Pulsed Records Club Progressions Vol.1 MiDi

Depends on the club, depends on the band. It's a standard 4 on the floor beat, conducive to you know...dancing. You can still create groove with a steady pulse, you just dance the other instruments around the monotony of the drums. Not to mention there are plenty of genres that predominantly do the same thing. Techno is actually very involved production wise. And you must be young because it was a mainstay in clubs certainly in America where I believe you're from. I partied in clubs that you only read about these days and I can say: not only do clubs play it but it drew huge crowds to some of the best clubs in the world where it was played until people couldn't move anymore. Also a rich history there, grew out of Detroit which is one of the poorest areas in America so it was the people's music. Can't be too boring since it's primarily electronic music that was combined with funkier genres.

Early pioneers were heavily influenced by Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder and co. Some notable names were:


Juan Atkins


Derrick May

You should read up on it, it's actually a really interesting time in musical history.

There are so many different variations of EDM, Techno, Trance, Breaks, Pop, etc. and you will see there are a ton of different sub-genres. Once you learn what each variation is then you will have a better appreciation of given style. From what it sounds like your talking about any 4/4 style of music. Look into what style of music you are talking about and hopefully you will get a better understanding of that style of music and hopefully you will get a better appreciation of said style!!!!
