The way Schranz is going....

[MOGZ-E]

I love it. Have any of you heard the new Switchblade stuff??? And the recent Matando releases have knocked me for six. There's a big progression going on here and although many of you might be against 1 bar loops (personally I love them in the right atmosphere), there's an energy in this sound that's just beginning to surface imho. Ogi's new track on Submissions says a hell of alot I thought.

Let me know what ya reckon eh :)

yo, the schranz is wicked, luving the sven wttekind stuff / boris s & alex calver at the mo.
i personaly think that some of it is poorley produced tho.

the bootlegs such as... schranz slippy - voodoo people - star 69 & la cambia, i just cant stop caining them every time i play out, thay all got a phat as feck base line.

i love the stuff

are you serious? thats prolly the worst shit called music i ever heard. a shame they call it techno. its as stupid as all the scooter stuff. i really cant believe that there are people liking this more than poor produced crap. and even worse: djs like rush etc. playing it regularly.

Schranz is what happens when those people on too many drugs who come up to you when you're playing and shout "harder, faster" discover fruity loops & compressor plug ins...

Good for you mate ;)
I would hope that people don't live their lives by the opinions of other people on message boreds (sic)

I still can't tell the difference between all the records though, I was under the impression that most schranz djs only had 2 records, which they mixed continuously all night....

[Aratron]

some of it is good
some of it is absolute garbage
just like techno

u mean they let a loop play and act like they spin records?!

I mean, I can't tell the difference between one distorted noise on the off beat with a banging kickdrum under loads of compression with another... that leads me to suspect that only 2 schranz tracks really exists.. it's only the labels on the records which are different :P

[Sunil]

I dunno, I listen to the odd thing these days, but nothing i'd think of buying. I wouldn't rule out playing it on the right night, but I'd just go back to the first records from Amok and a few others...

Difference is though Miro, that you were trying to diss something that you didn't have much of an idea about

I smell hypocrisy...

Come on Mark, we all know how irritating it is when people say "Techno? Isn't that all just bang bang bang..." so it's a bit crap to say the exact same about a particular strain of Techno you're not so chuffed with.

[fac]

it's a difference if someone who knows shit about electronic music says "bah, it's all the same" or another guy (e.g. mark) who is really into this kind of music says some similar sentence about the most monotonous, bangin, repetitive etc. stuff you can imagine

are you one of those people who takes too many drugs and shouts "harder faster?" at djs that are playing "sh it" because it's not "pumpin"

Try listening to it when you're straight mate... :P

go **** yourself

Agreed. However I am starting to get sick of the dark techno/schranz that I've been buying. Its starting to sound all very simmilar and depressing. I hope I'm wrong though, I hope it gets better. Less distortion would be good as would more variation in the tracks however the extreme compression is what I like about it.

and even worse: djs like rush etc. playing it regularly.

Yeah, Rush has become a disappointment over the last few years, DJ wise. A man of his age and background could surely be digging deeper, than instead of playing 2 hours of the same loop.

He played a disco set the night before his techno set in Dublin about a month ago, and the disco set was far superior - he really worked the crowd and had a great time himself; wheras the next night he just stayed at 150+ bpm with no progression, and lacked any kind of stage presence like he used to have.

I think Rush is one of techno's real characters, but it's a pity he is stuck in this mould now. He is an icon to younger people coming through so it would be good for him to open their minds a little... or even a smidgen.

yea im serious!!

schranz is getting well known in wales, the bootlegs are doing it, not a full set of bootlegs. when they are dropped in, they go nuts coz they know the tune.

seen yoji biomehanica play a flat out schranz set @ evolution, cardiff a few months back.

played schranz from start to finnish, dropped in schranz slippy & end of hopes remix, the crowd went nutts.

also they got alot fatter bass line than most schranz stuff.


i love it

Wow, he's rocking it there!

His talent needs to be recognised on a wider scale. Do Asia have an equivalent of the Eurovision?
