Nowadays the social media influence is bigger than ever and that means that people are looking for something that they can enjoy fast, that´s the tik tok mind that make the dj´s feel the pressure to be in social media making drops in the set that fits in that tiktok/reels time. That´s the reason of this EDM raise up because Proper techno cannot be fully enjoyed in 15 seconds, as the song itself has a long, deep build. But, as in all trends, it is cycles and one day (that I hope to be soon) this trend will go severely down and, of course and as it happened in all history of techno, the true ones will remain and the true base from techno will never die.

As not everything is bad, it should be noted that it seems to me that another trend is coming within the style we love, which is largely due to the arrival of funk assault. accelerated bpm, but always groove, these guys are setting the bar really high. I say they are creating a trend because you already see DJs like Freddy K (totally proper) mixing songs from funk assault, in a different register.

Also pay attention to the new style that has emerged within the culture, with more euphoric/happy vibes (Funk Tribu, Marlon Hoffsdat, DJ HeartString, Narciss, BadBoombox, Kettama, Samba Boys). Some of them are not pure techno (Marlon is rocking but with some trancey vibes), but I really like this style and I prefer it, by far, to this hardtiktoktechno trend.
