The previous one was funny and a good song but not as hardcore as I wanted it to be.

Here's some Goa Trance . Song is Talamasca - Jungle Storm. Goa is ... not for everyone

Hey Flo, how about put all the techno/dance stuff in the TECHNO thread.

by **Floross** on Fri Mar 05, 2010 6:31 pm

Techno is a sub-genre of dance, so is eurodance, but I don't feel like making another topic. I'll post the trance stuff in that thread even though they are different styles.

Difference between trance and techno:

Techno
1. Techno mainly focuses on percussion - the beats, while the melody is usually non-existent or very subtle in a techno track. By employing a wide variety of abstract drum patterns, techno doesn't need a melody to make it interesting.
2. Techno generally has fewer layers than trance, so it may seem more repetitive, but this allows it to be layered nicely on top of other techno tracks without sounding too busy.
3. Build-ups are rare in techno. Instead, a techno song usually consists of constant pumps of high energy.
4. Techno is older than trance, originally created in the early-to-mid 80s by black Americans in Detroit.
5. Techno is generally harder than trance, groovier, it makes you want to forget about your problems and dance like a crazy person all night long!

Trance
1. Trance mainly focuses on the melody. It's all about the lead synths, whooshing pads, and pretty strings.
2. Trance generally has more layers than techno, and for this reason it is usually less repetitive since there is more to add or subtract and change up the sound.
3. Trance usually has one or more build-ups, each followed by a release.
4. Trance is newer than techno, created in the early 90s by white people in Europe (Germany originally).
5. Trance is more uplifting, it is music for the mind. It finds escape in dreaming more than it does in dancing, though it's good for that too!

With that being said :

P.S. Yeah , I guess I did post atleast one techno song in this thread , I'll be switching that to the techno thread from now on.

P.S.2 I don't mean to sound rude but to clear the confusion here's another quote :

Techno is a genre by itself. It's different from house, trance, drum and bass... the confusion comes from the fact that most people who don't know much about electronic music just refer to it all as "techno". But techno is actually just one of the genres in electronic music.

P.S. 3 Hey Shamiel , if you're reading this could you change that thread to TECHNO & TRANCE ?
