DJ Hypnotic Techno in Madrid - 404Error
The hypnotic technique is the other side of the sound of 404Error: it pinches it in vinyl in Madrid within its sets of deep techno, and is the thread of much of the series Nu: Tech. Here's what it is, who does it, what labels they publish it and how it sounds in a session.
What is Hypnotic Techno?
The hyphnotic technique is a technique of repeated patterns for minutes that change in minimum details: a filter that opens, a percussion that enters and leaves, an echo that grows. The center of the mixture is the rhythm, not the melody, and the tension is held instead of being released in a drop. The themes last from seven to twelve minutes and are designed to chain, so the track enters a kind of trance by accumulation.
Hypnotic techno in a sentence
The hyphnotic techno is from 130 to 138 BPM built on the repetition: percussion patterns that sound for minutes and change in minimum details, little melody and a tension that is sustained without drops.

Hypnotic techno and deep techno: why they go together
In me sets the hypnotic technique does not go apart: it lives within the sets deep techno. The deep envelopes the atmosphere and the severe; the hypnotic is caught by the rhythm and repetition. They share artists, labels and many vinyls which are the two things at once, and on a long night one takes the other: the deep opens and prepares the room, the hypnotic holds the center of the night without the need for peaks.

How the hypnotic techno sounds in a 404Error session
The hypnotic technique requires long mixtures, of two or three minutes, in which two vinyls They live together and the listener does not know when the subject has changed. In vinyl that forces you to choose vinyls that fit in tone and texture, because there is no automatic synchrony that covers a shock. That's why my sets of hypnotic last from one to two hours and rise by accumulation: more percussion, more layers, the same intention. Listen. Point of Determination for the purest side, Have You Seen This Girl? for a session that goes up and then goes down to a slower and deeper techno, or When I count to ten, halfway between deep and hypnotic.
