I don't know, I think most techno producers these days would probably be a little offended if you tried to stick them in a sub-genre. I mean, sure, you have some guys making Minimal and some making Dub or what have you, but they're all still making techno.

yeah, the 3 albums tagged under "techno" on my pc from said list are the Hedgehog Heaven and Project Chaos albums, ie. remixes of the themes from the Sonic games. I honestly didn't know what else to tag them


"tough guy" is a legitimate subgenre of hardcore, ethan. see bands such as Black My Heart, Fatality, Hatebreed, et al. for reference
