Belgian Techno is an early form of rave music and one of the earliest forms of hardcore techno, emerging in Belgium in the early 1990s. It is heavily influenced by EBM, utilizing menacing synthesizer pads and orchestral stabs.

In Japan, a derivative form known as hyper techno, which blended the genre with influence from eurobeat, would emerge from the scene surrounding Shibaura-based discotheque Juliana’s Tokyo.

Examples:

• “James Brown is Dead” – LA Style
• “Dominator” – Human Resource
• “Techno Syndrome (Mortal Kombat)” – The Immortals
• “Conflict” – Siromaru + Cranky
