So, a little more about new releases. Recently a techno single was released by the artist Seelenkodex.
The release is called “Train”. Basically, when I listened to this track, I had associations with how I ride the train to work. The track has a specific techno sound. Although the drum part is classic, I would say. The sound is technical, a little acidic. I want to note. The track is quite long, it does not have much dynamics, this adds its own atmosphere. I will say this, it seems to be nothing new, but it has meaning.Single:

I often have 4 minute tracks, but often there are shorter ones. I don’t know how it happens, maybe because of the specific genre.

Nothing wrong with short tracks. But tracks that are for the floor and are to put you into some state of trance. Need more than todays short attention span. Techno & Psytrance under 6 minutes is what i consider lazy.

ChatGPT agree 😀
The typical length of a techno track is around 5 to 10 minutes. However, this can vary depending on the purpose of the track:
Club/Extended Mixes: Tracks meant for DJs or club settings often run longer, typically 6 to 10 minutes, to allow for seamless mixing and gradual build-ups.
Radio Edits: Shorter versions intended for radio play or casual listening usually range from 3 to 5 minutes.
Live Sets/Improvised Tracks: In live techno performances, tracks can be even longer and evolve dynamically, sometimes lasting 10 minutes or more.
The extended lengths and repetitive nature of techno tracks help maintain the hypnotic and immersive energy on the dancefloor.

Nice track and review. I would actually say 4:38 minutes is minimum for a Track, I would never release something shorter on My Techno Label. It’s not radio music 🙂
