Bouncy techno is a style of music circa 1992, mostly emanating from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
Typical characteristics for bouncy techno are for compositions to be around a tempo of 160 to 180 BPM (beats per minute) using a 4/4 signature of 4 cycle segments, where different elements would be gradually layered into the mix.
It is believed the actual bouncy techno term originated during 1992, derived from crowds bouncing to this music at raves.
Techno, however, is not the sound of the Seventh City.
It's the boom of the bass that rules the clubs and the radio dial in the D. As Aux 88's Tom Tom (Tommy Hamilton) puts it, the players are ones like Detroit's Di'jital, 12Tech Mobb, and DJ Assault, along with Ann Arbor, Michigan's Ectomorph.
Aux 88 produce technobass, music with a solid bass-driven rhythmic foundation that avoids the "booty music" tag by trading in the sexual focus for vocals based more on technology or simply a call to dance.
