Schranz is a European style of music derived from techno. It originated in Germany.
The original Schranz sound is a harder, uptempo (about 150 BPM) techno style inspired by Detroit techno with reduced melodic elements. Schranz often features just single synth stabs or atmospheric sweeps with a major emphasis on percussion. A trademark of this style are heavily compressed and filtered loops, combined with Roland TR-909 kick drums, snares, and high hats with various forms of distortion applied. A prime example of this are Chris Liebing's records The Real Schranz 1–3, the Stigmata series by André Walter, and many of the Schranz 1.0–22.0 series compilations.
