What is Techno?

These early pioneers created a unique sound that would eventually come to be known as techno.
What is the difference between Techno and other genres?
Techno is a form of electronic dance music that emerged in the mid-to-late 1980s. The first techno productions were characterized by a strong, repetitive 4/4 beat, often with protofunk or electro influences. Although techno’s roots are in Detroit, many producers have moved to Berlin since the early 1990s to take advantage of the city’s more open atmosphere.
