Fooled around in Reason yesterday and came up with a couple sounds, then built a track around them today with a bunch of 909 and 808 percs. Most of the variation comes from the percussion.
I think it sounds pretty danceable. Not sure what genre it would fit under.
Edit: DUDE! This is wonky-as-fuck! I think it needs a bit more in the high end early, but it is nice the way that it's basically nothing and then kicks back in, really gives the tune a sense of flow. With tunes that are kind of "MNML" techno like this, I think some of the best way you can really give them a chuggy vibe is to vary the percs, and you have done an absolutely epic job of it in here.
That kind of acid sounding second bassline that comes in at 2:00 is awesome and will sound great on a big set of speakers.

Wow, thanks for the timely response and comments.
I'll get a 320 up for you soon.
That just all kind of spewed out while I was listening to it, but I really liked it, and have actually just booked a couple nights where I'll be able to play it out at a few different times of night.
Really, really like it though. Reminds me of tons of stuff from Justin Long's set at DEMF - kind of like a weird bastardization of drummy techno and acid basslines. Simple but effective.

Percs are great, although a lot of them sound like sound bank stuff. Rest of the track is cool, but missing something imo. The bassline is kind of generic.
Its all good, just nothing really stands out to me or grabs me.
Def keep workin it though, you're going somewhere with this.

i love 808 and 909 percs, they're the ultimate in creating a specific techno sound, and you've done a great job here
less keen on the synths, but thats purely cos of the reason element.
switch this over to ableton and use some vsts and I think you're in business
great work

cute stuff, really started to appreciate @ 2m10 though
a little simple for my taste, but at least its clean and clear.
