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, repetitive 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 in 2002. (contracted; show full) ==Current trends== Schranz beginning as a simple [[hard-techno]] sub-genre in 1998, evolved into a blend of hard and [[minimal techno]] sub-genres in 2002. In it 's infancy (1999-–2001), the genre was prominently represented by [[DJ Amok]], [[DJ Rush]], and [[Carl Cox]]; As it was popularized, modern schranz artists including [[Chris Liebing]], [[Adam Beyer]], [[Gaetano Parisio]], [[Marco Carola]], and [[Dustin Zahn]] became it's most well known producers. Most are known to maintain 130-140 BPM. ==External links== * [http://techn0.eu Techn0.eu] - Techno portal dedicated to electronic music community, including DJs, producers, artists, promoters, organizations and fans. * [http://www.bluezone-corporation.com/catalogue/details/74/6/products/hard-techno-loops-&-schranz-samples.html Bluezone Corporation] - Hard Techno & Schranz Audio Samples. * [http://www.schranz.lt Schranz.lt] {{lt icon}} * [http://usb.unitedsb.de/ USB - The Hardtechno Family] {{de icon}} * [http://technomoshpit.com/ TECHNOMOSHPIT - Hard-Techno, Schranz, & Industrial Hardcore Label] ⏎ ⏎ {{Techno music-footer}} [[Category:Techno music genres]] [[cs:Schranz]] [[de:Schranz]] [[es:Schranz]] [[fr:Schranz]] [[nl:Schranz]] [[ja:シュランツ]] [[pl:Schranz]] [[ru:Шранц]] [[sk:Schranz]] [[fi:Schranz]] [[sv:Schranz]] All content in the above text box is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license Version 4 and was originally sourced from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=415257828.
