power noise (also known as rhythmic noise) takes its inspiration from some of the more structured and distorted early industrial acts, such as esplendor geométrico. the belgian group dive also anticipated the style in the early '90s. power noise groups meld noise music with various forms of electronic dance music. the term "power noise" was coined by raoul roucka of noisex in 1997, with the track "united (power noise movement)". typically, power noise is based upon a distorted kick drum from a drum machine such as a roland tr-909, uses militaristic 4/4 beats, and is usually instrumental. sometimes a melodic component is added, but this is almost always secondary to the rhythm. power noise tracks are typically structured and danceable, but are occasionally abstract. this genre is showcased at the annual maschinenfest festival in krefeld, germany, as well as at infest in bradford, uk. other artists include imminent starvation, axiome, converter, and terrorfakt. the german labels ant-zen and hands productions specialize in the style. "technoid" grew out of the scene, taking inspiration from idm, experimental techno and noise music. german label hymen records is responsible for the term and the style. artists include gridlock, black lung, revolution state, and xingu hill.
