'''Schranz''' ({{IPA-de|ˈʃʁants}}) is a European style of music derived from [[techno music|techno]]. It originated in [[Germany]].

==Etymology==
(contracted; show full) [[Techno]] style inspired by [[Detroit Techno]] with reduced melodic elements. Schranz often features just single synth stabs or atmospheric sweeps with an emphasis on percussion. A trademark of this style are heavily compressed and filtered loops, combined with Roland 909 kick drums, snares, and high hats. A prime example of this are Chris Liebing's records ''The real Schranz 1-3'' and the ''Stigmata'' series by André Walter.

==Current trends==
Starting as a 
simple [[hard-techno]] sub-genre in 1998, Schranz evolved into a blend of [[hard-techno]] and [[minimal techno]] sub-genres inby 2002. In its infancy (1999–2001), the genre was prominently represented by, e.g., [[Guy Mcaffer]][[The Advent]] & [[Carl Cox]]. When it was popularized, modern Schranz artists such as [[Chris Liebing]] and [[Adam Beyer]] became some of its most well known producers, among others such as O.B.I, Lars Klein, Ade Fenton, Robert Natus, Lukas and others. The music is set at a tempo which usually is between about 1350 and 170 BPM, but has been known to go lower and even higher.
