Nobody explains **** all round here, so i wen't on to WIKI and here is what it said.
Schranz is the name given to European (especially German) hard techno, a style of techno typically around 140-150 BPM and based around massively bass-heavy kick drums, driving percussion and distorted, looping synth noises. The music can however be slower. The term originated in 1994 when Frankfurt-based DJ Chris Liebing used it to describe a certain type of techno in a record store he ran -- "For me personally, since that day in 1994, "Schranz" is a description for various dark and distorted sounds in Techno" (Chris Liebing 2002). "Schranz" is a surname found predominantly in Austria, "schranzen" means to eat loudly and voraciously in Dutch slang. There are speculations, however, that it was meant as a contraction of the to German verbs schreien (scream) and tanzen (dance), i.e. "schr-anz".
people don't describe it because there's hundreds of topics on the subject in here, that's why the forum has a search function.
anyway, im personally loving the schranz electro house stuff that's about now:dans taxi:
yeh, sorry for the rant. :ohdear:

But from what I've heard it's just really fast pounding techno. And who here doesn't like a little 150 bpm pounding techno once in a while?
LOL- you guys have the best visuals for this discussion. I love it.Quote:

schranz is what you need when other techno is too highbrow for you
i used to have a problem with the name, now i don't. you move on....
it's basically hard, fast techno but on a 1 bar loop with anything from pop to hardcore thrown over the top. not the original ethos of techno to many, but hey, inner city put pop lyics over techno in the 80's and ppl still call that techno. and it is imho..
check out the sven wittekind or robert natus for good examples. but there's a new breed too, and it seems to developing quick, just like the likes of C-Tank did in the 90's. i'm particularly liking Switchblade at the mo, you should check their stuff out for sure...
thanks guys for Nearly clearing that up for me. :P
At least I have an idea now , I think.
I guess from the explanations given I may like it so I will hunt down some of this stuff and give it a go . I suppose I was wary of trying it cause of all the slating its got on this board on previous threads. But I should have learnt by now to trust my ears and not take as gospel all that is written on the internet.
If anybody cares to know
Although I have not Dj'd for 7 years now I still love my Techno/Electro, keep the music alive people.
