What is Techno?

Techno is a form of electronic dance music that emerged in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States during the mid-to-late 1980s. The first recorded use of the word techno, in reference to a genre of music, was in 1988. Many styles of techno now exist, but Detroit techno is seen as the foundation upon which a number of subgenres have been built.

The structure of techno music is typically based around 4/4 time signatures with a tempo of 120 to 150 beats per minute. This tempo range is often subdivided into faster subgenres such as trance and hard trance. Techno is generally very minimalistic in nature, with repetitive patterns and often only basic melody and percussion.
