Techno Guide

What is techno?

Techno is a genre of electronic music that has a signature four-on-the-floor beat usually between 120 to 150 beats per minute (BPM). While there may be variations in the sub-genres that have emerged since the birth of Techno, the use of drum machines such as the Roland TR-808 or the TR-909 along with synthesizers and sequencers usually give it its distinct sound.
