Tech Trance incorporates traditional elements of Techno, with its repetitive nature and strong 4/4 beat, while deriving the melodic elements from Trance. Tech Trance compositions tend to have a tempo of around 135-150 BPM. Tech Trance tends to utilize a more driving sound while commonly using distortion as an effect on the melodies. Also, the melody containing strings and pads will begin once the beat has completely stopped, playing by itself much like a Trance breakdown.
