A genre of music originating from the
strip clubs of
Detroit. Also known as just
Booty or Tech, Ghetto Tech is mix of
Electro,
Detroit Techno,
Miami Bass,
Hip Hop,
House and
Jungle with
pornographic, and often
offensive lyrics and samples. Its Juvenile,
vulgar, and for those not
wound too tightly its
serious fun.
The tempo is fast, typically between 155 and 170
bpm. In order to incorporate
Jungle,
Techno,
House, and
Hip Hop records into their mixes, Ghetto tech
DJs usually modify the their
turntables to allow the
pitch to be increased drastically.
"It combines everything I like about music. It’s about sex, and I like sex. (Ghetto tech) can be every kind of music. It’s just that we play it at between 155-165 beats per minute, crazy DMC-style, rocking doubles of everything. The best description I’ve heard of it so far is from Joe Han, the Detroit rep for Sony Music. He said ‘Take a little bit of techno, a little bit of house and a little bit of drum & bass. Then take that shit to the hood and pour a 40-ounce onto it. That’s ghetto tech.’"
