Techno has been long for being an instrumental genre and not utilizing vocals apart from some speeches. But is it changing? Does Vocals Take Over Techno?

That silence track already exists on the Geogaddi. 🙂
Great video! You could also argue that melodic techno was influenced by 2011 era deep house. When you listen to the etherial moogs used by TOU in their remix of Every Minute Alone or Disco Gnome, you can certainly hear who today's melodic techno was inspired by that also
Once you start gatekeeping the term itself rather than enjoying the music, it’s over.
If vocals become a must in techno, then it is no longer techno.
your taking techno music and turning it into electronic music.. the likes of jeff mills, oscar mulero etc wouldnt consider vocals in their production. With a quote from white men cant jump 'your supposed to be hearing the music not listening to it'.
I loved this episode!!! Great documentary style 👌
Fantastic video!!!! <3
Top content! love this video
I would like to know where do you see Electronic Body Music (and what it became) in this context. People sung over Techno a long time ago. Bands like Covenant, VNV Nation and Apoptygma Berzerk started that in the 90ties.
I have always been in jungle and drum and bass the last 25 years. During covid lockdowns I started exploring Techno, I learned to love it and I am hooked on it. I am exploring so much in this and subgenres, there is so much historie an styles. These documentaries are really cool and informative. Thank you
Loved this video, although I don't sit down and think about my tracks having vocals or not, my only thought is to make some music and see what occurs. Not really into genres as such but I've always liked the term EDM as a catch all…even though I'm 45
In the 80s when house first came out in Chicago , vocals were widely used. But I think that’s because they were pretty much making electronic disco
Thanks for these cultural context Alice 🙂
I think it is a general development in society. Since social media became such a powerful communication tool everybody could express their feeling via twitter, facebook, etc… And nowadays it has become almost mandatory to have an opinion, an ideology and to trumpet it out as much and often one can. Sorry for the
social science approach to my answer, but it seems plausible to me. That being said I think that using vocals seems to be an equivalent or substitute for displaying an opinion.
There's big reason why I like techno, I don't have to listen any vocal info going into my brain. I want just my basic spine brain work.

You content is amazing 👏🏾👏🏾
I loved this video! The way you integrated history with the composition of your song was perfect!
Techno has always had vocals in some tracks. Why are these people talking as if something has suddenly changed or if there waa some stigma?! Check "Josh Wink & Lil Louis – How's Your Evening So Far?", we're talking 20+ years ago, Techno with a vocal. And that's faaaar from the only one. Melodic Techno is also nothing new. Acknowledge that Techno has been there before this generation got on to it. Everybody is welcome and almost everything goes, as long as you bring the Techno.
Maybe peak time techno will go in direction like in song: Magnetic Touch · Stevan Mandic, where vocal is one of lead elements and has more to say than regular sfx vocals…
This is really cool man. Excellent video, love this style and a great way to engage the community. Great to see your progression as a creator over the last couple of years! Props!
Some DJ-ing content/tutorials for melodic techno soon? 👀
Is melodic techno even techno? Surely the adding of vocals is just commercialisation or a softening up of the genre to make it more acceptable to the phone waving, social media hungry masses? It's far removed from the origins of Detroit or Berlin. The original stripped back 303/909 driven techno groove has been replaced with self indulgent, over complicated softcore fluff. Great video today.💜
Thank U !!! To ALL : SHARE PLEASE !!!
It's all techy trance in a lower BPM with 'drops' these days. Don't call that music Techno please.
Detroit Techno -> Minimal -> Dance -> Trance -> Melodic Techno -> Trance. Techno just found out Trance can something…
You doin some PBS short doc content now? I see you getting b roll strolling through a park.
Wooow
what a video…or should i rather call it, a documentary
This video also reminded me of the old times, where i first started listening to techno in 2015… man those were crazy crazy times…im getting all emotional over here 😂
