Limo Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 < serious > Electro tends to have a different beat. Not four to the floor but like this: K . . S . . K . K . . S . . S . This is true for modern electro, anyway. CPU records and Cultivated Electronics and the like. With the older stuff, and with early Detroit, the boundaries are a bit more blurry. < / serious > Techno is when it’s boring. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubin Farr Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (This is a VERY brief history of commonly known facts) Electro came out of the early proto hip hop scene, influenced by Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, Arthur Baker, etc. productions. Techno rose from Detroit, and then New York to encompass a harder sound than the disco era. One notable fact is that a lot of the early pioneers of both genres were African American, over the years the scenes became increasingly dominated by white artists, the history of music in America. https://music.fandom.com/wiki/Electro https://www.traxmag.com/1981-1988-the-true-story-of-techno-in-detroit-by-the-pioneers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exitonly Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 yeah i always considered electro to be 'early-ish hip hop with drum machines/synths' and then later refined by drexciya and the like. techno derives from disco but with synths/drum machines. house derives from disco but with drum machines/soul samples.

That and this 2013 Ben Klock mix from Boiler Room (which has just awful sound quality on Mixcloud, I'm sure I have it in better quality somewhere) are great stand alone mixes. The Rob Hall series (12 of them) is so good as well. But that Surgeon set is so good. I'm gutted I've never seen him DJ live yet. My most recent favourite is Amelie Lens, saw her at Movement 2019 and she just killed it. Can't find that set anywhere and I wish I could, cause she went through a lot of material, including Dark and Long (Dark Train mix) and she closed it out with 20 minutes or so of some of the gnarliest techno I've ever heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
