Dark Techno

Dark techno is a subgenre of techno characterized by its darker, more industrial, and often hypnotic sound. It typically features heavy basslines, distorted sounds, and a focus on creating a sense of tension and unease.

Dark techno emerged in the early to mid-1990s as a reaction against the more melodic and uplifting sounds of early techno and house music. Influenced by industrial music and early electronic experimentation, producers began to explore darker, more experimental sounds, using distortion, noise, and unconventional sound design to create a more intense and unsettling atmosphere. Over time, the genre has evolved, incorporating elements from other styles of electronic music while maintaining its focus on creating a dark and immersive sonic experience.
