Just some thoughts concerning 'schranz':

- overdrive/dist on some but not all elements (not on your master that is)

- piling large amounts of percussion-loops from sample cds (+effecting them, say dist/overdrive) !!!!!!

- use of filters

- delays to get things to run

- (hefty) compression! for pumping

- distorted 909 ridez

- bitcrushed/overdriven hihats; other lofi-fx on track elements

- tempo (145 bpm makes things run on their own )

- use of pre-delay on your kixk so they fall on the offbeats, kinda creating a bassline themselves

- repetitive subbass 'arps', repeating every beat, consisting of four hear-and feelable notes, with the last two being higher to accent the offbeat

- snares (ghost snares, too) can help build a lot of energy when working against each other; dist as well

just some ideas from the top of my head
