Had insomnia last night and decided to go through some forgotten tunes of my collection. Bumped into this beauty:

Love this raw, rough, and noisy-yet-simple mood. And realised I donβt know early-90s techno as much as I wish.
What are your favourite techno producers, labels and tracks from the early 90s?
Peacefrog ooh la la
I hope this thread takes off 
Too many UR, Retroactive,Planet E, Tresor, Plus 8, Luke Slater, Dave Angel, Holy Ghost, Black Dog etc
The sound of the early 90s Techno is probably a Colin Dale set or The Advent live.
X-103 - The Gardens (from 12 not LP)which manages to combine hardness, strings and something sublimely groovy.
Also Jungle Techno was mega, Fast Floor - 7th Heaven/Mindsweeper, so funky and spacey,took the Detroit blueprint and added something to it.
Properly epic.

Properly 90s with whale song and everything.

Always thought the Dutch made some great timeless Techno, labels like DJAX, Eevolute etc. 3 favouritesβ¦
Good thread. Feel like it was a super-fertile time in music
Still makes my ears bleed! (in a good way!)
Was Network a label? Always liked this Dave Clarke mix that was free with 4 other Cds on some mag years ago

Yes from Birmingham
A strange one as released some decent underground stuff but also some really cheesy stuff so I didnβt really understand itβs direction
Secret life⦠was a game changing record for Me at the time it came out.
Still pull it out from time to time
Iβm not a Techno guy but in my discogs rabbit hole browsing I found that Fumiya Tanakaβs Torema label released some crazy stuff in the 90βs.
gemini
planet e
Always good for a head scratch.
I loved that Planetary Assault Systems 12", preferred the other side thoβ¦
