Nice! The original Detroit version of the genre is still my favourite. And remember, don't techno for an answer.

I have been out of the scene longer than I can remember, but I am keen to get back on it, thanks for the video, it’s funny as I find it hard to describe techno too as like you said it’s bigger than that, it’s just magical 🙏

Whoaaaa - first time seeing this channel, and it's 343 Labs... with 34.3K subscribers?? Coincidence, or something broke with the Internet? :) I guess next stop is 343K subs...

One way to define Techno is that it's a dark grumpy non-melodic House with a low kick and a faster tempo.

@FuZZbaLLbee 11 ай бұрын

Sounds good. Personally i would put a nice long pad or strings chord progression in there for the classic Detroid sound, but that's just something i really like.

I think techno should not be considered as bum tss bum tss, acid, repeating loops etc... It should be about technology, more experimenting, nerdy stuff and I really don't like the idea of some sounds what defines Techno, "someone's kind of vibe". that's how people started and found this genre. For me techno can even be without drums. I can totally understand that some people would not agree with me. I really like a quote from mylar melodies podcast (which I really recommend to listen to): why we bleep with Surgeon and his quote: Electro is some kind of Techno but Techno is not kind of Electro.

For sure, this plagues almost every genre. Self proclaimed purists will always have a set of standards/practices that they have learned. But spirit of a genre is usually born out of experimentation and standing out. From jazz to hip hop. It all ends up being the same argument.

Great discussion

@ritec 11 ай бұрын

You are right on the money. Techno is a feeling more than a style or a set of rules. That is why when “techno” gets commercial it stops being techno, that “punk” DIY feeling is gone.

Great video! I think the worlds miss-use of the name "Techno" has held the genre back and always will unfortunately

So, techno is not something that really has a strict definition? Because I see some people acting snobby about music acting like this is and this isn't. But, it seems like there's some things that obviously aren't techno. I think most people have mislabeled a lot of stuff over the years. In particular, a lot of stuff on youtube, particularly uploaded around 05-08, most likely is not techno at all, but they are all titled Techno Trance. A lot of it is more close to hands up, some of it is labeled dream trance, and I think that is a good label for it to distinguish it. But, not techno.... Came here because realized they are still uploading these as Techno Trance. For reference, the most iconic producer in the scene would be Dj Splash.
