I see here and there some ppl saying this. What the hell is that? If it is a style, what are the specifics that define this style that separates it from others so greatly that deserves its own name(which I doubt)?

Hi friend. Hi-tek, High-tech, Hi-tec, etc... is usually a name to call a particular style of psytrance.
It sounds very similar to full on but with less cheesy, uplifting anthem themes, instead it exploits the use of harsh synth lines, dramatic drum fills and a very intense feel achieved through ostinato leads that usually are heavily modulated in terms of pitch, filter and waveshape.
Some say Absolum is the father of this subgenre, this being said you can count some similar artist on the High-tech train... CPU, Painkiller, Bliss and others under the Nuttek seal, there are also many others from SouthAfrica and Portugal that make very good Hi Tek, also called (or similar to) Twilight Psy: Broken Toy, Punchline, Lost & found, Orca, Deliriant, Chemogen, Toxical, Alienn, Cybernetix, Zion Linguist, etc...
It can be pretty obscure but contrary to formal darkpsy most Hi Tek remains on the 142 - 149 bpm range, it features an advance use of synthesizers, sequencing and sound processing... that's where the boundaries of this genre seem to fade... as some may consider artist like Cromatone, Brainiac, Materia, Earthling, Tron, etc also Hi Tek even if the sound palette is distant from the Absolum sound, still it resembles high technology usage and provides the listener with a very complex soundscape avoiding uplifting melodies and soft scenarios but remaining powerful and solid.
IMHO Great for past midnight sets. Hope you find this useful.
PS. Since this is very subjective I recommend you do your own research and remember genres are just words that people give the music so they can organize it.

Just call whatever you're making Hi-Tek and if no one disagrees, then it's Hi-Tek.

There's 3 things that turn me off with this kind of music...the same unison/detuned supersaw lead, the endless cheesy risers and the kick rolls...I don;t understand why one would need high technology to make the same unison saw lead, which I find very cheesy...but horses for courses and all that...personally I can't stand this music.

The great amount of artist form S.A,Portugal and the rest of the genre, all sound the same, it's really becoming boring....same as psy prog....golden rays ftw....
