Technoid

Technoid is an electronic music subgenre that takes its inspiration from IDM, experimental techno and noise music. The end result is usually diverse IDM-influenced rhythms with varying levels of noise and industrial influence. Artists will often use non-conventional sounds within their music, such as field recordings of natural phenomena, dated 8-bit electronic equipment, or samples from artists of a wildly different genre. It is not uncommon for two albums by the same artist to have drastically different sounds and structures, resulting in a number of acts that have evolved a great distance from where they were only years ago. German label Hymen Records is largely responsible for the term and the style.

Technoid artists include Gridlock, Black Lung, Somatic Responses, Xingu Hill and DevNull Many of these artists are backroom or unsigned, however quite a few feature on Hymen, Mirex, <UNIT> and AntZen record labels.
