To me it seems that the word "Techno" is more of a name for people who don't listen to or like this music. Sort of like when people call spinning wheels "Sprewells". He does not make them, nor did he invent the idea. He sells the wheels. Same thing as I said above. I really like calling it what it is, and that is Trance, House, Jungle, progressive, breaks, etc.

so what do you call techno..? i am confused with your theory, as none of the techno in my record box is trance, house, jungle, prog, or breaks... its techno!

I'll elaborate then. Every kind of style is Techno, it is just sub categorized. The differences between all the types is actually not very different. Some are faster, some are slower, some have more layers, some have simple beats. I just think it would be weird if someone asked me what my favorite type is between the two when IMO the question should be "What is my favorite betwen Trance and Progressive?". That way every style gets individual recognition.

This makes sense to me. I use "techno" as a general umbrella term for the whole "EDM tree" too. After all, these are TECHNOlogically-based forms of music.

yerrr that's the way!! everything except for country & western crap!

This thread should be how superior techtrance is over country & western. Hey, I might just invent a new style of music called Country-trance (thinks back on cotton-eye-joe & cringes & then vomits) ....sheezzzzz

Tu, we have a little bit of n00b confusion, see, some stupid twats that don't listen to any kind of EDM at all and then hear a track like Darude or Lasgo or some shit like that they go "oh, I hate that techno" when in reality it's just cheese and they have not the slightest idea about EDM genres, now this guy, knows about some EDM genres like Trance, House, Jungle etc. but he still thinks that Techno is the large genre that holds Trance, House, Jungle, Ambient etc. when he has no clue that it's a separate genre on it's own, that is completely different.

I know I might be a prick for saying this, I just can't hold back, please stop posting and do some research, sorry just had to let that out

LOL!
I'm thinking we need an AI bot to get on TA and round up some queries... no one as malicious as HAL 9000 though (or that intelligence that took over Carter).

james holden...luke chable....TRANCE?!?!?!?!??!

wtf

this is really confusing

anyways
glad to see that im not the only one wo got really away from trance

nothing really interesting is produced in trance tracks these days

i like techno a lot
tech-house...house.
prog

anything that sounds good to my ears

but when i listen to trance now i feel like my ears are getting filled by melted cheese

i think that techno is good for a banging nite at the club, trance is great, but we need to get alot of fresh tunes dropped for me to take it for a long time @ a dance event, if you really wanna jam, i suggest anything katana or marco v, there stuff is always full of that techy sound, always full of energy
