    The whole point of good 'techno' is its rejection of classic melody in favor of overlapping loops that gradually change over a 32 and 64 beat periods. On the surface, the 4/4 beat is king and there is a lot of repetition, but if you listen closely,
    no two bars of the track are the same. The track is always evolving. This has an intrinsic psychedelic effect on the human brain, and generates a trance like state that alters your perception of time.
    Techno is not a linear musical experience it is a single place that is ancient and eternal. Each track is like a slightly different door to that place. But every artist working in techno recognizes that their work is only an entrance to the same thing. This is why good techno is essentially anonymous and is a strange way... humble.
    Electronic dance music has always been saturated with pop elements. It is an industry thing. They are always trying to create dance music that will cross over as a mainstream pop hit.
    Then there is the wacky stupid, tasteless stuff, because the music industry and nightclubs attract dicks, and no self respecting pop culture takes itself too seriously.

    I've been listening to techno for about 30 years now - and I'm still not bored of the genre, nor has it gotten stale but constantly reinventing the ideas of rhythm and sound. I grew up on the sounds of Jeff Mills, Juan Atkins, Luke Slater, etc and now I really dig the sounds of Amelie Lens, Rodhad, Paula Temple and so many others. I've seen other genres rise up and fall away, yet I see techno still there, still consistent and still so damn enjoyable... Long live techno.

    • @rpcheesman
      @rpcheesman 11 місяців тому +1

      @@SonderSessions It's really down to sound design, structure of rhythmic elements, etc. Listening to techno from the early 90's (like I did) onwards and step forwards 5 years each time and there's easily discernible differences in the genre. Evolutions like the more deep, hypnotic techno is a more recent progression of the genre (or sub-genre to be picky).
      The 4/4 may be the main driver, but a lot of techno relies on odd musical timings for things like polymeter or polyrhythm in things like the percussion/synth/bass elements. How these have been implemented has changed over the years too. (And a techno tune may not even be 4/4 either - ASC with a 3/4 non-stomper for example: ua-cam.com/video/A_qtyTqKXGs/v-deo.html )

      Amiele Lens isn't progress, or innovative, her music is regurgitated hard dance sounds from the late 90s. There is plenty of great if great "techno producers" still pushing boundaries in sounds but it ain't Lens 🤣

  • @nitelite78
    @nitelite78 4 роки тому +71

    Techno has a funny way of being both communal and solitary at the same time. It's tribal - lots of people dancing together, but individualistic and introverted - hypnotic, head down, eyes closed, focus is on the sound and rhythm not what other people are doing in the room.
    I don't think there is any other music that is quite like this.
    Also, for me at least, an important part of techno is that it's about hearing music you have never heard before. I know there's hits and classics in Techno as there is in all genres but I am most happy listening to a set where I don't recognise any of the tracks.

    The whole purpose of techno is to chill, with long repeating beats, melodies and tunes. What I like about techno is that when I'm not listening to it, I can have a certain part of a techno song in my head. Or of course some random beat or tune that would fit right into a Techno song.

    @Yntec 5 років тому +183

    Protip: Techno creates tension by making you feel trapped in a loop, and you wonder if on the next part you'll escape the loop or if the same thing will repeat again. It works because of the release created when something new happens, so songs can be extended with longer repetitions because those will just cause stronger releases.
    I'm actually not a big fan of pure techno, it could be argued that the Streets of Rage 3 soundtrack was very technoy, but I liked the first two ones better.

    • @anonymousdoggo4679

      This is actually a really accurate description. Techno isnt about 8bar loops. Techno is about 7bar, 10bar, 3bar loops, which are very uncommon in any other genres, so techno music progresses just when you least expect it. Thats why techno is bittersweet.

      EDM is not a genre at all and stands for Electronic Dance Music (I guess I didn't learn anything to you). Problem is the term is unclear and has no real definition whereas house, electro, techno or hardstyle has. You can't compare EDM to techno because that's like comparing chocolate to an orange. Yeah, you can prefer one and both are eatable but that stops there. Sandstorm is as different from bigroom as house is from techno.
      The real problem for the average "external" listener is EDM contains "Electronic Music" so they can associate any electronic music genre like techno with it

    Jesus Christ. EDM ISN'T A GENRE. It's a term used for many genres that are created with technology e.g. computer, synthesizer, drum machine. TECHNO *IS* EDM BECAUSE IT'S ELECTRONIC AND MADE TO DANCE TO. The guy who made this video is referring to mainstream genres that are mistaken for techno (mainstream genres like big room house, electro, trance, hardstyle (melodic hardstyle not reverse bass or raw)). As I say, Techno is EDM. EDM is not a genre IT. IS. A. TERM.

    EDM is an umbrella term, created by corporate suits in the Content® manufacturing industry, to describe something they didn't understand but needed to "brand" for marketing purposes. Techno is included in that umbrella term, like it or not.
    It'd be better to say that Techno is not Liquid Drum 'n Bass, or Trap, or Ambient, or any of the other many types of electronic music, because even giving lip service to the term "EDM" only serves to legitimise it, when in fact it should be abolished. "EDM" is an insult to every _actual_ genre of electronic music,. not just Techno.

    Techno is a sub-genre like House, Trance, Trap and Dubstep of EDM (Electronic Dance Music) but recently EDM has become a synonymous with Big Room House which is a sub-sub-sub-genre of EDM, sub-sub-genre of House and sub-genre of electro house. I'm not even kidding its actually that confusing.

    • @Nebeldiener
      @Nebeldiener 7 років тому +31

      The term EDM is arround since about 2010. It's mainly an US thing. So no, EDM ist not the main category of electronic music. It is an marketing term of the US music industry. So the term EDM is mainly used for the electronic music which is currently popular in the US.
      I'm from Switzerland and in my childhood, we had Techno, House and Electro. Everything else was a sub-genre of one of those. And then arround 2010: Boom, every Website started to write about EDM.
      For example: I listen to Hardstyle. So I say that I listen to Hardstyle. I don't go arround and say that I'm listening to EDM. The early Hardstyle was a mix between Hardcore/Gabber and Trance. So for me it's a sub-genre of Techno and House. And Techno evolved out of House. And Rave music which also evolved out of Techno and House.
      And I simply hate the term EDM because it makes as much sence to me as if I would threw Rock, Metal and Folk in one bucket and call it SASM (Sing and String Music).
      *Hears a song with an guitar in it* "I like SASM" (You see where I going there)
      And please don't put Techno and House on the same level as Dubstep and Trap.

      Fact: EDM is not a genre it is a collection of genres
      Fact: Electronic music is music that uses electonic instruments
      Fact: Dance music is music that is designed to be danced to
      Fact: Any genre that is Both electonic and dance is EDM
      Fact: Techno, House, Trap, Dubstep, Trance and other genres of music are genres that are electonic and people dance to therefore these genres are EDM
      Fact: Skrillex has made Brostep
      Fact: Brostep is a sub-genre of Dubstep
      Fact: People sometimes confuse what Techno is and call all EDM genres Techno
      Fact: People sometimes confuse Big Room House to be the only type of music that is EDM
      Opinion that I agree with: Techno, House and Trance are much better then Trap and Brostep
      Opinion that I agree with: Brostep is the worst sub-genre of Dubstep and ruined the genre
      Opinion that I agree with: Big Room House is very commercialied genre of EDM

      Scrambles the Death Dealer To be fair, a lot of the genres we talk about now have come about in those 20 years since you joined on, and that’s simply because there are so many more different kinds of electronic music out there now, with a hundred times more producers, and we need names for these things so we can talk about them all! But also, many of those developments are not terribly worth your time. A lot of the stuff I listen to (outside of hard dance; and even then...), even though I’ve only been in the scene for half your time, are genres from around 20 years ago as well. What do you think?

    Not an expert, but I’ve always felt that techno is more structured like disco - in the sense that both have a continuous and constant rhythm and beat (builds up slowly) while EDM emphasizes heavy drops and immediate buildups. Could be wrong, but I’d say that other than asthetic sounds, I think that these differences seem the most important.

    0:16 (Jazz-ish?) techno in background
    1:07 Techno
    1:20 Pretty standard house, with some hints towards moombahton
    1:52 Techno
    1:55 Tech house?
    2:04 Techno
    2:24 Bigroom, pretty low effort sound design
    2:32 Techno, with nice noise percs on wide
    2:52 Bigroom again, but a better example
    3:03 some kind of idm-esque techno, the melody is nonexistent
    3:33 Sandstorm, good old trance, it's evident in the drums and the chords
    3:44 Back to techno, with a very detuned lead
    4:14 Brostep, but one of the best songs of dubstep in the early 2010s and I cannot bear seeing it discredited.
    4:24 Indeed back to techno
    4:47 Inconclusive, just try explaining the differences in words - techno is built on simplicity, rhythm and ambience, while pretty much all other EDM subgenres are built on melodies and bass

The raves I went to back in the day would have flyers that would give you directions to a place and then you would sometimes have to get directions at that place to another place and that is where the party would be.
      Sometimes, the party would just be a few stacks of speakers, a couple lights and a nitrous tank but, those were the best ones. Those are the ones that would last all night. When they got too big, that's when they got busted

    Techno is like a sculpture which changes slowly; EDM remains yoked to traditional song structure with its peaks and troughs. Techno doesn’t really establish strong expectations in the listener. It doesn’t signpost it’s harmonic/rhythmic development so much as point you BACK at these developments when they have already been made without you being able to clearly hear it. Techno disassembles the attention (like lots of classical music) whereas EDM focuses it. Techno subverts the ego; EDM asserts it. Techno is anarchic and subversive; EDM valorises the individual, the consumer. Techno is philosophy; EDM is sophistry.

    Looks like the term EDM has changed its meaning. Last time I checked EDM meant just "electronic dance music", a blanket term covering all danceable genres of electronic music, including house, techno, trance, drum&bass, breakbeat, hardcore and so on (as opposed to synthesiser electronic music or avantgarde). Now I guess it means just some sub- sub-genre of house. People do like to complicate things needlessly.

      EDM is that big commercial sound you hear a lot these days. Its a mash of various styles of dance music, incl. Trance, House, Pop Dance, Electro, Progressive, Hardstyle

    EDM is an umbrella term for a ton of electronic genres. It represents all music primarily produced on a computer, composed by synthesizers and the likes. Not live instruments in a studio. These are produced for DJs to play at clubs for people to dance to. EDM subgenres can be everything from tropical house to hardstyle. Techno is a subgenre of EDM.
