Techno genres

From techno to hardcore : the styles we track across France and Spain, and who plays them.

Techno

Classic and contemporary techno : the backbone of the underground.

Hybrid of techno and house : groove-driven, club-ready. Joris Voorn, Loco Dice.

Euphoric, melodic, and hypnotic. Built to transcend.

Fast, aggressive, distorted : the harder side of techno.

Machine rhythms, noise, and raw power.

Distorted kicks at 160-200 BPM : gabber roots, relentless and extreme.

The squelching 303 sound that started it all.

Hard-hitting grooves with rhythmic intensity.

Hardcore pushed past 200 BPM : the most extreme end of the hard spectrum.

French hardcore variant at 200+ BPM with melodic epic builds. Dr Peacock, Sefa, Billx.

Heavy kicks, distorted leads, euphoric or raw. From hardstyle classic to rawstyle.
