Techno music is a
form of electronic music that is designed for dancing.
Techno music is influenced by electro, new wave, funk
and futuristic music. This style of music became popular
in the Detroit area in the mid 1980s. The term techno
was commonly used in the late 1980s. Techno has
continued to become an increasingly popular type of
music over the years. Techno music features studio
effects, synthetic sounds and percussive sounds. Techno
music is often vocal-free. This style of music is often
repetitive. Techno is usually played for people to dance
along with it.
The birth of techno is often credited to the Belleville
Three. Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson,
high school friends, spent their time creating music in
their basement. Their music was soon found to be playing
in clubs around the Detroit area. The Belleville Three
were inspired by the Midnight Funk Association, a late
night radio program. The program featured various
electronic music by artists such as Giorgio Moroder and
Tangerine Dream. The Belleville Three began practicing
and recording their music. Their love for this music
helped other musicians become interested in techno.
Another reason why techno music became increasingly
popular was the fact that synthesizers and sequencers
became more affordable. These machines are used to
create techno music. In the past, these machines were
expensive and not as easy to come by. As these machines
became more affordable, it allowed more people the
ability to experiment with techno music. Because of the
heavy interests, bars and nightclubs began playing
techno music.
In the 1990s, techno music began to evolve. Many
different variations of techno were created. This
included acid, jungle and hardcore, just to name a few.
These variations continue to evolve over the years.
Since the 1990s. techno music has been associated with
raves. A rave is a gathering in which techno fans get
together to dance and listen to various forms of techno
music. This allows fans to experience different techno
mixes together. To this day, many people think of raves,
when they hear the word techno.
