The Dark Side of Techno: Sleazy Techno Music
Contents
The Dark Side of Techno explores the seedier, more underground side of techno music. From the sleazy, industrial sounds of Berlin to the more experimental, dark and atmospheric techno coming out of Japan, this blog covers it all.
Introduction
Techno music has always had a dark side. From its roots in the underground clubs of Detroit and Chicago, to the European rave scene of the 1990s, techno has often been associated with hedonism, excess and sometimes even danger.
In recent years, a new subgenre of techno has emerged that is taking these dark themes to new levels. Sleazy techno is a new breed of techno that is explicit, erotic and sometimes even disturbing.
This form of techno is not for everyone. But for those who are drawn to its dark allure, sleazy techno can be a new way to explore the limits of their own sexuality.
The seedy underbelly of techno
Techno is known for its dark, mysterious, and often seedy underbelly. This is a side of the music that is often hidden from the mainstream public. It’s a side that is filled with drugs, sex, and often times, crime. This is the dark side of techno.
The dark, sexual side of techno
Techno music has always had a dark, sexual side to it. From the sleazy, attitude-filled early days of Detroit techno to the more explicit themes of today’s “sleaze techno” scene, there has always been an undercurrent of sexuality in the music.
While some people might see this as a negative aspect of the music, others find it to be one of its most appealing qualities. After all, what could be more erotic than dancing all night to throbbing, industrial-strength techno beats?
For those who are interested in exploring the sleazier side of techno, there are plenty of options out there. Here are just a few of the many artists who are making sleazy techno music today:
1. Djedjotronic: This French producer is one of the pioneers of “sleaze techno,” with his 2006 debut album “Kinky Gamez” setting the standard for what was to come. Djedjotronic’s music is dark, dirty and often explicitly sexual, with tracks like “Fuck You” and “I Wanna Fuck You” leaving little to the imagination.
2. Strip Steve: Another French producer, Strip Steve is perhaps best known for his work with Diplo’s Mad Decent label. His music is similarly dark and dirty to Djedjotronic’s, but with a bit more of a funky edge. Tracks like “Striptease” and “Sexy MF” are guaranteed to get any party started.
3. Cardopusher: A Venezuelan producer now based in Barcelona, Cardopusher makes some of the darkest and most twisted sleaze techno around. His 2010 album “Toxic Doubt” is full of menacing basslines and perverse lyrics, making it perfect for anyone who likes their techno on the edgier side.
4. 808 Dublin: A relatively new name on the scene, 808 Dublin is quickly making a name for himself with his unique brand of sleaze-infused techno. His music combines elements of acid house, Detroit techno and Chicago house to create a sound that is both erotic and downright dirty. Tracks like “Titty twister” and “Pussy power” definitely live up to their names!
The violent side of techno
Some techno music has a dark, violent edge to it that can be disturbing or even dangerous. This type of techno is sometimes called “sleazy techno” because it often features dark, seedy, or sexual themes. It can be hard to tell if a song is sleazy techno just by listening to it, so it’s important to do some research before you listen to this type of music.
Sleazy techno often contains disturbing or violent lyrics, and the music itself can be aggressive and chaotic. This type of music can be triggering for people who have experienced trauma, and it can also be dangerous if you are not in a safe place when you listen to it. If you are struggling with mental illness, it is best to avoid this type of music altogether.
The drug-fueled side of techno
The seedy underbelly of techno is the dark side of the genre that is often fuel by drugs. This type of techno is characterized by its dark, industrial, and often sexual sound. It is not for the faint of heart and can be quite confronting. However, it can also be extremely exhilarating and even addictive.
This type of techno music is often associated with illegal drug use, particularly Ecstasy (MDMA). The use of drugs like Ecstasy can lead to a heightened sense of awareness and a feeling of euphoria that is perfect for dancing all night long. However, it can also lead to dehydration, anxiety, and even paranoia.
If you are considering attending a techno club or rave, be sure to do your research beforehand. Make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into and be prepared for a wild night.
Conclusion
In conclusion, techno music can be quite sleazy and not all of it is good for your ears. You should be careful about the kind of techno music you listen to and make sure that you are not getting too caught up in the dark side of the genre.
