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.

The Distance Between - (Real Time Units)

Thunder’s rising 
Anger’s awakes in the desperate land of Chaos and blood 
When fairies are too tired to bloom again 
To fly again 
From mist and dew-kissed 
The spiny thistle hatches from his own ashes to fight again injustice and power abuse 
The Thistle rises one more time to stand up to those who ruins the world for they own wealth while destroying billions of lives 

Awakes the doomed 

Chase the most powerful 

Eat them 

Dance for our freedom 

Defy the hierarchy 
 
Be one with the sounds of Love and Revolt 

Received the gentle kiss of the fairy who falls hundred times 

Who dies in repeat in the vicious circle of altruism 

Let this entity take your hand 

And let her teach you how to dance with wings and swords 


“Hey, i’m Azar a little producer/dj from lille.
My vision of electronic music is more shaped as a big sculpture from ashes, dust, spine, flowers, wings, chains and iron,
I truly think that music is another form of visual and sound poetry born from our entrails. 
For me music is a way to exorcise these emotions and also a powerful way to share with others my inner worlds fulfill of dreams but also a deep anger towards all what’s happened in our societies and towards all form of authorities who practice a constant and increasingly violent abuse of power or even genocidal.
I sharpen my music and set like a Vorpal dagger with a certain softness and strength I tap into the creations of powerful kicks filled with anger but also with love and hope for our future.

For this track especially, it was inspired by a Gerudo character from The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild named Urbosa, a strong woman that I admire a lot because of her courage.
She fought until death to protect her people but also to help Zelda who had to seal the Calamity corrupted by his desire to destroy Hyrule, even his own people, the Gerudos.
She's also considered as the adoptive mother of Zelda after the death of her biological mother. 
She's a complex character with a lot of responsibility to carry on her shoulder has the leader figure and protector of the Gerudos but despite all the things that's she had to carry she never act as an authoritarian leader but acted like the Guardian of her family in which everyone are equal”
