Well, I recently came out and admitted I know nothing about the current state of genres and sub-genres, but at one time I would have called a track like this one "techno". Feel free to correct me...
Starts semi-beatless with sort of an ambient/atmospheric feel and builds.

Not A Techno Track - Ambient? Electro? or What?

Wow!
I for one certainly would say drop the 'techno'-bit in the title as it might put people on the wrong track and maybe less listeners.
Still listening to it now a few times, it would in a sense be still techno as I hear influences or Stacey Pullen and Carl Craig, where that essential 'party'-techno beat/bass-drive is missing, but certainly is not
Perhaps as a former house-DJ this brings back memories, but I just must say that arrangement wise/tension wise I very much like the build up in this. It certainly has an ambient flavour, but still not overly as long pads are a missing item here as well.
Erm, before I get on with my usual babbling I best say I very much enjoyed this listen and wouldn't mind at one point in time take a go at remixing this. Then again I wish I could make that promise to do it soon, but there's just too many projects going on.
Seeeeeee, I'm babbling again
errrrrr.... great track

Thanks mystahr! I've taken your advice and changed the subject. Let me know if you're interested in a remix. Cheers!

Very nice and punchy sort of sound. I love the overall tone of it. I gotta say it really reminds me of a track off the old Psychic TV album "the Infinite Beat"...the beat and bass line seem almost identical. They used to call it "acid-house" back then....but I think that term came to mean something else. I too am not familiar with current genres.

cool tune, not really techno at all.
hangs together really well, very minimal at first and then gets quite a funky feel.
the subtle acid style lines from around 4:30 are very cool.

Thanks for listening everyone, I really appreciate the feedback!
Not any closer to understanding genres unfortunately, but it seems I have some company anyways.

Well, I'd call it ambient electronica. It doesn't really fit current genre classifications... techno, house, etc. People might stick it in electro because of the lack of a four-on-the-floor beat, but it's not really electro. In summary, genre classifications... who needs 'em!

if you expect ambience, its Great! If you expect something to cheer you up, its not too good... *g*
