The way Schranz is going....

[MITA]

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.

yep,i like that track on the record aswell,but rest is just crapisimo
that cheesy sinth in a1 is tottaly euro shite
bull fighter hahahaha.come on
dunno,here and there u can find some ok schranzy hard tech!

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!

I Love Schranz, Robert Natus really does it for me, but for Live sets Arkus P is wicked!! OBI, Ocram,Seema, Frank Kvitta, Linda Pearl..... I could go on forever. The Schranz total cd compilations are wicked I would highly reccoment them.

Where can you go from that I wonder? I thought Alec Empire was pretty messed up but he sounds like Eric Prydz next to that madness...

[DannyBlack]

I love it. Have any of you heard the new Switchblade stuff??? And the recent Matando releases have knocked me for six. There's a big progression going on here and although many of you might be against 1 bar loops (personally I love them in the right atmosphere), there's an energy in this sound that's just beginning to surface imho. Ogi's new track on Submissions says a hell of alot I thought.

Let me know what ya reckon eh :)

yeah, i have a hefty collection of switchblade stuff. you should check out infected and killaz records... especially the stuuf Amok does on em.

One day there will be a pioneer mixer with a schranze effect added to it.
A compressor and fuzz effect.
Then you will no longer need to buy shcranze, just play any record (locked grooves preferable) through the effect (at 155 -165bpm), and bobs your uncle. Skkrannzzz a go-go.
Should keep the kids amused for another 5 minutes before they wander off to download I know what you did last summer 10 to play on their PSPs

[DannyBlack]

exactly, it's just ridiculous.. i'm trying to make a good thread about taking schranz forward and ppl have to say 'oh no, i hate it, f it, etc etc'... well sorry but schranz is here to stay and if you don't like it i think ya need to leave the thread....... i remember ppl being like this when belgian techno came out in the 90's... whether you like it or not it's here - why not concentrate on what you like and put you effort into that.... my 2 cents..... instead of making a crappy post, if you don't like something why not make a topic about something you do???..

true say mate. i dont like schranz...










I ****ING LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol good idea! 165bpm is a nice comfortable speed to play at.

[stjohn]

its just another boundary.... Mark when you say schranz is here to stay, its categorising another form of techno, so that when new young people here it and go...." ooo thats cool, whats that?" he'll hear "schranz" and then go buy only schranz records, instead of being told, 'its techno, mate' ....... a full mix of schranz alone is very narrowminded imo, banging im sure, but just not very inventive.

i see what you mean by not very inventive, what i like to do is to kick in with some hard ass techno and whip into hard nasty schranz.
i appreciate that it aint for everybody and thats cool, what makes being human great is diversity. we all have our own shit.

mixing to me is about putting myself into it, trying to use my imagination, breaking what sometimes comes across as a monotonous mix.
surely if you hear a shit schranz mix it would be 90% down to the DJ?

[Pheeva]

true say mate. i dont like schranz...










I ****ING LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed!!!! ; )

hahahhaha quality.....

[recoil]

It was the schranz in 2002-2004 that made me decide to spin techno, now it's the kind of music that just isn't my thing. There is hardly diversity nor originality in that subgenre and so it becomes boring.

To each their own.
