My buddy Kevin Comeaux owns The V Bar on the strip, it's more of an older crowd, and no smoking allowed in the club. The place freaking rocks.

Riches plays techno on either friday and sat. Its a mix of both rap and techno. No Riches is not a GAY club anymore.. Roxy is all ghetto rap now..Bond plays both techno and rap, Scout Bar has a sept room they usually play tehcno in on Thursdays, dont know about fridays and saturdays, there are some other clubs out there that play both. Plus there are some ones that play nothing but techno but youll have to look it up online..

+11111111 except I listen to it FOR the flashbacks....damn DNA testing at work sucks, lol.


Try Club 1415. I'm not sure if Micheal DeGrace is still involved/invested/owns it, but they have some decent resident DJ's & stay open late. They also have a nice balcony with a view.

Also check out this site & maybe sign up for the email list. http://77002.com/

Since they enacted the 'Rave' law or what ever, all the good spots dried up. After they closed Some & Hyperia, the music scene took a huge nose dive, especially for booking good DJ's.
You can luck out with some of the snooty mid town clubs, but they have ***** doormen that think they are in LA or NY or someshit & charge way too much for drinks...but then I grew up with hole in the wall places like Some for my music enjoyment.

actual techno or "club techno", actual techno no, "club techno" yes but the usally mix hip hop or really small lounges. I know Jet lounge does but you want to see what nights. Mosaic in Rocbar does. sure if you look those places up on myspace you can find links to similar places.

Was going through some cds the other day and found an Adam Beyer and Green Velvet cd, really good techno. Also found a Bailey, Shy FX and Andy C cds, great drum and bass.

Techno is a pretty broad genre, personally I like mostly varieties of House music, like progressive, tribal, and really dark house.

Interesting link I found a while back, may not be active, but it's blocked from work so I can't check.

Yeah good luck finding a nice place that plays techno\house in Houston. Because there isn't many places like this when you do find one it's basically a bunch of regulars and really expensive drinks. Last time i had a real club experience in Houston (**** i can't remember the name of it) but it was downtown on that little strip of clubs and there was a big line but you could tell it was for real.

Girls dancing in the window all slutty, house music or rap music lyrics with house beats dark everywhere except for the occasional strobe or electronic controlled lighting. Wish i could remember the name man, sorry.

Go to Miami, and you'll find plenty of them.

There are a lot of places that still play house/techno, you just have to know where to go and when. If anybody is really interested send a PM to L$1W$6, he will point you in the right direction since he is really big into the house scene.

x1000 Been my favorite DJ for a good while now. I didnt suspect his name ever pop up on this forum.

The only thing I hate about electronic music is finding the artist and song. Im trying to do that now searching compilation albums online. I only ever heard it at 24hr fitness a few times.

So any other clubs?

I forgot about Rocbar. They have a sept lounge and patio that plays nothing but techno. Then they have the larger room that plays rock with swinging girls over the bar.

For those of you who were into it in the late 80's early 90's this guy has some mixes from the Kingfish which was way in the woods near Lafayette La. It was a huge badass club that people would drive from Mississippi and Texas to go to.

It took me a while to figure out how to download the music. You have to click the playlist and let media player open it. Then highlight the track you want to DL. Then right click on the bar at the top of media player and click file saveas.

Technically thats not techno, it's progressive, techno DJ would punch you in the face if they heard you say that. at the same time don't call what they play at Rocbar/Mosaic trance either that will **** of the DJ.

My guess is that if the people here actually heard real techno 99% would beat their head in with a hammer. Look up Adam Beyer, Marco Corrola, Headroom(3 guys playing at once) Dave Clarke and Richie Hawtin aka-Plastikman.

I stand corrected. You are right about it not exactly being techno. I guess the proper term is house music or something..I dunno. We all just called is Kingfish music back in the day.
