Techno EQ Profile Overview
Core EQ principles for Techno mastering. Platform-specific adjustments are in each guide below.
Kick dominance: The techno kick is everything. Boost 60–80 Hz for body and 2–4 kHz for the click/attack. High-pass at 25 Hz to remove sub-rumble.
Dark sub-bass: Deep, sustained 30–50 Hz sub-bass defines dark techno. Mono everything below 80 Hz for club PA compatibility.
Synth aggression: Cut 300–500 Hz from pads and leads to reduce boxiness. Boost upper-mids at 3–6 kHz for the dark Berlin-style presence.
Stereo density: Wide, dense stereo field in the high frequencies (500 Hz+). Keep the sub-bass and kick strictly mono.

Techno Mastering FAQ
What LUFS for techno on Spotify?
Target -14 LUFS integrated. Techno can push aggressively — a 4–8 LU dynamic range at -14 LUFS delivers maximum impact without normalization penalty.
How do I keep the techno kick punching through heavy limiting?
Boost 2–4 kHz on the kick for the click/attack before the limiter. Use a transient shaper after limiting to restore the attack if it's been softened. The kick must cut through at any playback volume — test at low levels where the kick should still be the most defined element.
How does techno translate from headphones to club PA on Spotify?
Techno mastered for streaming should have mono sub-bass (below 80 Hz) for club PA compatibility. The kick body at 60–80 Hz and the synth density at 500 Hz+ define the club experience. Check mono compatibility — any phase issues in the low-end will collapse on a club system.
