Industrial techno is a subgenre of techno and industrial dance music that originated in the 1990s.[1] Characteristically, it incorporates influences from the bleak, noisy sound and aesthetics of early industrial music acts, particularly Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle.[2][1] American industrial music label Wax Trax! also had a profound influence over the genre's development.[3]
Some of the earliest musical projects in the genre include the band Final Cut, formed by Jeff Mills and Anthony Srock in the late 1980s.[4][5] Their 1989 debut industrial-techno album[6]Deep into the Cut was described by The Wire as "a significant moment in the convergence of the classic industrial aesthetic and the emerging sound of Detroit techno".[4]
The genre has seen a resurgence in the 2010s,[1][2] spearheaded by acts such as Adam X, Orphx, and Ancient Methods, and others later like Blawan and Karenn. Other artists associated with industrial techno include Cut Hands,[1] Helena Hauff,[7] Forward Strategy Group,[1] Surgeon,[2] Michael Forshaw,[8] Jeff Mills, Regis, Dominick Fernow and Mike Banks.[9] Perc Trax record label has been credited with the revival of the genre in the UK, with artists such as Perc, Truss, Hppa and Ansome.[1] Some revival artists have subsequently been criticized for making the new music in the genre that "sounds old, that it's overly indebted to a sound invented and thoroughly exhausted in the '90s",[2] but despite this, innovation derived from the post-dubstep and garage scene have been highlighted.[2] As a result, it has gained a significant fanbase from the post-dubstep audience.[2]
