a pioneering independent English record label, founded in Sheffield in 1989, notable for discovering some of the more enduring artists in electronic music. Founded by Steve Beckett and the late Rob Mitchell from their experiences working at the FON record store, alongside record producer Robert Gordon, the label (whose name was chosen because the original name, 'Warped Records' was difficult to distinguish over the telephone) soon became home to artists who would be influential in electronic music.Steve Beckett (above) founder of the Warp record labelRecord producer and Warp co-founder Robert GordonHistoryThe first release (WAP1) was by Forgemasters (produced by Robert Gordon), whose limited 500 copy pressing of "Track With No Name" was financed by an Enterprise Allowance grant and distributed in a borrowed car. It set a trend for the early releases both in terms of sound, and the use of purple sleeves (designed by The Designers Republic). The follow-up was Nightmares on Wax's "Dextrous", which sold around 30,000 copies. This led to greater commercial success; by its fifth release the label had its first Top 20 chart entry with LFO and their eponymous single, "LFO", which sold 130,000 copies and peaked at #12 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1990; by coincidence, that same month another Warp act, Tricky Disco, reached #14 in the UK chart with another eponymous single, "Tricky Disco". Warp's third record, "Testone" (1990) by Sweet Exorcist (Richard H. Kirk and Richard Barratt), defined Sheffield's bleep techno sound, by making playful use of sampled sounds from Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Computer Game" (1978) and the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). The first album released was Sweet Exorcist's C.C.E.P. in 1991. In the same year Robert Gordon left Warp acrimoniously. Warp went on to release a series of singles and albums from 1992 under the Artificial Intelligence heading, a series of experimental electronic music releases by artists such as Aphex Twin (as Diceman and later Polygon Window), Autechre, B12, the Black Dog, Richie Hawtin and Alex Paterson (of The Orb). Initially all the album releases were gatefold sleeves and coloured vinyl, often with covers by The Designers Republic or Phil Wolstenholme. A VHS compilation of digitally animated music videos called Motion was released in conjunction with the second Artificial Intelligence compilation, and featured an early work by director David Slade. Since then the label has evolved, and later artists were a similarly eclectic group, and included the DJ Andrew Weatherall (as Sabres of Paradise and later as Two Lone Swordsmen), Red Snapper and Antipop Consortium. In 1999, the label released Warp 10: Influences, Classics, Remixes, a compilation spanning six discs, featuring early acid house and techno music that influenced the label and its artists, as well as tracks from Warp's back catalog, and new remixes of Warp material. The collection celebrated the label's tenth anniversary. In 2000, the label moved its operation to London along with its physical music and merchandise store Warpmart. Co-founder Rob Mitchell was diagnosed with cancer in early 2001. He died later that year. In January 2004, Warp launched an online digital music store, Bleep, notable for being among the few stores to completely avoid all digital rights management features in the downloadable tracks, unlike other music stores such as iTunes and Rhapsody. On 27 September 2004, Warp released its second music video compilation, named WarpVision, featuring most of the videos produced from 1989 to 2004. 2005 saw the release of Warp, the first book in the Labels Unlimited series. Written by Rob Young, the book gave an illustrated history of the label, as well as offering a complete discography. The Warp website said the book was “A very beautiful thing and like our very own This Is Your Life". The label more recently began to expand outside of electronica by signing indie rock bands such as !!!, Battles, Born Ruffians, Maxïmo Park, Gravenhurst and Grizzly Bear. For the label's 20th anniversary in 2009, several Warp20 concerts took place in Paris, New York City, Sheffield, Tokyo, Berlin and London.

It is interesting of the Brits and their manner of innovation within the music world. I was to attempt to determine what was the motivational factor in this phonomium, for as it is not such. For as to determine the foundation of this music, would not the factor be: Many are from the factory dominated areas of England as of Bristol and Birmingham?
The groupen Portishead is very good, they do not cross over the line of reasonable, but in this stead, appear to cross only against the grain to be heard.
Perhaps my age group is over the line of understanding of the music at present...I am not so sure..
I think perhaps one secret of understanding and enjoyment to be had, is to turn down all lighting, sit back, forget all worldly concerns, and simply listen and let their music seep into the pits of our body and mind.
The world of music, is it not for the many to enjoy? For even of the old masters, theirs were not so well understood in their time, but that time was theirs to live.

Tresor (German for safe or vault) is an underground techno nightclub and record label. The club was founded in March 1991 in the vaults of the former old Wertheim department store in Mitte, the central part of the former East Berlin, next to the famous Potsdamer Platz, however the history of the club goes back to 1988 when the electronic music label Interfisch opened the Ufo Club in Berlin. Ufo was the original centre of Berlin house and techno, but due to financial problems that club closed in 1990. After Ufo closed, Interfisch's head, Dimitri Hegemann and some investors in the club found the new space in East Berlin. This was advantageous timing, as it was only a few months before Germany unified. The vaults under the Wertheim department store proved to be the perfect location for a club, and Tresor quickly became the place to be in Berlin. Tresor continued to be a popular club to this day, having expanded and reconstructed continuously several times to include an outdoor garden area, and a second "Globus" floor. The concept for the Tresor floor in the basement was specifically hard techno, industrial and acid music while Globus was featuring mainly more mellow house sound. The recordlabel Tresor Records was founded soon after the club first opened, in October 1991. Featured artists on the label include Jeff Mills, Juan Atkins, Robert Hood, Stewart Walker, Joey Beltram, Pacou, Blake Baxter, Cristian Vogel, House of Fix and many others. In 2004 the documentary "Tresor Berlin: The Vault & the Electronic Frontier" was released. Directed by Mike Andrawis, it features interviews with Hegemann, Carola Stoiber, and DJs & artists associated with the club & label. The film covers the period from Hegemann's involvement with the Fishladen and UFO clubs in Berlin-Kreuzberg to the final months prior to Tresor's closure. Tresor closed on the 16th April, 2005, after several years prolonged short-term rent. The city sold the land to an investor group to build offices on the Leipziger Straße location. It was open for each night of April 2005, with the final event starting the Saturday night with queues stretching all the way down the road, and still going Monday morning. Tresor reopened on 24th May 2007 in a renovated power plant on Köpenicker Straße in Mitte.

Ufo (Club, Berlin)
The Ufo (lit. UFO) was the first Acid House club in Berlin. It was the pioneer place for the Techno scene during the reunification. Club's residents and guests DJs included, among others, to Tanith, Jonzon, Rok, Dr. Motte, Mike van Dijk and the then 13-year-old Kid Paul.
History
The techno activists Achim Kohlenberger, Dimitri Hegemann and the former history student de:Carola Stoiber, founded the Ufo club in 1988 in West Berlin, in its first year it was located at the No. 6 Köpenicker Straße, in Kreuzberg, near to Schlesischen Tor in the basement of an old residential building, that their electronic music label Interfisch had rented as headquarters. Originally they open the club with the name Fischbüro. The basement room had a ladder for access and a improvised kitchen on the side of the building, it had a ceiling height of only about 6 ft 2.8in (1.90 meters) of space for up 100 people. In 1989, it hosted the after party celebration of the first Love Parade.
Ufo 2
As the authorities discovered its illegal operation (rave acid house parties), the club was moved and finally worked inside a former store building at the Großgörschenstraße in Schöneberg, just before the fall of the Wall in 1990. In the meantime, Ufo parties were set up in different places and the locations were usually given in hidden clues in the Saturday show The Big Beat hosted by Monika Dietl, from the SFB- teen radio station Radio 4U. In January 1990 the DJ Tanith established, his Wednesday regular show Cyberspace. After the club closed in 1990, the owners opened in the following year the Tresor club which still today is considered one of the world's most famous Techno-Clubs.

We Dutch and Germans were fascinated in our childhood, teenage time and adolescence by the quility, musicality, melody, rythem, sound and variety of British (English) and American music. The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrix, David Bowie, Genesis, Roxy Music, Iggy Pop and the Talking Heads reached our continent in the sixtees and seventees and influenced our generations musical taste, preferences, roots forever. That were our/my roots in Modern music, pop music. Okay add to that The Velvet Underground, The Doors, Janis Joplin, MC5, Kraftwerk, Nina Hagen, Nena, Michael Jackson and James Brown.
The electronic music was like the jazz, blues, rythem 'n blues and rock 'n roll before that a new merger of continental European influences with the black Afro-American music. Kraftwerk merged with the Detroit Motown soul, disco and funk. House, techno, electro, and other forms of electronic music developped and came to being. Others described it in other postings on this thread the development of this phenomenon, electronic, synthesizer, computer and sample music. I am curious how the future of electronic music will be. There will be new mergers of music styles, new cross overs, fusions and ecclectic developments. That is the exiting thing of the art of music, it always develops itself and changes in time.
Cheers, Pieter
