Techno

Techno is a genre of electronic dance music (EDM) characterized by a repetitive, 4/4 "four-on-the-floor" beat, typically ranging from 120 to 150 beats per minute (BPM). Originating in Detroit during the mid-1980s, it merges futuristic, industrial sounds with soulful, synthetic melodies, heavily featuring drum machines like the Roland TR-808 and 909. It is designed for continuous DJ sets, creating an immersive, often dark, and hypnotic, rhythmic experience.
