The Birmingham sound is a subgenre of techno that emerged in Birmingham, England in the early 1990s.^[1] It is most commonly associated with the city's House of God club night,^[2] the Downwards Records label,^[3] and the local DJs and producers Regis, Surgeon and Female.^[4] It is characterised by a hard, fast and uncompromising style^[1] that strips the music of the bassline funk that characterised the techno of Detroit and Berlin,^[5] leaving only "huge slabs of unrelentingly unchanging minimalism".^[6]

The Birmingham sound marked a turning point in the development of techno and its influence can be heard throughout the Berlin techno of the Berghain and Ostgut Ton.^[6] It also formed the starting point for Regis and Female's later Sandwell District project.^[7]
