Do you love techno?
Chances are you would agree that electronic music makes people feel pretty damn good. Techno lovers get an incontestable reason to justify their love for that unabating, minimalist four-on-the-floor beat.
So what’s that special element in techno that makes it different from the other genres?
Physically – It turns out the human body likes the repetitive thud, thud, thud that echoes our heartbeat. Each beat sends positive energy that reverberates both physically and mentally through the mind and soul, leaving no space for stress, doubt, and all that bad stuff.

The simplicity of the techno sound also simplifies one’s thinking. Its characteristic repetitiveness gives it an almost hypnotic, spiritual property that paradoxically helps one transcend the banality of life. Meanwhile, the repetition of techno resonates with the idea of persistence that more often than not sparks motivation.
Still not convinced? Let’s talk about science. Studies have also shown that non-vocal, instrumental music is positively correlated with better cognitive function.

When you hear techno, you dance. You feel. You enjoy the togetherness with everyone blissfully dancing around you. As research suggested, regardless of personal differences, individuals exhibited synchronization in several brain areas when listening to the same music.
This is why at that moment, strangers are no longer strangers because music has that powerful ability to unite.
Besides showing immensely positive effects on people’s mental health, music has also shown to be a great “healer” for physical problems. According to various studies, music helps people deal with pain, poor sleep, and reduced heart rate, breathing rate, and circulation.
Music has also shown to be more effective in lowering levels of cortisol compared to anti-anxiety medications.
Additionally, it can also:
- Improve endurance during exercise and speed up recovery after workouts.
- Help one cut calories when listening to slow music in low light, specifically.
- Improve the function of blood vessels.
So go ahead and put on some music and dance your stress away. https://soundcloud.com/mikeyjsa/sets/techno-smash
