History
Techno started out in Detroit around the mid 80’s and is still around today. At the time, techno was strictly electric music. DJ’s Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkings and Derrick May pioneered techno music. ... In the United States, techno was strictly underground, but in the UK, it became main stream in the late 80’s. In the early 90’s, techno began to break into a number of subgenres, including hardcore, ambient, and Jungle techno.
Characteristics
Techno is an electronic evolution of House. Techno uses the 4/4 beat structure and eight bar repeating structure of House, to build predominantly percussive tracks that use purely electronic sounds.
