Makina is an electronic music genre originating in Spain, similar in sound to UK Hardcore but with elements of bouncy techno and other differences.
The makina sound is usually characterized by its resonating synthesized sounding chords, and has a weaker but higher octave sounding punchier kick drum than the similar United Kingdom produced tracks. Makina is also popular in North East England, where both gabber and bouncy techno had been played for many years previously.
