Safe As Milk. Nocturnal's sounds. Richie [Hawtin]'s favorites. Mayhem's Spotlight page. LOT49's sounds. Minimal techno. Origins[edit] Robert Hood describes the situation in the early 1990s as one where techno had become too "ravey", with increasing tempos leading to the emergence of gabber.
Such trends saw the demise of the soul infused techno that typified the original Detroit sound. Drum and bass. History[edit] In the late 1980s and early 1990s, a growing nightclub and overnight outdoor event culture gave birth to a new electronic music style called rave music, which, much like hip-hop, combined sampled syncopated beats or breakbeats, other samples from a wide range of different musical genres and, occasionally, samples of music, dialogue and effects from films and television programmes.
But rave music tended to feature stronger bass sounds and a faster tempo (127 to over 140) beats per minute (BPM) than that of early house music.
