Introduction
Techno music is a type of electronic dance music that originated in Detroit, Michigan in the United States during the mid-to-late 1980s. The first techno tracks were produced by Jay Denko and Kevin Saunderson, who later founded the record label KMS Records. The term “techno” refers to the use of technology in the production of the music, as well as the technical aspects of the music itself.
The earliest techno tracks were mostly instrumental, with simple basslines and drum machine beats. These tracks were influenced by Kraftwerk, Yellow Magic Orchestra, and Giorgio Moroder. As the genre developed, female vocalists were increasingly featured on tracks, and the music became more melodic and complex. By the early 1990s, techno had become one of the most popular genres of electronic dance music.
Today, techno is still one of the most popular genres of electronic dance music, with a global following. Techno tracks are often played at nightclubs, raves, and festivals around the world.
