Mr Fingers - Can You Feel It

Laurent Garnier - Acid Eiffel

Dave Clark - Thunder (This uses very extreme compression on the 909)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMxGHEpdyCs

All three tracks also use the Roland TB-303 Bass Line synth.

Acid Eiffel is the great techno track of all time IMO.

CYFI is a Juno 2, no 303 in there.

Of course, sorry I was getting a bit carried away there!

Awesome examples.

And to fill it all in, some classic 303 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f7cylz6tl4

With a couple 303s, and 808 and a 909 (and a sparse set of effects), you can produce a big part of late 90s, early 2000s EDM.

I didn't have access to much electronic music as a kid, but I did sneak onto BBSes a ton and discovered the Amiga/PC music scene. My favorite 303-using track was called "mach28v2.1a_remix". I can't find it on Youtube, but it's the track that's in this screenshot of the old CastleX Modplug Plugin: http://www.modplug.com/images/modview.gif
