That's him. I don't know if his music is technically techno, but struck me as such when I first heard it. Having a huge brain-fart over the song title now. But armed with his name it shouldn't be too hard finding the song title. Thanks!

ATB and Juno Reactor are good if you like it more mello. I like the techo that, to quote Fat Boy Slim "If this don't make your booty move, your booty must be dead" music. Crystal Method is good for that. It is amazing how often I get a new album or hear a new song and realize the beat has been used for some commercial. Check out Dirty Vegas, Days Go By.

As far as Daft Punk, here are the lyrics for the song I was talking about. This pretty much sums up my day.

Technologic

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
Trash it, change it, melt - upgrade it,
Charge it, pawn it, zoom it, press it,
Snap it, work it, quick - erase it,
Write it, cut it, paste it, save it,
Load it, check it, quick - rewrite it,
Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it,
Drag and drop it, zip - unzip it,
Lock it, fill it, curl it, find it,
View it, coat it, jam - unlock it,
Surf it, scroll it, pose it, click it,
Cross it, crack it, twitch - update it,
Name it, rate it, tune it, print it,
Scan it, send it, fax - rename it,
Touch it, bring it, obey it, watch it,
Turn it, leave it, stop - format it.

Speaking of techno ending up in a commercial, it's even worse in movies. Seems like every movie is playing Crystal Method (Jason Borne series) or Prodigy (Like every pop action movie ever). And I maintain that Linkin Parks lyrics are terrible, though I will say they are decent musicians. If it were for the mediocre and way to generic lyrics I'd be a fan.

Hmm... Those last two lines are used in the Busta Rhymes song Touch It. Lol.

Here are a couple links for streamed techno/electronica music over the Internet. These are my personal favorites, as I am very heavy into all formats and variations of electronica.

di.fm
Click on the Listen Now! tab at the top to select from a wide range of techno and electronica music. This site pretty much has it all when it comes to all things techno. It's free and no registration is needed to listen at 96kps, but in order to listen at 192kps you will have to register.

etn.fm
Not as thorough as the di.fm website in the music department, as it is strictly trance/progressive. However, it still offers a good range of music, as it is free and you have the ability to listen to the tunes up to 192kps. Just navigate to the top bar and to the right you will see links to listen to Trance, Progressive or Variety.

Thanks Garet... . I'm checking out the second one.

But I did get some new songs that I really liked:
Heaven is an Orgasm - Lords of Acid
What a Feeling - Peter Luts
Who's Your Daddy - Benny Bennasi
James Bond Theme - Moby

If you don't have em, check em out; I'm sure you'll like them.

Haha, yup! I was about to download some Paul van Dyk, but saw the file was 80MB! Is it like a mix of bunch of their songs?
