Pardon my ignorance, but I keep reading people refering to it on this board, but have no idea what it is. :eh:
What labels/djs are knocking it out?
Seems to me that the pidgeon holing of genres is getting out of control...

Seems to me that the pidgeon holing of genres is getting out of control...
heya, i feel the same way. then again i was never to comfortable when house and techno split around 1992 :-) And dont even get me started on Trance splitting from Techno around 1994.
teh best thing about these micro genres is they seldom last more than a few years.
to answer your question, schranz imo is the gray area between techno, gabber and maybe even trance.
there is cats on this forum that can tell you much much more.

i think the best thing to listen to know what schranz is, is to listen the earl CLAU releases by chris liebing (the ten inchs series, which turned 12" since the number 8).
to me its the music describing the mso thtis name, and actually the rumor says its also the one taht inventd that name.
otherwise lsiten to any of dj rush set...

it's just a new word for hard techno
generally with a bit of distortion in it , chris leibing coined the phrase and now everyone uses it.
load of old bollocks if you ask me
nah, there is big difference between typical gabba/hc and schranz IMO. most of schranz djs I know or just talk too think hc is just a bit to fast anyway :lol:
term schranz doesnt mean anything, Liebing came up with that term, when he was asked to describe his "minimalistic but energetic, hard sets" in his radio show "Es ist Freiiiitaaag Aaaabend".. or something like that, dont remember, its story from 1999., and thats a long time ago :lol:

Schranz (IMHO) just another name for hard techno, as said before... My impression of schranz still is the 150 bpm monotone pounding beatz without any depth of content.
DJ's / Producers: Rush, Frank Kvitta, ViperXXL, Amok, Ogi, Daniel Gloomy are to be labeled in the schranz-section... But yeah... it's all just "too-hard-&-too-fast-techno" for me :twisted:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Schranz
Schranz is the name given to European hard techno, a style of techno typically around 140-150 BPM and based around massively bass-heavy kick drums, driving percussion and distorted, looping synth noises. The term originated in 1994 when Chris Liebing used it to describe a certain type of techno in a record store he ran; it has no particular meaning in any language. Some important producers in the genre are DJ Amok, DJ Rush, Sven Wittekind, The Anxious, Arkus P, Marco Remus and Patrik Skoog.
Nice to see a few of the boys mentioned in there.

Saw DJ Rush at Split/Atomic Jam last year. If what he played then was Schranz, you can keep it. I'd call it "plod" but then its each to their own.
A lot of techno you hear played out nowadays seems to be missing "the funk" or that vital spark to differentiate one track from the next.

a lot of schranz bores me thesedays....just seems to be far too many silly samples used with that 'same' boring stupidly fast beat.
wheres the funk gone?i recall being able to see dj rush a few years ago and although it could be looked upon as 'schranz' he was playing there was always this layer of groove going on that seems to be lacking in hard techno thesedays.
saying that though.....really hard techno on a night out can be fun after about 3am and everyones avin it. :lol:

Just for the record, Liebing never owned a record store, he (like most of the rest of us) just shopped there all the time and coined the phrase to describe the distorted shredding sound he was looking for in records to his dealer. Next thing you know there is a bin in the record store labeled Schranz. He also started using it on his radio show.
This is straight from the horses mouth.

I like it hard, but don't like schranz.too distorted for me,and too furious without any ideas,. warm sound is gone..it's just thin sounding, anything what is distorted enough pass well there.. I hate it...
and also can't understand how someone can say, Anxious, OGI and Skoog is schranz.... :shock:

load of old bollocks if you ask me
:lol: init! if you ask me a lot of the so called schranz producers are either going to hardcore or to trancy, there are only a few labels i will play now, a good old solid hard techno track cant be beat,. anyways labels like construct thythym jerk etc been making this kinda music for years with a lot better production quality. ;) + i always new as hard techno with a diffrent edge to it,but still hard techno. you can call it wot you you like for promotion perposes ive done it myself but it will always remain hard techno wot ever you call it. if im beeing honest i went record shopping the other day and couldent beleive how many vynyl i heard with the same loops in on these shranz records, i see a lot of skull records have been ripped off, shame!!!!! i think i counted at least 5 tunes with a boris s loop not mentioning wot i heard them on but it pissed me off as i am a record buyer! these kids are gettin away with far to much on these fruity loops etc! its nuts!!!!!! wot you guys think. :eh:

have to dis aggree there scot i no my techno and i can tell ya dude boris s production quality kicks the ass outa these kids, (take composure 12 for a kick off m8t) thats wot i call quality. + im not sure about the other way round dood either! im beeing completly honest, ive heard a lot a blaten ripping going on and it sounds crap! i do play some of the skull tracks as the production quality is far superior to sum of these wank tracks out there at the moment. im not going to mention any the labels coz i dont wanna public slangin match on ere! + is unproffesional to say so,but this problem is very much alive in the schranz scene as a whole!
yes of course m8t there is always going to be ripping off but these tracks ive heard are way to obvious man. ;)
however there are some quality schranz producers to, + i respect very much, but i could probably count them on 1 hand as apposed to the trash thats flying about. ;) they will learn in the end when no 1 is buying there stuff and its sitting on the shelf in shops adding to the missery of distributers + shop owners nightmares. ;)

but there is a market for it obviously, i used to love hard techno but just think its at an extremely low point at the moment!

i might be wrong but in an Irish interview in ANORAK magazine ,when Chris Liebing played here..... he said that some of the new techno is "too" hard.
i love it all but i might assume he was directing that at the wittekind, amok, switchblade/ laker, chris noise flavours.
so in saying this, is all that tuff 150something bpm schranz???...personally i dont care whats what. but its still a weird statement by CL himself.
(sunil maybe u can confirm whether he said this???)
Ritzi Lee
12-01-2005, 07:10 PM
well stjohn:
Liebing doesn't really play that fast.
i mean like 160....
and there's this missunderstanding if you talk about playing hard.
'hard' and 'fast' are still 2 different things.
nothing can be too hard..
one might not like some style or producers or whatever, but you just cant deny anymore that there is a need for taking hard techno to the next level of brutality.. there is audience for that, there are djs that spin that and producers making it, some produce good things, some produce garbage, as in every genre..
saying only hard techno is good techno is limited, but also, why limit techno on, dunno, 145/150 bpms? where is the funk there, someone asks? why do you want funk in every track, maybe I want it to sound industrial..
I really believe there is room for everything. keep pushing the boundaries.
and yeah, I dont think schranz = hard techno, its just like subgenre, coz there is lots of hard techno nowhere near schranz..

tru enough!!! i was just wonderin if u could call this core-tek schranz?? ive never fullly understood what it is and what it isnt. i always thought schranz = Chris Liebing. but Chris Liebing = normal hard techno.....carry the 1 etc.
i remember CL used to produce tunes without big basslines in the early CLR releases.... stuff like "ping pong pineapple" and "stigmata" i think . for a while i thought this was schranz, but now he whacks in the dark basslines. schranz is whatever goes i s'pose. or is it?

12-01-2005, 07:25 PM
sorry for the incoherence... when i said "tuff 150" i meant like Amok etc.....

I really have to disagree with that boss, i think that all techno has a kind of a base sound which defines what style you put it into and the schranz sound is seriously going places and has infinate posiblilitys, from my point of view its the one style thats really floating my boat at the moment,,,,,,, but then again due to my short attension span ive not read all of the posts but I would define schranz as amok, natus, boris s etc and im not sure wether im wrong and other people define it as liebling etc (I hate genres).... if it is the liebling sound your refering to then ignore this, but from the point of view of labels like skull, combat skill, etc thats the shit at the minute (IMO)

all that dark shit thats coming out of spain at the moment is the 'real' hard techno imo. gritty,soulful with real depth to it.
im absolutely appalled by some of that stuff on skull etc....that aint techno to me,its proper wishy washy made in 10 minutes stuff and i must admit in the past im guilty of buying it. :oops: anyone heard that overdoxx-piss off on skull??awfully bad!
anyone heard that overdoxx-piss off on skull??awfully bad!
I think there is a track pretty much the same, its just that the voice is saying "f**k you".. heard it for the first time when we had Ranieri in the club and I liked it..
thats why I was suprised when I heard this piss off on schranz total few months later.. :eh:

yea fusion im even cofussed now after reading about leibing etc maddness! anyway the labels you mention are all good, but like henry is saying in his post there are limited ideas and every 1 like i said in another post seems to be steeling off each other. but hey i am a kean supporter of this music as you well no, i just feel its still in development and needs to grow, you have to fish through the crap to get the good stuff! ;) but still the good stuff keeps ya grinding ya teeth all day long> :rambo: love it man. ;)

Pardon my ignorance, but I keep reading people refering to it on this board, but have no idea what it is. :eh:
What labels/djs are knocking it out?
Seems to me that the pidgeon holing of genres is getting out of control...
It's minimal hard house through a distortion pedal.

anyone heard that overdoxx-piss off on skull??awfully bad!
I think there is a track pretty much the same, its just that the voice is saying "f**k you".. heard it for the first time when we had Ranieri in the club and I liked it..
thats why I was suprised when I heard this piss off on schranz total few months later.. :eh:
exactly the same track but with 'piss off' instead of '**** you'.
how the hell can you get away with that? :nono: :doh:
wasent gunna say nowt about that frank but yea! you hit the nail on the head there, that really pissed me off + coming from skull to ,they are hit + miss like most stuff but that surly was a blatent 1 straight in ya face that just gives out a message of im only putting this track out with a diffrent sample because i cant be assed to create somthing new, he deserves a good old techno spanking for that. ;) guy mcaffer does it to in this country same loop diffrent sequence wen is that guy gunna change that set of percussion on r.a.w nothing against the lad but its becoming a bit weathered + boring now. anyway back to this thread that fuk you tune was great, but that piss off was just completly out of order , im totaly with ya on that 1 dood. ;)

In a nut shell imo... Its hard, fast distorted minmal techno, and I will admitt along side a crazy set it can be a great tool. However I don't fancy a whole set of it... names to chekc out DJ Amok, OBI, Tomash Gee, Arkus P, Chris Noise, Chris Hi Hat, Skarabex.. That should be good for now

thing is I dont get that stealing off each other limited ideas stuff as all the "schranz" combat skill, artilery etc stuff I have ever bought is spot on original 100% no ripping fresh sounding techno,,,,,,, from my point of view its a relief from all the limited sounding bastard son of acid techno and boring exagerated loop shit that has filled my record box for the last year or so, so its all good, Im even aware that because its big in europe there is a load of shite "I wanna be amok" stuff circulating but to be fair Ive never heard none of it (maybe im lucky),,,,,,,,,,, dont mean to offend anyone with this post its just at the minute my definition of schranz is keeping me from constant slayer and operation ivy and i really belive its giving the techno sceane a whole new face and a much needed kick up the arse, its bringing the gabba and speedcore heads in and the increase in intensity is just what alot of people needed :twisted: IMO

to be fair though i rekon that post sounded like im slagging off every other type of techno, didnt mean it like that, the schranz is for the last 3 or 4 (or half ;) ) of the set, the point i was trying to make is its a different dimension to add to my glitch, hydraulix, bound, LK rec stylee and i rekon that its just a relief to have more weapons at my disposal, really cant see any bad points about it at all IMO

easy now fusion i no exactly where you coming from i was a North resident for 4 years + yes wen i first started dropping these tracks the gabba heads hardcore techno lot loved it ,no 1 new wot the hell i was playing, in the end even the trance djs were trainspotting my stuff, so yes we on the same level there dude!
however there is a lot of ripping going on mabey not so much on the labels you talk of but a lot, i dont wanna mention artists who doing it because most of them have sent me demos, ive about 85 demo cds here for supertech from all over the world by artists you have named even, you will be suprised ;) + you will also be suprised at how many have the same loops in from big boys + upcoming lads. anyway its moving forward and im doing it with my label in this country, is the whole reason i started it.
it is the new age techno whether people like it or not but yet still early days, like i said there is a lot more to come and these artist will develope even further. :rambo:
does any 1 no wot schranz means in english or is it just a made up german word ?

yea frank its good + bad ,im amazed at how many hard house djz have turned techno, + even the likes of judge jools with robert natus etc, its crazy stuff! only thing is wot they doing it for ? im curious ?
anyways this schranz stuff does attract more people to techno whitch is a good thing ,only i can see it attracts sum hungry money men to ,this causes problems for hard techno artists as a whole where as people are getting paid far to much for playing another mans music, more than whitch the artist who actually write the music are.
its a funny situation .
just got to live with it i suppose, i feel its a shame wen theres guys that have been trying to push there selves for years as a dedicated hard techno artist ,+ then all of a sudden a big fleet of of hard house djz + comersial djz cum alaong and basicaly cause caos . people get pissed off!
you feel robbed sort of thing! ;)

whether its a made up word or not, this style of music came along when i was looking for something fresh. at that time kay d smith, sven wittekind, robert natus, amok, boris s etc were giving us something new and ball breakingly hard. i like my techno banging, so i was well chuffed to be finding these records!! i cant have been the only one otherwise it just would have faded and died, but its still going strong, and the producers who know the score have developed the sound really well. like most forms of music which become popular, there will be low quality rip offs, but the producers who pioneered this sound are still making original music. i saw sven wittekind at locked recently, and he played a whole set of the stuff and it was ****ing great, it was like being at the techno version of a slayer gig!!! you cant please all the people all the time, theres far too much 'i like this techno' 'i like that techno'. the original thread was 'what is it?' not 'argue amongst amongst yourselves and get nowhere'.

yea man i totally agree with your comments as a fellow artist who supports this music, the thing is i love all styles of techno,i wouldent want to go to a club + listen to schranz all night,more of case where the promoters have thought out there line up in nice manner where you can build up to this stuff ,let the club work its way up sorta thing, ;)
its easily to get board easliy if its playing all night, ;)
i dont think there is a case of arguing amonst our selves ,most of us love this music we just talking about a few high + lows , its fresh like you say so its boun to be a bit debateable dude!
but as a whole WOT IS SCHRANZ ? disgusting hard techno that make`s you dance your ass off!, a new genere, a stepping stone in the right direction for techno ,absolutly cracking music! :rambo:
