@ crime - lol, I meant german or swiss german that dont speak much english.

schranz is a german word/expression ,so it doesn't really apply to people who dont speak german.

on a funnier note, alot of swiss call hard techno "detroit" so maybe one of you professionals should open a techno school-academy in switzerland to clear things up

the worts thing is the pronounciation, say " schranz" ten times in a row and you´ll probably barf :lol:

[death on a stick]

if you say it right the word schranz can sound just like trance. depending on the pronounciation and accents used, of course.

Don't see the problem with it myself. The boy is just using it to describe his sound , which is fair enough. Schranz to me doesn't sound cool but it certainly doesn't annoy me.

In the end he does have a fairly unique sound , not saying it's a style of it's own , but you will always know a Liebing tune ( that can be both a good and a bad thing). No harm in the guy having a wee name for it really , he's not telling everyone else that they should be naming their style Schranz aswell.

There is always going to be different sub genres in Techno. If someone asks you what music you like and you say Techno , they will always follow it up with " What kind" and then you have to explain it. You can't just say techno , cause it is one of the most varied styles of music going.

I don't think it is anything to do with commercialism either as Techno will never ever be commercial , although I do think it is becoming more "popular".

The Liebing text pretty much sums it up, but there´s more to the word.

When I started listening to techno, the Word "Schranz" had just started to be used in the Frankfurt Area, and no one really knew what it was. Back then I couldn´t tell Liebing from Sven Väth, but on that fateful night, when I was in the U60311 and I had my first E... I knew what "Schranz" was. ...well at least I thought I did, actually I didn´t know shit, but that´s about the point most people who use the word are at. The word itself in german has a strange sort of dynamics, kind of like the Word "Scheiße" (s hit), which can be used for pretty much everything; positive or negative. Kinda like f*ck in english.

Nowadays hardly anyone used the word Schranz anymore to describe their music, because it is no longer considered cool. Then again, at least when you say "Schranz", everyone knowsyou mean hard banging german techno. Personally.. I don´t really give a Schranz :roll:
