| | Ghetto Tech |
 | | GTI Recordings, one of the foremost ghetto tech labels, describes the ghetto tech sound as a combination of "elements from various musical styles such as electro, [Chicago] ghetto-style house, rap music and drum n'bass." Indeed, ghetto tech's simple four-to-the-floor, snare-and-kick-heavy beats are reminiscent of the first rap tracks of the 80s. |
 | | The DJs themselves admit that their lyrics are born out of a desire to one-up each other in the studio; they want to see how gross and shocking they can get. |
 | | According to Platform Network's article The Ghetto Tech Sound of Detroit, one of DJ Godfather's first ghetto tech gigs had half the audience standing still, offended by the lyrics, and the other half dancing furiously. |
