Originally posted by RebeL9 i suppose yes. since trance is an offspring of techno its natural that without all the synths and effects it would become techno. but you can't just take a random trance tune and remove the melodies and make it into a techno tune. techno is made in a completely different way than trance. other things to keep in mind.

Totally agree there. Trance uses fairly fixed melody structures and a very predictable flow and structure a lot of the time. Techno is very loop based and more akin to progressive in terms of structure and flow. Lots of subtle changes over a long period of time compared to trance.

Theres also a different though process behind techno too in terms of use on the decks. Generally the tracks are made to be played on top of one another or at the very least mixed into each other a lot more than trance which typically is designed to be played back to back with minimal layering by the DJ. The sounds used are very different also. I would say in general trance is a cleaner, more polished sound compared to techno which favours a rougher more abstract take on sound production.

I just listened to that whole set and it screams house. I mean, sure it's actually techno, but there are elements in that set that are extremely familiar to house.

"Big Fun" and "Good Live" (first sample "house") of Inner City (Kevin Saunderson) are considered to be among the first World Wide Techno hits.

Give It Up - The Good Men (first sample "sample") was released serveral times in the 90's and with huge succes.


But I found a site which explains it all (very clearly):

Throught all the phases and trends and ups and downs that TECHNO has endured, one man maintained his position as an instigator and innovator and is now consider the godfather of the TECHNO movement - Talla 2XLC. born and Raised in Frankfurt, Germany, he founded the first club exclusively devoted to TECHNO, conceived Frontpage Magazine, and launched, with Zoth Ommog SUCK ME PLASMA, the first TECHNO-HOUSE label. He has lived by the TECHNO motto" "Forcing The Future", like no other DJ before or since. Never ego-driven or spotlight-hungry he became a quet but enormously influential mastermind behind every aspect of TECHNO's eveolution. Although the seeds of TECHNO were planted in Frankfurt's Rhein-Main district, it soon spread internationally through 80's and 90's. Now, Tall 2XLC is still in top form and widely regarded as the creative genius behind TECHNO-HOUSE current popularity. Attributes: Hard synth-keyboard riffs, pounding Belgian style bass, often combining male rap and female vocals and always delivering the most intense, frenetic eneregy possible. 130 to 150 BPM. Examples: L.A. Style, Moby, Fierce Ruling Diva, Tyrell Corp., Robotico Rejecto, Klangwerk, Quadrophonia, many of the releases on Radikal on Bounce labels, Suck Me Plasma releases and everything from Rotterdam.

Those tracks are tech-house, if not house. Of course, because Kevin was trying to emulate Chicago producers with those tracks.

Too bad it explains it wrong. The club was called "technoclub", however, they played a lot of trance too. And talla2xlc wasn't the godfather of the techno movement in germany/europe, Sven Vath was, when he founded his label and Das Omen.

Interestingly, Suck Me Plasma released what many consider to be the first bona-fide trance track: We Came In Peace by Dance 2 Trance.

This similarity I'm talking about is the fun, feel-good melodies which is usually centered on heavy bass and banging drums. The same elements which make house such a nice music to listen to. And when I said that your techno sample sounded like house I did NOT mean this: house house2 house3 I meant something along these lines: sample sample2 sample3 sample4 sample5 I know it's a pitiful explanation, but the second set of samples show what I mean by feel good melodies and my comparison to techno. Of course, there's still a lot to be learned on my part.

sorry but none of your samples sound anything like the Cave track. of course there are tribal elements in various styles. there is tribal trance, tribal house, tribal techno. but its not the "tribal" what makes it techno.
