No, seriously - what the hell does "gino beats" mean?

Hmmmmmm.........

Well for gino beats, I would consider that to be anything that has to do with Euro or Freestyle, which I feel in no way is similar to Trance or Techno, nor will it ever be up to the level of quality that Trance and Techno are. The difference between Trance and Techno I would say is that Trance songs usually have an intro, buildup, climax and outro in the song, Techno doesn't or does it? Haven't listened to much Techno in a long time. Techno usually contains more sounds and highs unlike Trance. Correct me if I'm wrong in whatever I say.

ok, cutting up with the sarcasm then:

trance -> loads of melodies and synths. usually with big breakdowns. there are loads of trance subgenres, and stuff like psy/goa or progressive would be very different from the usual epic buildups of uplifting trance (the most common genre). two random examples of typical uplifting trance: Gouryella - Gouryella, Mirco de Govia - Epic Monolith

techno -> very percussive and repetitive stuff, not so concentrated on the melodies, in fact many techno tracks don't have melodies. it is VERY rare (or just impossible) for a techno track to be well known and mainstream, so if you're asking this question is cause you probably have never heard a techno track in your life. examples: Jeff Mills - The Bells , Renato Cohen - Pontape

gino beats -> dunno really wtf this means, i'm guessing it is another name to piss off those who like cheese. so, gino beats would be mainstream formulatic trance usually with 'poppy' vocals made to sell and that any decent dj wouldn't put in a set. the kind of tracks popular with teenagers and newbies. examples: 666 - Alarma , or Dj Sammy - Heaven

hope this leads you in the good way, n00b

that's what i'd say gino beats were, music that ginos and wannabe ravers dance to and call it "techno" while in reality it's commercialy cheesy trashy eurodance shit.

Come to think of it, I've not really heard any techno. I think i'll check out these tracks.

trance is more melodic (includes synths) while techno focuses on percussion and is very repetitive...and i never heard of the term 'gino beats' sorry

Trance/Techno/Electronic/Dance - you'll find 'em called all sorts of stuff depending on who's doing the classifications.
