The above is almost a year old, but I have a poo poo ton of stuff from that era (yes, I am a middle aged man). Here are a few of my favorites for those into historical stuff:

New Beat
Tragic Error - Klatsche in Die Hande

Techno(ish)
Ecstasy Club - Jesus Loves The Acid
Church of Extacy - Devil Beats
Praga Khan - Injected With a Poison
Dark A.T.8 - Sucker
Charlie Lownoise - I Miss Jimi

House
Chocolate Tribe - Conquistadores Chocolate
N.U.K.E. - NaNa

And just for fun, the most recent thing I can't stop listening to:
Dr. Lektroluv vs Break 3000 - Discotheque

Adbot
ADBOT LOVES YOU

Thanks for the suggestions! All new to me except for the Praga Khan, and pretty good too, if a bit soft by my standards.

For me, it's got to buzz LOUD and pound HARD, and if it's got HOOVER, all the better! :cool:

I posted more examples after those. Here they are again if you haven't seen them:

Quadrophonia - Quadrophonia
Plexus - The Cactus Is Saved!
Tune Request - Destroyer
Digital Boy - Rave Situation
T.Vee - U Are A Sucker
T99 - Nocturne
Rave Crusader - Energy Overload

Plus, another one I that happened upon just this week:

I made a playlist of some of the catchiest anthems from that era:

I also recently picked up 2 Unlimited's greatest hits album. Their style truly is a defining one of the time:

Tribal Dance
Workaholic
Let The Beat Control Your Body
The Real Thing
Maximum Overdrive
Faces

P.S. Here's a MAGNIFICENT breakdown of the key elements of classic hardcore rave music:

You would have loved the 90s as an adult, that last video is so spot-on.

Anyhow, here's a few more you might like.

The Shamen were around in the 90s, and I always sort of associated them with The Prodigy:
The Shamen - Impossible

I remember this song because of the long intro before it got good. Early example of "the drop" I guess.
Out of the Ordinary - Der Weisse High

Here are some other tunes from my early 90s CD collection, maybe new to you:

2nd Funk-Tion - Gonna Be Alright
The Grid - Swamp Thing
Zero Ph - Can't Wait Tonight
The Curse - All Systems Are Go
Angel Ice - Je N'Aime Que Toi
Setup System - Fairy Dust
Oochie Coochie Cartoon Club - Pin-Ochio
R.T.Z. - Dance Your rear end Off

This is fun, I hadn't listened to some of these in years.

Good stuff. Again, all new except for Dance Your rear end Off. Swamp Thing is on the trancey side, and Pin-Ochio...isn't hardcore at all. But the rest is right on.

Here's one of my guilty pleasures...

Yeah Pin-Ochio is just one of those tunes I hadn't heard in forever and had to add for nostalgia's sake. Here's a few more.

Cubic 22 - Night in Motion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1bfSG8v0j8
Edwards & Armani - Acid Drill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMsPsnaSqYc
Pink Stanly Ford - A New Style Baby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RKRT-w3j2o
Gener8 - Unity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6a8EBwzVLs

In one of your posts you mentioned 2 Unlimited and KLF. There were a few lesser-known groups that produced similar music such as Captain Hollywood Project, Culture Beat, Real McCoy, Snap, and Black Box to name a few. You might check them out if you haven't already.
