My entire life has pretty much been dominated by electronic music. Since I was around 15 years old it's all I've listened to, be it hard house, drum and bass, techno etc. Basically music sans lyrics.

I'm fairly unique amongst my friends. They all grew up loving Oasis, Blur, The Doors etc, and all the usual sort of music.

I lived in Germany almost 10 years ago, and it was that point I discovered I wasn't abnormal. Now, in the UK if you go to a hard techno club here, if you can find one - you won't find many women. In Germany 'normal' music there is techno, and often pretty hard techno, and everyone goes there - including the most amazing looking women. I cannot begin to tell you at home I felt in that country, no longer an outsider lol.

The buzz you can get off a decent hard techno set is unprecedented, for me anyway.

So, this is a thread dedicated to techno.

This is what techno is:

aaaaaah techno

trying to fit a tune under the genre techno these days is like choosing one car and one car only to stereotype as a sports car. it was easier pre 1995
 
It's broad I'll give you that. Even my examples are broad, but I think they all fit the category.

Lets share the techno love amongst ourselves. We are an obscure breed in this country!
 
10 yrs on and this is still one of the best tunes i've ever heard both are techno to me
1 year on and this still blows me away
 
I prefer hard trance, hard house (not so much these days, mind) or psytrance, I find there's not enough going on in techno and it's also a bit too slow.

Without trying to be offensive, I could listen to techno as background music whilst working, or something...perhaps that's a way to appreciate it more.

To that, I'd say listen to that Julyukie link.
 
Yeah it's decent, it's ever so slightly too fast for me but it's not far off hitting the spot :) most DJs tend to speed up on live sets/nights anyway.

That, that is what I'm talking about

Most of the rest of the set isn't my thing. Well, just not as good. That's probably tingling those hard house drops you love.

That's basically hard house isn't it? Not what I'd think of when I hear the word techno. I guess it's all music at the end of the day.

I can't start hardstyle, what a load of tripe!
 
It's difficult to say. Hard house became all crap with it's mad arse weird noises.

Techno has always been about the beat. The non stop repetitive beat, over and over. Hard, non repenting.

That's hard techno. It may share similarities to hard house of yesterday, but it never deviated from its roots. Hard techno and hard house shared similarities, but hard house went stupid, hard techno stayed knowing what was good. That's why it's stilla around.
 
That's a fair point and I see what you mean as I never really followed it that closely. Perhaps hard techno is my thing then :)
