Introduction: The birth of Techno
Techno music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States in the 1980s. It is characterized by its repetitive beat, synthesized melodies, and use of futuristic sounds. Techno has evolved and branched out into many subgenres, including acid techno, minimal techno, and dub techno.

He is known for his innovative approach to DJing and live performances, incorporating cutting-edge technology and pushing the boundaries of what is possible with electronic music.
