Into what has techno turned today?

Post by Dj Reaper »

Hi,
I remember when I got actually into music I was listening to some techno/rave which was around on Youtube, like Dj Splash stuff and so (I guess that was the commercial sound like 5-10 years ago), and than as I grew up I came more and more into hardstyle/hardcore and lost the trace of techno.
This days I find myself when listening to commercial music infront of just house/electro and all the supersaws got replaced by wobbles and so and I am wondering, how the (commercial quality) techno sounds today..does it even still exsist? I jst find handsup and stuff like Italobrothers but where are the songs like "bass is kicking"and the stuff that was around on youtube like 5 years ago? Into what has it evolved? Some artists and examples of todays techno would be nice..by techno I intend supersaw leads, offbeat basses and a mechanical rhythm with many hi-hats and claps on every second kick, you know that cliche-techno-sound :)

Look for Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Len Faki for Techno, and Tech-Trance from the likes of Spinnin Recor, or Reset Records such as Simon Patterson, Mark Sherry, and Jordan Suckley.

I don't think he's referring to actual techno, but to hardhouse or harder hands-up. Supersaws etc.

Thanks for the answers :)
To be a bit more specific I mean things like this:

Check the song starting at 3:54


Or something like this


And like mentioned this:


I´m searching today´s (well-produced) equivalents to this music, if they exsist ;)

According to YouTube, every reggae song is made my Bob Marley and every genre of electronic music is called techno

There's an easy way to tell what's Techno and what isn't-

If someone refers to something as "techno", it isn't.
Case in point-

Basically, to everyone who knows jack-shit about fucking nothing, there's two types of dance music- Techno and House. If you're drinking at a bar, they play house. If you're getting high in a club, you're hearing techno. You could maybe throw Dubstep and Electro in there as well. They've had enough mainstream exposure lately for people to have heard the labels used to refer to this track and that one. But everything else is house or techno. I mean, you can't tell the man on the street that he doesn't know techno when he hears it- it's fucking techno. Everybody knows techno.

And yet paradoxically, despite it being relatively abundant, it is universally acknowledged that nobody listens to techno.
