Probably showing what a basic ♥♥♥♥♥ I am when it comes to electronic music, but I quite like this track.

Techno? A thread about oldies?

Techno is a distinctive sound style. I can hear the difference. :Her3:

First of all, based on the video in the OP, check out Tech House as a subgenre in general. That's pretty much what "techno" turned into in the contemporary scene.

I would post examples of some good Tech, but... my folder isn't even labeled because it's all underground. And it's not the easiest stuff to find on YT outside of collections. And to be honest I'm not all that impressed with what I'm hearing from the like, six accounts posting sets there. Shrug.

Anyway. Aside from that, here's some of my faves across different artists and styles I've played. IMO you never stop finding new stuff you like if you branch out and play the field, so to speak. Might like some, might not, this is how ya find out, right?

Modern electronic music is an endless morass of subgenres but I've tried to classify these in some kind of vaguely understandable sense, in case you want to investigate one more specifically.

I'd probably call these general "House"
...whatever that even means anymore.

Psy/Goa Trance
"Harder," definitely trippier, but has some of that speedy feel from older techno and core.

Downtempo/Chill
...similar-yet-opposite of...kinda both above groups.

I assume we're veering away from "bass culture" here, so even though I could post that stuff all day I will restrain myself because that seems tangential.

Also, there's always your standard Progressive/Vocal/Club Trance but...that stuff is so impossible to avoid, you will find it anyway if you're looking for electronic anything.

There's always someone attempting to gatekeep, or classify music into micro-genres and as such, Techno is often misidentified -- :Her3:

Well see the thing about "techno," is that early on, it was basically just a blanket term whipped up by the industry that meant "music someone made on them newfangled electro-thingies what I don't understand."

Everyone from Carl Cox to Paul van Dyk to 'Mr Club himself' Oakenfold fell under "techno" at one point. And they really aren't similar at all stylistically.

Eventually that settled into an allegedly-distinctive style, which is most closely resembled in contemporary production by the unfortunately raggedy minimalist house scene in Europe. But I would call that revisionist, to be honest, because it's a modern definition of something people didn't actually come up through. It's like how you always see people throwing "80s parties," when what they're actually doing is 90s television culture.

I always personally found that no two people use "techno" in the same way. Instead they tend to use it to refer to their first point of exposure. So to be honest I just simply don't consider it a useful term, especially since it's conceptually dead now. No stylistic qualities were actually ever established for multiple decades during its heyday, besides "produced on electronic instruments."

Which is exactly why electronic subgenres happened, although that's a whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ now because every 4th producer thinks they've done something new.
