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.
One of the best techno artists of all time is Richie Hawtin, also known as Plastikman. Hawtin is a Canadian DJ, producer, and label owner who has been instrumental in the development of techno music. 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.
