Sometimes the right things just fall into the right place and so it happened with an old track by Thomas P. Heckmann under his Drax disguise, named Section 2. Originally released as Techno’s first ever 7inch, it was very popular in 1993 and paved the way for the huge follow ups like Drax Three -Phosphene and the hugely influential and successful Drax LTD.II - Amphetamine.

But read what Mark Broom has to say about this new version and enjoy :
„I was a fan of your Drax material & I had the original red picture disc, had that track on my hard drive & it fitted perfect to the track I was making at the time, sent it to Alan Fitzpatrick a few years ago & he would always ask me if it will ever get released, then out of the blue he sent me his edit & the rest as they say is history!!“

Jonny Donnelly from County Down is best known for his guest mixes on “The Source” (Cool FM) & “We Love Beats” (RTE Pulse) but there is more to this DJ than these guest mixes.
Jonny began as a bedroom DJ 10 years ago after taking a loan out to buy his first set of decks and since then through hours of dedication has progressed to become an exciting talent playing warm up slots in local clubs and headlining in other local venues with the ability to get any venue pumping.
Not content to simply play a set Jonny has run various club nights over the years including Metric and the opening of Valhalla. These club nights saw Jonny playing alongside Scandinavian Trance duo Super 8 & Tab, Ministry Of Sound and Gallery Resident Lee Osborne.
While previously Jonny has experimented with different musical styles including Hard House and Trance these days he is focusing on Groovey Tech House, Techno to Funky Tuff Electro & Progressive House.

Where do I begin building my playlist with such an incredible amount of music and sub genres of techno available. 
What an amazing time to be alive. 
First playlist had 255 tracks so got split 3 ways;       Firstly groove, ghetto, samba and tribal, second much harder, edgier and deeper hard groove, third much older techno/ trance production I became immersed in on the dance floor way back and lastly hardcore,breakbeat and jungle from around 1993.
There’s so much more to find and add.
Such a joy to hear so many amazing tracks again and add them to playlists ready to learn how to mix finally.
It’s going to be an endless journey and very rewarding. I’d do it for a living if asked to.

I’m not a DJ, producer or artist but a lover of many sub genres of techno and dancing to it and started the journey way back in 1993 with hardcore breakbeat then jungle. 
Now into hard, melodic, groovy, breakbeat, tribal, ghetto techno with minimal breaks: 
Hard groove / Hardgroove - the ultimate genre and it just keeps getting better and better. 

Now the owner 2 turntables and a 4 a channel stand alone mixer 33 years after my first rave way back in 1993 at Desire, Roller Express and still have the flyer.  With so much amazing music available and the inspiration from so many superb artists and DJ’s it will be an amazing experience.
See you on a dance floor just make sure to keep up 🔊


Techno
Hardgroove techno is a sub-genre of techno that dates back to the 90's. The genre emphasizes rhythm and groove, featuring syncopated, funky beats and prominent, bouncy basslines. It stands out with its dynamic, percussive elements and energetic, danceable aggressive vibe. Often incorporating melodic or atmospheric touches, hardgroove techno blends influences from funk, breakbeat, and tribal music, creating a distinctive sound that's both rhythmically complex and highly engaging on the dancefloor.
