'''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, repetitive synthesizer noisesmusic derived and influenced from [[techno music|techno]]. It originated in [[Germany]].

==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.
