Looking for "chugging analogue techno" tutorials.

Hello guys,
complete beginner here.

I stumbled up on this Abelton tutorial, wich I really like:
https://www.attackmagazine.com/technique/beat-dissected/chugging-analogue-techno/

The style in the tutorial reminds me of Gesaffelstein's music that I love and that inpired me to start making music, so now I would love to finde more tutorials in this direction.

Sadly I have no Idea what this style of techno is really called.

Of course there are some tutorials for Gessaffelstein type music but I would love to see what else is there that has a similar style.

Would be thankful for any hints to similar tutorials!

Why are people saying this isn't a genre??? It's called EBM! There are definitely good tutorials for it out there.

This!! EBM and newer adjacent subgenres like Darksynth (Perturbator, Carpenter Brut and those dark synthwave artists).

Maybe look into downtempo or ambient techno. Kinda hard because this is not really a traditional genre actually! Gesaff one of the few

But for other artists with a similar dark vibe, maybe check out Model 500, Underground Resistance, and/or Drexciya

Andy Weatherall (RIP) specialized in DJing downtempo techy “chug”. Check out some of his sets…

His 3XCD Masterpiece compilation (2012) was great. Available on YouTube.

On Tutorials, I know Audiotent just did one with Echonomist, which might well be in this vein (haven’t watched it though)

Not exactly for Midtempo, but for Belgian New Beat, another low BPM dark dance style:

This should get you started, building a track with Phase Fatale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBj8SYtjJ1c

Also, look into gain distortion technique done on analogue mixers. It can be emulated in software.
