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

==Etymology==
(contracted; show full) on percussion. A trademark of this style are heavily compressed and filtered loops, combined with Roland 909 kick drums, snares, and high hats with various forms of distortion applied. A prime example of this are Chris Liebing's records ''The real Schranz 1-3'', the ''Stigmata'' series by André Walter & Many of the Schranz 1.0 - 22.0 series complilations.

==Current trends==
Starting as a [[hard-techno]] sub-genre in 1998, Schranz evolved into a blend of [[
Hhardcore-T-techno]] and [[minimal techno]] sub-genres by 2002. In its infancy (1999–2001), the genre was prominently represented by, e.g., Guy "The Geezer" 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 150 and 170 BPM, but has been known to go lower and even higher. in 2012 Schranz has a very dedicated, but limited fan base, as other genres have taken ahead of the sound of schranz, such as the [[Hard Techno]] & [[Hardstyle]] genre's
and with the rise of dubstep and electro-house, schranz is not only difficult and rare to find, is loosing wide popularity, and is mainly still enjoyed by the hardcore diehard fans of this genre.
Places that you can still find schranz in 2012 are : Germany, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Spain & Bulgaria (slowly dying here) but in its prime was found all over globe, not limited to, but including, Australia, Brazil, Denmark, USA, among many others.
