"With its intelligent appeal and reduced, technoid look, it perfectly embodies our design philosophy of sensual purity and our pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency," said Gorden Wagener, head of design for Daimler AG in a press release.

One recent memorable set was in a weird metal room in an old warehouse that kinda felt like a meat locker on a bill that featured technoid trippers, freaked-out rappers, and several straight up noise sets.

As you might expect, it goes some places; it starts with some low-key ambience, before blooming into a set of dancefloor rippers and technoid trippers, taking detours through shimmery disco, cowbell exercises, and even some lost demos from her own archives.

It's pretty all over the place—vaulting from hallucinatory sound poetry (AGF's "QI'RA") to noise tracks made from television preachers (Bob Bellerue's "Full Armor of God") to technoid mutations (Gaul Plus' "World Diva") to jittery drum explorations (Speaker Music's "Rhythmanalysis") and a whole lot of other universes in the course of its 40 tracks.

Grime had the spiky synth work and technoid percussion to separate it from US hip-hop, but the British rap scene—often called "road rap" or more recently branching off into drill (yes, inspired by the briefly zeitgeist-y Chicago scene of the same name)—can usually only be distinguished from its US counterparts by the accents and slang of the MCs riding the beats.

The album received generally positive reviews from critics. A 1997 review from Rolling Stone claimed the album to be "of the most fun, shamelessly genrehopping dance albums of the year". AllMusic rated it four stars out of five, recommending the album to "those who can't get enough of the popular technoid-sampled alternative dance style of the late '90s".

Power noise (also known as rhythmic noise, technoid, and occasionally as distorted beat music) is a form of industrial music and a fusion of noise music and various styles of electronic dance music. It should not be confused with "power electronics", which is not influenced by electronic dance music and is closer to harsh noise.Emily Benjamin, "Whitehouse Asceticists Susan Lawly". The Johns Hopkins News-Letter.

Power noise tracks are typically structured and danceable, but are occasionally abstract. This genre is showcased at the annual Maschinenfest festival in Krefeld, Germany, as well as at Infest in Bradford, UK. Other artists include Imminent Starvation, Axiome, Converter, and Terrorfakt. The German labels Ant-Zen and Hands Productions specialize in the style. Technoid grew out of the scene, taking inspiration from IDM, experimental techno and noise music.

Usually, there are no restrictions on the type of material performed other than it must be the competitor's original creation. This aids in providing a distinction from DJ battles, wherein competitors play music created by others. Musical genres vary widely, with tendencies towards intelligent dance music, glitch, experimental electronica, mashups, house and technoid. Various local and national laptop battles have garnered the attention of electronic music and sound design production sponsors, such as Ableton, Mackie, and Native Instruments.

Thus she returns to her technoid underground roots and stays true to her dancefloor principles after about three decades. In 2019 Ellen Allien launched her UFO Inc. label with an EP that features the epic »UFO« which has been on heavy rotation in her DJ sets all summer long. Between »UFO« and the hard-hitting Berlin acid belter »Körpermaschine« on the flipside, the »UFO« EP perfectly captures the energetic hardware sound of Allien’s new imprint, which will be dedicated to a rough and raw approach to techno. Ellen Allien holds residencies in the clubs Nitsa, Barcelona and Circoloco at DC10, Ibiza and is a regular in clubs such as Madrid’s Mondo.

He was chosen to become one of the first officers of a newly created arm of the SCPD, one which uses robotic assistants, known as Technoids, to give them an edge over the criminals. Together with his robot Blader and fellow Technopolice members Kosuga (Gora) (accompanied by the super strong Technoid Vigorus) and Eleanor (with the computer hacking female robot Scanny) Kyosuke take on the well equipped criminals that plague the city, including a runaway, prototype military tank. Of the staff that worked on the aborted TV show two are most notable. The first is Joe Hisaishi, who provides the synth-jazz score and is well known in the west for having created the score for nearly all Hayao Miyazaki movies including Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa and Takeshi Kitano's (Sonatine, Hana-bi, Brother).
