Let's go back even further:

 

[Karmacoma]

And a classic. Don't know if they did any harder techno back then? Certainly not as hard as modern hard techno.

I'm not sure about Germany, but in France as far as I can remember there has been super violent hard tech guys
Example: Micropoint - Sérotonine (1998)
And even before that, first time I heard some french hard tech was as far as 1994.

I do not endorse that type of music though, never been my cup of tea.

No, not mine either. Still, I found the Ophidian track that @stalepie2 posted quite, interesting. Maybe I'm just fascinated that people listen to this.

I guess everybody has his or her limit. Mine is probably somewhere around here...

Yes, I'm sure there are tracks from Germany that would do well in this regard also. I don't know any though.

And now over to something completely different...

Klaus Schulze - Osiris Pt#1

There's plenty, you probably just never looked into it because it isn't your thing. Hard oldschool Techno, Hardtechno, various "Tekk" styles, Hardcore, it all basically comes from Germany and direct neighbours, Belgium, France, Netherlands. It's kinda funny hearing doubts about Germany having all that really.

Poster child: Marc Arcadipane, one of the founders of Hardcore in general. This dude was *everywhere* in the 90s and filled whole compilations with his tracks under different pseudonyms. Just look at that pseudo list there. Hilarious!

It's just that in the 90's there was no internet, we were all more aware of local stuff.

Hehe, yeah, Germany and thereabouts is probably where you'd look for it!

Yes of course. But it wasn't all that bad. BFBS Radio for example was a goldmine for electronic music in general, and a good way to "stay updated". They brought all the good stuff from the island to Germany, and the UK was and still is HUGE on electronic dance music.

And now over to something completely different...

Klaus Schulze - Osiris Pt#1

I didn't know roon had a click for more in the album list before looking him up, makes the Fall look lazy.

 

[Ropeburn]

Enough history talk, back to the music! Killer classic:

Rave Creator = Marc Arcadipane

Not entirely Hardcore, but directly adjacent. The lines were still blurry in those days anyway. The energy is incredible. If you're into that kinda thing, it's a powerful trip - especially in a club with good sound.

Dude's signature style of heavy reverb on bassdrums is also the direct ancestor to today's "Techno rumble".

 

[Somafunk]

A new “Craven Faults” release

 

[Ropeburn]

The widely considered first Hardcore track:

You know the drill by now: Mescalinum United = Marc Arcadipane

 

[Karmacoma]

Ok I'm gonna add an oldie too since we're at it, pure mid 90's rave material, when raves were trendy.
Legendary producers Zdar & Boombass aka
La Funk Mob meet legend Richie Hawtin - 1994
Still kicks ass.

La Funk Mob - Motor Bass Get Phunked up (Richie Hawtin remix)

Staying in a similar vein here is an old school techno track by Man With No Name. Evolution features a series of delightful transitions throughout the arc of the track.

Excellent, thanks for that one!

I love that kind of layered modulated synth arpeggios and lines. Great sound too, could be made today and not 1996.
