I'm into melodic techno and I really appreciate there's a better "resistance" to crazy loudness in that genre, compared to many other electronic dance music genres. Melodic techno tracks are allowed to breathe more, as it's obviously part of the genre sound.
The average loudness of a collection of 46 techno tracks I've measured, mostly melodic and released within the last 5 years, is
-9,7 LUFS. Removing 5 more intense Drumcode tracks expectedly lowered the average volume slightly to
-10,0 LUFS.
I myself usually target around -11 LUFS. It gives the music room to breathe and I lose less of my dynamics work when streaming services turn the volume down less (compared to mixing louder than -11) - and when listeners subsequently compensate by raising the volume control. But psst, don't tell the guys in that other loudness thread, they'll give me hell...
