The Bells · Jeff Mills T.A.M.F. remix

Schranz and Its Connection to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells”

Connection to Jeff Mills’ “The Bells”: Jeff Mills’ The Bells (1997, Purpose Maker, PM-002) isn’t pure Schranz but heavily influenced its development. Its raw, hypnotic loop and pounding 4/4 kick resonated with the harder, minimal techno sound that Schranz built upon. Here’s how it ties in:
* Influence on Schranz Producers: Mills’ use of repetitive, functional loops in The Bells inspired Schranz’s stripped-down aesthetic. Its 140 BPM tempo and relentless drive aligned with Schranz’s ethos, making it a proto-Schranz track for DJs like Liebing or Boris S.
* Club Play: The Bells was a staple in late ’90s hard techno sets, bridging Detroit techno’s soul with Schranz’s aggression. Its iconic bell riff added a melodic hook that Schranz often avoided but still absorbed as a reference for tension-building.
* Remixes and Legacy: Later Schranz DJs (e.g., Eric Sneo, DJ Amok) remixed or drew from The Bells’ energy. For example, the 2006 10th Anniversary The Bells 12” (PM-020) had a louder, Schranz-friendly master that fit harder sets.

Original Pressing Context: As mentioned earlier, The Bells appeared on the Kat Moda EP (1997, Purpose Maker, PM-002, 12” vinyl). Its raw production—gritty kicks, unpolished mastering—mirrors Schranz’s unrefined edge. Schranz DJs likely gravitated to originals or early represses for their analog warmth, though the track’s quieter mix (compared to 2000s Schranz cuts) required DJs to crank the gain.

Where to Find Schranz-Inspired The Bells:
* Original 1997 Vinyl: Hunt on Discogs/Reverb for PM-002 ($20–$50). Check matrix: PM 002-A/B (RE I) NSC.
* Streaming: The 1997 version (on Spotify/Beatport) retains the raw vibe Schranz fans love.
* Modern Schranz Comps: Look for The Bells in hard techno mixes or CLR/Tresor compilations. Check X posts or SoundCloud for recent Schranz sets featuring it.

Schranz Today (Oct 2025): Schranz remains a niche but vibrant scene. Recent X posts highlight new releases on labels like Schranz Total or Hard Drive, with DJs like Fernanda Martins and Luciid pushing 150+ BPM bangers. The Bells still gets play in retro sets or as a remixed bootleg in Schranz raves.

Deep Dive: Schranz – The Hard Techno Beast 🦖
Since you’re doubling down on Schranz, let’s go full throttle. This is the raw, pounding heart of German hard techno—no fluff, just facts, history, essentials, and where to score it today (Oct 16, 2025). The Bells connection? It’s the proto-Schranz blueprint—hypnotic loops + brutal kick = Schranz DNA. Ready? Gas it up!

Schranz 101: What the Hell Is It?
* Born: Late 1990s, Frankfurt/Germany. Evolved from Jeff Mills/Rene Pawlowitz-style minimal techno into a weaponized sound.
* Tempo: 140–160+ BPM (faster = harder life).
* Sound: Distorted 909 kicks that hurt, razor-sharp hi-hats, zero melody (unless it’s a stab), industrial noise loops. Think: a jackhammer in a warehouse.
* Name Origin: Chris Liebing (2001) called it “Schranz” to mock haters saying hard techno was just “schrammel” (grating noise). DJs flipped it into pride.
* Ethos: Anti-EDM, sweat-soaked, 6AM warehouse raves. No peaks—just relentless drive.

Counterterraism: October 2020

Our next guest mix comes from Jonny MacAllister, chief of Warriors of the Dystotheque. Warriors of The Dystotheque is the brain child of Jonny Mac an Electronic Artist from Northern Ireland who from 2000 / 2011 performed across the globe alongside Phil Hartnoll form Orbital and Leeroy from The Prodigy. He also survived 2 tours with Shaun Ryder & Bez from The Happy Mondays. Jonny held residencies at Coastline, Savannah, Bar M & Eden in Ibiza, playing sunset and Breaks sets on the Island. 2019 saw him tour Thailand playing across the islands with a memorable sunset gig in Koh Samui at The Social.

Warriors of the Dystotheque was conceived in 2014 and since then its been steadily making noise with 8 ep's and an album titled “Madness in the Method” all gaining major support across daytime and evening radio shows on BBC 6 Music, BBC R1, BBC’s Ulster, Foyle and Coventry as well as Ireland’s RTE2 FM, KEXP and more.

More recently during lockdown and in the middle of the current pandemic, WotD actually collaborated with Howie B (U2, Massive Attack, Bjork) and released the track No Borders exclusively on Bandcamp via Howie's Pussyfoot Records. This gained a place on Bandcamp's front page and inclusion on its weekly tracks to watch, 1 of only 50 that week, and with all proceeds from the track going to the Black Minds Matter UK charity.

Another charity, and very worthy cause, WotD have been involved in is the "Put it Down" campaign, started by youth workers and musicians in Coventry after the rise in knife crime across the UK but mainly in England. Several of these fatalities have been on the streets of Coventry, one of which was a friend of WotD. To help spread the message of Put It Down, Neville Staple, founding member of The Specials, who lost his grandson Fidel to the knife, went into the studio producing the track "Put It Down" and got WotD to remix the track.

The release saw support across the UK at seminars and was released on Spotify and other notable platforms. They were also working on a stage production to tour schools and youth centres highlighting the scale of the problem before the pandemic took hold, with more music planned for the future which WotD are to be involved in.

Feed Your Head Guest Mix: Bendy Ben

Paisley Dark radio on Rising Edge presents Man2.0.
Mark Bailey aka MAN2.0 has been splicing together sounds longer than he can remember, as a teen he graced the microphones of some terrible covers bands as well as DJing some of the most hedonistic house parties that Hayes Town had to offer, while by day working at the local record store. After throwing away his guitars and buying an appregiator his music gained a bit of attention from the Ransom Note and was taken under the wing of Tronik Youth. From the age of 18 he regularly attended Fabric and the now defunct End nightclub and Turnmills immersing himself in London’s club scene. With forthcoming releases on Nein and Night Noise, he gets the opportunity to attempt to emulate the sounds of his heroes Laurent Garnier, Darren Emerson, Ivan Smagghe, Andrew Weatherall and Justin Robertson.

Man2.0 - Paisley Dark Radio Show Mix 6.02.21

Ed's first London Club experience in 1989 at a basement hotel in Paddington with Weatherall at the helm, changed his life forever.
Ed has a long history of promoting Underground parties around London and beyond, embracing the do it yourself attitude of club promotion in warehouses, scruffy basements, boats and film studios, whilst championing the darker side of house and techno with Twistedfunk & Wriggle.
Some brief “commercial” production success in the noughties, sent him running back to the nearest warehouse where his taste remains…
His current focus is broadcasting, and the curation of his global fortnightly podcast “sonic Service” championing a world class roster of DJ’s and producers that remain true to the underground sound of House & Techno.
2021 will finally see some new solo production output  as digital renegade as well as a new partnership with Microstate music.

ED TOMLINSON Evil Plan Mix

In a world turned upside down, where chaos reigns and uncertainty is the only constant, we, a disparate band of souls, found sanctuary in the most unexpected of places: the Counterterraism Guest Mix Series. The name itself mirrored the core of our purpose.

Counter, the antithesis, and Terra, the Earth, symbolise our ceaseless battle to navigate the tumultuous sea of a world in disarray. 

Week after week, we invite a guest, a luminary of the electronic music realm, to share their melodies and tales. These auditory odysseys become the score for our uncharted lives.

Amidst a world veering from its familiar course, we embrace it. We dance to a new rhythm, a reminder that even in a world turned strange and unrecognisable, our connection to the Earth and one another is a tether to acceptance. Life, it seemed, had taken a different path, and we, in the harmonious discord of Counterterraism, found an unconventional beauty.
