It's been awhile since I've thrown any techno in the mix, deep, progressive or otherwise. So I think it's time to get that groove rolling again.

Here's another drive-by number I caught on my morning commute to work.  It's an energetic old-school techno number titled "Der Buhold" by German DJ/Producer Paul Kalkbrenner. This one caught my attention because it really took me back to the heyday of old-school "rave" culture.  That's what the electronic music scene was called back in the late …
