Schranz Vs Hard Techno

[MARKEG]

For me there's no contest. Schranz has really come into it's own recently. I love it, when I'm in a club and really wanting to 'av' it, it really works. Bang bang bang, eyes in the back of your head, bang bang. Lovely.

But there's nothing that beats well produced hard techno. And the thing I find with hard techno is that every artist really tries hard not only to put the hardness in, but also the funk. Hmmm

Does everyone see what I'm saying? And which style do you prefer? Or would you prefer to leave the categories aside? Let the discussion begin!!

hmmmm. for me producing schranz is much easier than all kinds of hard tekkno. My most [djing] prefered style is banging/punding tekkno. I dont like bassline in nowadays schranz, which seems to be poor IMO

[Traxx]

i used to quite a bit of schranz but of late ive really gone of the genre as a whole.....there's still a few schranz tune's that come along that i like & it really makes everyone get a stomp on....

But now i find that there's alot more emphasis on makin it sound as dirty as possible and less on the production quality side which imo makes alot of the schranz that i listen to now sound cluttered & noisy......

Hard yet thoughtful, well made techno for me all the way these days...

I agree.

what's schranz?

I love Schranz for what it is, but you can't beat a good, well produced bit of hard techno, Skoog or Wilson style.

I must admit i got slightly bored of that sound at one point,sounded very poorly put together and really didnt have much soul at all.

One particularly hard mix that has made me pay attention to recently is the DJ Amok mix from Locked,Manchester thats doin the rounds of late.
Absolutely fantastic mix thats really well put together without sounding boring or lacking any imagination.

schranz is good, but i cannot stand an intire set of it.

hard techno is where it is at for me really, but if you can throw some schranz into a hard techno set its awesome. but too much of it can really get to me.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Personally I prefer Hard Techno to Schranz. Schranz is a little to cold, Militaristic and "German" for me. In the same way that in the days of industrial, there was a lot of emotional, dancable stuff, and then ebm came along and it was very rigid and militaristic.
I just like a little more sould and a little more groove.

It's a hard task to fuse funk and hard tech...aint it :?:

i can't believe you started another conversation like this.

I can listen to shranz for about 5(ok max 10) mins,then i get really boooorred ;)

[gunjack]

SHRANZ DOES NOT EXIST.

[Gloomy]

I'd say combine harder hard tech (wilson, eg, rodell, klein, slobodan, gunjack - some great shit lattely) with less distorted schranz and u have a winner ;)

sound quality in most recent schranz is really poor :cry: no basslines just some poor digitaly overdriven sounds.

i'm still a bassline junkie, hehehehe

[waldhaus]

what is schranz? ;)
ok, i produce mainly fast distorted monotonous cold techno BUT
I prefer a good mix of hardtechno and schranz, to keep a set interesting. I find it totally boring to hear a DJ who plays 158 bpm from the beginning til the end, only "bangbangbangbang - i have the hardest cock here". It's no wonder that the "schranz"parties here in germany more and more lack of party people since the last year. The DJs do not create tension, there is only schranz the whole evening, and the DJs all play the same tracks. Imagine, you go into a club and listen the same sound and the same records the whole night :roll:

i dont like the term schranz but what other term do u use to describe the amok, wittekind, kivatta, arkus p, etc (sorry if i spelt the names wrong) style techno? maybe just call it really really hard german techno?

[dirty_bass]

it`s noy really really hard
it`s just distorted.
hard is when the definition of the sound is crisp, and comes out the speakers so punchy it cuts chunks out yer forhead.
