Schranz is a (not fully correct) synonym for hardtechno stuff produced by the likes of Amok, Wittekind, Marco Remus, Rush, etc. Originally coined by Liebing to describe the stuff he played back in the days, it has been, and still is, misused all over the world.

See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schranz. I disagree on Beyer, Gayle San, Skoog, Hades and Lekebusch being 'schranz' though.. Beyer has been getting more and more involved in minimal stuff lately, even.

No problem. The German version of Wikipedia has an even bigger piece of text on it. Problem is most people here probably don't understand German well enough to be able to read it

Ah well, here goes nothing:

quote:
Das Wort Schranz bezeichnet eine Stilrichtung des Techno. Schranz ist eine harte, minimalistische und schnelle (meist zwischen 140 und 160 BPM), vorwiegend mit Geräuschen und maschinenähnlichen Klängen angereicherte Tanzmusik und zeichnet sich durch einen streng perkussiven, repetitiven und teilweise beabsichtigt monotonen Charakter aus. Schranz ähnelt dem Tool- und Looptechno und kann als Untergenre des Hardtechnos bezeichnet werden.

Geschichte
Der Begriff wurde ursprünglich 1994 von dem Gießener Produzenten, Radiomoderator und DJ Chris Liebing zusammen mit einem Freund in einem Frankfurter Plattenladen in die Welt gesetzt und als Partymotto auf mehreren Flyern des Frankfurter Technoclubs Omen abgedruckt ("Birthday Schranz") und als Name für eine seiner Schallplatten verwendet ("The Real Schranz"). Als der Begriff an Popularität zunahm und immer mehr einer Stilrichtung zugeordnet wurde, entschuldigte sich Chris Liebing dafür, den Begriff in Umlauf gebracht zu haben, da er sich nicht mehr damit identifizieren konnte. Dafür griffen andere Hardtechno-DJs den Stil auf und sorgten für seine Verbreitung.

Heute wird der Begriff Schranz nicht mehr nur in seinem Ursprungsland Deutschland verwendet, sondern beschreibt mehr und mehr auf der ganzen Welt den Klang von hartem deutschen Techno. Von einem Modewort, dass monotonen und perkussion-geladenen Techno verschiedener Richtungen (Monotone-, Progressive Techno) beschreibt, ist Schranz somit ein eigenständiges Genre geworden.

Die häufig mit düsteren Klängen bestückte Musikrichtung ist meist auf Loops von Trommeln, Rasseln oder Fabrikgeräuschen gestützt, untermalt von harten, treibenden Bässen (die jedoch nicht im Vordergrund stehen) oder gar durchgehenden Basslines (z.B. die bekannten „Sägezahn“-Synthesizer). Da die Unterschiede in dieser Musik (Ton, Rhythmus oder Effekte) sehr subtil sind, wird Schranz häufig als monoton empfunden. Deshalb werden Schranzplatten hauptsächlich in Clubs zum Steigern der Stimmung und der Geschwindigkeit des individuellen Sets verwendet.

Die schnelle Verbreitung von Schranz in der Clubszene trug dazu bei, dass Schranz sehr viele Einflüsse von anderen Richtungen elektronischer Musik bekam. Oft werden Sets der Richtungen Electro oder House „auf Schranz“ gespielt. Das heißt, der oft monotone Schranz öffnet sich anderen Gattungen des Techno, was ihn insofern interessanter für ein größeres Publikum macht. DJs machen sich z.B. Melodien oder Passagen aus bekannten Songs und Tracks zu Nutze, um daraus Remixe zu erstellen, die einen Wiedererkennungswert besitzen.

They're even mentioning Monika Kruse as being a schranz (i.e., hardtechno) artist. It gets better and better

Being Dutch is a big advantage as well, as the two languages are fairly similar in some ways... Plus I do have to speak a lot of German during work hours, it helps
