    2 Unlimited: Get Ready For This

    In the late 1980s techno evolved from being an electronic dance genre exclusive to clubs, with exponents enjoying mainstream chart success. Those frantic 120-150 beats per minute may not have been to everyone’s taste, but techno gained a huge following amongst those who had grown to love its irresistible hooks. This rising popularity was exemplified by 2 Unlimited, an act with roots in Holland and Belgium, fronted by rapper Ray Slijngaard and vocalist Anita Doth. Their music was simple, containing repetitive melodies, but as with all techno, it was all about the basic rhythm. 2 Unlimited went on to sell over 18 million records globally, and this, their manic debut single, packed dancefloors in multiple countries.

    Orbital: Chime

    Named after the M25 motorway, a ring road around London that was a crucial artery for the early English rave scene, Orbital melded electronic music with the sensibilities of punk rock. Comprising a sibling duo of Paul and Phil Hartnoll, Orbital surfed that early acid house wave to become mainstays of music festivals in many countries. Their appearance at Glastonbury in 1994 signified the moment that dance music gained equal prominence to rock and was described by the influential Q Magazine as ‘one of the top 50 gigs of all time.’ During your date, immerse yourself in the potency of brothers Hartnoll with debut single ‘Chime,’ first recorded at home on a 4-track tape deck, which became an anthem.

    The Prodigy: Charly

    Sampling a clip from a BBC public information film (featuring a ‘talking’ cat spouting gibberish but warning about interacting with strangers), Charly became a staple of techno clubs in the early 90s, selling over 200,000 copies in the UK alone. Bridging the gap between the energy of punk rock and the free-spirited experimentation of dance music, Essex techno pioneers The Prodigy went on to enjoy huge chart success. Releasing seven albums and 21 singles, many of their 45s went on to top the charts. This will certainly kick-start your date night.

    U.S.U.R.A.: Open Your Mind

    With samples from the sci-fi movie Total Recall and ‘New Gold Dream’ by Scottish post-punk band Simple Minds, this is a superbly catchy slice of electronica from the Italian band.

    Faithless: Insomnia

    Formed in London by Maxi Jazz, Rollo and Sister Bliss, this electronic act has sold records by the millions across the planet. Insomnia, their second single, was a massive success, topping the charts in multiple countries. Readers of Mixmag proclaimed it the ‘fifth-greatest dance record of all time,’ and it was certified double platinum. Although its vocal delivery is all about not being able to sleep, the paradox is that it is furiously upbeat.

    Altern-8: E-Vapor8

    Wearing chemical warfare jumpsuits and face masks, Altern-8 are another act that exemplified the zany escapism of the acid house/techno scene in England. The relentless rhythm is perfect for concluding your techno-themed date night.
