'''Schranz''' ({{IPA-de|ˈʃʁants}}) is a European hard style of [[techno music]]. It is typically played at around 150–170 BPM (beats per minute) but can also be slower. Schranz is based on massive kick drums, driving percussion, and distorted, loopingrepetitive synthesizer noises. 

==Etymology==
The term emerged in 1994 when [[Frankfurt]]-based DJ [[Chris Liebing]] and [[The Advent]] described a certain type of techno while searching for records at the now closed "Boy Records" store. The next time he visited the shop, the owner had a selection of harder techno records filed under ''Schranz''. "For me personally, since that day in 1994, Schranz is a description for various dark and distorted sounds in techno", Liebing said (contracted; show full)[[fr:Schranz]]
