I've always found it fascinating how people passionately argue about what category music goes into. Who cares?

A friend wants me to review his 30 min techno mix. I had no idea what to look for. But thank you for walking us through the basics. I can now share my experience from a more personal view. I didn't realize how versatile techno really is. I love the infusion of different genres. I also know how to identify its subgenres. And I know which techno groove is my favorite. I love rave and ethnic techno.

Nice! The original Detroit version of the genre is still my favourite. And remember, don't techno for an answer.

[Lance_G]

Always a joy to see you do your thing! Loving the very organic and informative approach to teaching the core concepts of such a great genre

[designzonebeats]

That was so great. Always happy to listen to someone with a lot of experience. Now to go look for examples of Detroit 90's techno! Thanks for your work!

There are always many interesting ideas, just like your music!Big John!

Nice one John... simple and effective. Thx for the nice tips u been giving out. Legend

[lifebass]

One way to define Techno is that it's a dark grumpy non-melodic House with a low kick and a faster tempo.

[DavidBoura]

Finally i could watch this video, and it was highly inspirative!

[harmlesscreationsofthegree]

Very slick! Simple and well explained 👌🏽

[koolvapes]

Always a pleasure to hear you and your sick groove

[PAZPERDEE]

I have been out of the scene longer than I can remember, but I am keen to get back on it, thanks for the video, it’s funny as I find it hard to describe techno too as like you said it’s bigger than that, it’s just magical 🙏

[FuZZbaLLbee]

Sounds good. Personally i would put a nice long pad or strings chord progression in there for the classic Detroid sound, but that's just something i really like.

Whoaaaa - first time seeing this channel, and it's 343 Labs... with 34.3K subscribers?? Coincidence, or something broke with the Internet? :) I guess next stop is 343K subs...

[quantum_ocean]

i really prefer it when channels add 'chapters" so I can get an overview of the content and jump to the meat and potatoes.

[Lifeofnuggs]

Definitely took a lot from this, thank you!

I think techno should not be considered as bum tss bum tss, acid, repeating loops etc... It should be about technology, more experimenting, nerdy stuff and I really don't like the idea of some sounds what defines Techno, "someone's kind of vibe". that's how people started and found this genre.
For me techno can even be without drums.

I can totally understand that some people would not agree with me.

I really like a quote from mylar melodies podcast (which I really recommend to listen to): why we bleep with Surgeon and his quote: Electro is some kind of Techno but Techno is not kind of Electro.

[AgentOrangeTheDJ]

Great video! I think the worlds miss-use of the name "Techno" has held the genre back and always will unfortunately
