D'N'B or Techno? That's unclear, coz d'n'b IS NOT TECHNO :)
Indeed, it's quite a bit of a misnomer.

My understanding is that the 2nd instalment of the "Techno Compo" now focuses on Drum'n'Bass, as opposed to Oldschool Underground Techno in the first one.

That said... C-64 DnB tracks usually suffer from the usual 50 Hz update rate on PAL systems.
Any ruling word on multispeed or arbitrary update rates not tied to video frames?

Multispeed was not an issue during previous edition. And, indeed, single VBL is not the greatest friend of typical DnB speeds. Hence I don't give a single (LOL) fuck and go for 150bpm. At least for one entry ;)

Just wanna say, that back in the day (beginning of the 90s), we used TECHNO as general grouping name for most electronic dance music, and back then many different styles: trance, ambient, electro, IDM, breaks, even jungle fell under that grouping. Later it changed because it grew.

Similar in a sense to how nowadays some people use the (idiotic) EDM moniker to group all styles together, whereas for me EDM is just stupid arena shitty popstuff.

If you read the event announcement page carefully, you can see that it was already mentioned, in a solution-seeking manner, that techno tends to be 4x4, unlike drum'n'bass, silently acknowledging the fact that they are indeed different. Multispeed is also explicitly allowed there, and I guess that covers "arbitrary" updates as well, knock yourself out!

The specific term "drum and bass" was really the only option in order to be able to make the pun about the third channel. Otherwise it might have been "Breakin' SIDs" or "Micro Jungle Rave Step" or "Funky Drummer Says Amen".

Discussion on the definition of genres and what exactly was the style of Juan Atkins in 1984 is of course COMPLETELY ON POINT! I mean, it really goes with the territory doesn't it?

If you need a pure genre reference, then your only option is Breakcore.

DnB IS 4/4, just syncopated ;) Unless you make it not 4x4 :D
