It`s so easy to make it. You can literally just mash any old crap together and produce it well. So I prefer to make melody really.
However, as soon as some people hear a melody they instantly think it trance.
Despite the fact that everything else in the tune isn`t. There`s closed mindedness for you, it`s one of the reasons why I`m starting a non techno label, to get away from the sub sub sub genre`s you get with techno people.
It's not that I have problems with melodies in techno.. on the contrary.. but the thing is wether something sounds "trancey" or whatever you want to call it depends a lot on the sounds you are using... You can make really heavy melodies with phatt sounds if you want....

The sounds you used for the melody in this track just resemble the sounds they've been using loads and loads in trance-tracks.....

Not a bad word about the tracks though... I defo like em...

b.t.w. think its the same when you start using those heavy D&B basses... people will always tell you its a D&B bass.. coz thats the tunes they know em from..

Hope u get what i mean...
