i didn't no what it was either till about a few weeks ago.

Nobody explains **** all round here, so i wen't on to WIKI and here is what it said.


Schranz is the name given to European (especially German) hard techno, a style of techno typically around 140-150 BPM and based around massively bass-heavy kick drums, driving percussion and distorted, looping synth noises. The music can however be slower. The term originated in 1994 when Frankfurt-based DJ Chris Liebing used it to describe a certain type of techno in a record store he ran -- "For me personally, since that day in 1994, "Schranz" is a description for various dark and distorted sounds in Techno" (Chris Liebing 2002). "Schranz" is a surname found predominantly in Austria, "schranzen" means to eat loudly and voraciously in Dutch slang. There are speculations, however, that it was meant as a contraction of the to German verbs schreien (scream) and tanzen (dance), i.e. "schr-anz".

people don't describe it because there's hundreds of topics on the subject in here, that's why the forum has a search function.

anyway, im personally loving the schranz electro house stuff that's about now:dans taxi:
