    dude i just had a biblically accurate angel tell me the 10 rules if techno
  • @Lo-118
    i got to 6 but after taking the acid i couldn't continue
  • @seansley
    Clearly, "ACID" was quite an influence on this one beyond number six
  • You should make this into a series with genres like jungle, 140 deep dub, house, drum and bass, uk garage etc.
  • @jmokiedm
    didn't know techno tutorials could make me question my existence
  • @Myrce
    Ok, i understand why my friends thinks that I'm a psychopath.
  • As a music teacher, I have to say - THIS is how music should be taught! Entertaining, informative and engaging! Thanks!
  • @jorisdocx
    Finally somebody using the term Techno for what indeed is techno.
  • this summarises like 10+ hours worth of music tutorials and somehow teaches it better while also being a bop
  • I've been watching music theory videos for like, 3 years at this point, and this is the most efficient I've seen. Artful, yet straight to the point and very informative.

    I love how the 'drop' in techno is basically squeeze a highpass filter and then go back to normal
  • @WiloPolis03
    This is actually a really educational and stylish way to look at techno & it definitely helped me better understand certain terminologies and jargon surrounding the genre/related genres. It's also horrifying and I'll never sleep again in my life, but you win some you lose some

    1:11 if the voice had said "hey apple" at this moment, my soul would have left my body.
  • @ancogaming
    Even as a metalhead, I could understand this lecture on a personal level. Well done, and thank you algorythm.
