Why Techno Diatom?
For the past four years, Techno Diatom has been diversifying the Romanian techno music landscape, introducing diversity and a fresh sound.
We deliberately steer clear of the Rominimal, Microhouse, and Tech-House patterns, championing instead the need for variety. Our audience shares this vision, and together we have inspired other collectives to explore and innovate. Choose Techno Diatom and be part of the movement!
On December 8th, we will delve into Hypnotic Techno, characterized by rhythmic and sonic loops, complemented by various modulating leads.
This is not your typical Mainroom techno with lengthy breakdowns and anticipated drops. Instead, it’s an invitation to freedom, to be yourself, to close your eyes and let the sound carry you away, because that’s what music is all about, isn’t it?
Inspired by the sweaty atmosphere of Western Europe, Techno Diatom awaits you at Club Subteran, on December 8th, 2023.

Electronic Music and Techno Subgenres:
House music stems from the sound of disco music, starting in the early 80s. Disco appeared in the early '70s as an underground movement born from the urban gay culture in New York.
Techno is a form of electronic music that became significant in the late 1980s and 1990s. While disco and R&B rely on live instruments, techno is created using electronic instruments.
Techno has its roots in German electro-pop bands, such as Kraftwerk, but the genre made its mark in cities like New York, Detroit, and Chicago.
In the late 90s, techno gave birth to many subgenres, including minimal techno, ambient techno, hardcore techno, industrial techno, intelligent dance music (IDM), trance, deep techno, and tech house. From these subgenres emerged branches such as acid house, rave, electronica, and EDM.
Techno Subgenres:
Detroit Techno
Derek May, Juan Atkins, and Derek Saunderson worked to develop a futuristic sound inspired by artists such as Kraftwerk, Devo, The Human League, and Gary Numan. They created a new sound inspired by the funk genre. It reflects "urban decay" and has come to be known as "Detroit Techno".
Minimal Techno
Minimal Techno ranges from 125 to 130 BPM. It appeared in the 90s and there are two main characteristics of this subgenre: "skeletalism" using only the basic elements (groove, kick, and bass) and "texture," meaning musical elements that are only touched on but not developed fully.
Deep Techno
Influenced by Minimal Techno and Deep House, Deep Techno appeared in Berlin in the 2000s. It features dark tones and emphasizes melody and harmony.
Dub Techno
This subgenre is slower, with a beat that ranges between 110 and 120 BPM. It's a mix of Minimal Techno and Dub Music. One of the pioneers of this style is the Berlin duo Basic Channel.
Acid Techno
It originated from acid house. Its main element is the Roland TB-303 synthesizer.
Industrial Techno
This subgenre is based on industrial music, featuring aggressive sounds, and often includes metallic sounds, electrical sounds, and dark ambient sounds.
Hard Techno
Ranging from 150 to 170 BPM, this subgenre features distorted beats and aggressive sounds.
Tech House
This subgenre merges techno with house music and has a groovy and soulful sound. It originated in the mid-'90s in the United States and Europe.
Minimal Techno and Tech House are two of the most popular subgenres of techno in Romania. Minimal Techno is characterized by its stripped-back aesthetic and its focus on rhythm and texture. Tech House blends the soulful and funky elements of house music with the stripped-back sound of techno.
Over the last decade, Romania has developed its own distinct style of minimal techno, sometimes referred to as "Rominimal." This style is characterized by its intricate drum patterns, lush soundscapes, and hypnotic grooves.
Despite the popularity of minimal techno and tech house, there is a growing community of music lovers and artists in Romania who are looking to diversify the techno music scene and introduce new sounds and styles. Techno Diatom is at the forefront of this movement, championing a more varied and adventurous approach to techno music.
By supporting Techno Diatom and attending our events, you are helping to cultivate a more diverse and vibrant techno culture in Romania. Come and join us on December 8th at Club Subteran and be part of the movement.
