muah, definitely

"i need MP3ees, vinyl is dead bruvv -- whaa, u're talking shieeeeeeet"

typical Clipz and his clown army :)


anyhow, what a nice turn for a schranz thread! // although I'm a bit of a vinyl fetishist too, the only thing what kinda bothers me concerning digital revolution is how do we get right music to the right audience in times when even the hard copy market suffers from overproduction? // should come up with new means of marketing, I guess.. other than plain spamming :D

Schranz is definately going forward with lots of new producers coming through. I would like to see more producers from the UK representing a little more. Schranz is a much larger scene in europe and will continue to lead this genre. I have recently had various visits to european venue's playing schranz, where the vibe and amount of support out there is immense.
I got more into schranz about 2 years ago now, where i became bored of everyone playing the same funky techno and cloning henry's tracks but to no avail. I needed something new and fresh with more energy to the overall sound and schranz seemed the right direction to take. It maybe a little fast and distorted to some people, but it is everyones personal preference to like whatever sound they want. Long live the harder sound!

We had Amok playing here some days ago, interesting style, too fast for me personally, but really different to most Schranz-acts we had here the last 2 years. Really hard, sick and dark.

i think Amok is more industrial and hardcore rather than hardtechno/schranz these days. 158 is prob my limit for tempo. Some great releases from him in the past though

[The Overfiend]

From what I understand Amok was veering into a harder industrial sound rather than the quote on quote schranz ethic

i love this new wittekind thing i got last week
the sunstorm ep on abstract records
very nice track on the b i think
with a swirly synth pattern and a great drop
its pretty difficult to get the seperation between synths and all those drums but he's done it really well i think
i got it because i was playing in sardinia over chrimbo and the local dj there is a total schranz head , so he had all the latest stuff
and i have to say i didn't hate it nearly as much as before.
it used to be all bootlegs with the worst cheesy trax just ripped to bits but now people seem to be getting into original trax again
which is great i.m.o.
and it's really not bad either.
sure there's always going to be fodder , but thats same anywhere isn't it?
maybe the schranz guys have been guilty of just thrashing it out in the past
but the bar of quality has been raised recently for sure.

sunstorm ep
a1 on that record is really nice

a1 on inflicted 009 also has a fine trancy melody, reminds me on earlier bonzai output a bit...in a hard techno remix hehe

I saw Swen Wittekind and Felix Kroecher on NYE in Barcelona and they were both played blinding sets. Also saw DJ Lukas a few days later who was pretty damn good too.

Never really listened to much Schranz before as I just had the attitude (like most people in this thread) that it was just very montonous relentless techno. I'd say I still think that about a lot of it, but some of the tunes I heard in Barcleona were amazing. Growling basslines, synths, mixing in trancy elements, breakbeats, mad cutting.

I think the energy it creates on the dancefloor in the right party is just brilliant. And as for the bootlegs, I think they're quality (in moderation). People need to stop taking themselves so seriously and have a bit of fun!
