Need Dance/Techno Music for your Project?
There are lots of variations within Dance and Techno music, but they all share one common goal. These genres and sub-genres are about making people feel the music physically rather than emotionally.
It's about the energy it brings and the effect that energy has on people.
That's not to say dance music or Techno can't have emotional content; it's just not the main objective.
Dance Music Culture
Dance music culture is one of the most fascinating movements in the history of music.
Not because it's more creative or more musical, but because it's all about living in the moment.
If we look at the golden age of Jazz, people would travel the country to hear Charlie Parker play one song; if he turned up.
There were experiences and a lifestyle that went along with the Jazz scene, but ultimately, it was all about the music.
With dance/techno, it's almost in reverse, and it's all about the experiences.
What we mean by that is that people went to see Charlie Parker to listen to every note, but people go to dance music festivals for the experience.
It's not to analyze the music; it's about moving to the music in a way that makes you feel free.
The best way to sum up the connection that people make to dance music is that it's about living in the moment.
It could be in the middle of a field at a festival or on the dancefloor at a party; wherever it is, great dance music should make you feel like you can truly let go and be yourself.
To get a better insight into the world of dance music culture, it might be a good idea to watch some of the best movies about dance music. In turn, that might also inspire you to use dance/techno music in your project.
Adrenaline
One of the reasons that Dance/Techno music works well with film is that it gets the adrenaline pumping.
As we have said already, it's about living in the moment, as is any energetic movie scene is about.
So if you have a high-energy scene, dance music can be a great fit.
You can find excellent tracks in our royalty-free music library, and make sure it's a great fit with our video preview tool.
Another fantastic thing about using dance music in film is that it's very versatile. A high-energy scene could mean lots of different things, from a clubbing scene to a car chase or a shootout.
We often talk about the audience connecting to the scene, and if you have the right dance music with the right content, your audience will live it with you.
Repetitive and Minimalistic
While we believe the essence of dance music is connecting to it physically, which means it's more about rhythm than melody, we should be clear that there are some genuinely great melodies in dance music.
On common feature of dance music is that it gets away with being repetitive without losing interest more than most genres.
That repetitiveness is a godsend for extended scenes that keep the audience hanging on every movement.
Dance/Techno music can be very busy and in your face, but it doesn't have to be.
Minimal Techno was made popular in Berlin, Germany, in the late 1990s.
It's an extremely stripped-down sub-genre, but it still makes the same physical connection with the listeners.
Minimal Techno can be an ideal way to transition from a calm scene into something more energetic.
