from wiki

Techno is a form of electronic dance music that became prominent in Detroit, Michigan during the mid-1980s with influences from Chicago house, electro, New Wave, funk and futuristic fiction themes that were prevalent and relative to modern culture during the end of the Cold War in industrial America at that time. Following the initial success of Detroit techno as a musical culture ? at the very least on a regional level ? an expanded and related subset of genres in the 1990s emerged globally.


techno isn't played at all on the west coast anymore. well, unless frankie knuckles comes around, which he occasionally does.

i am not pointing this out to poke at you, i always try to educate people when possible on electronic music.

The evolution of house music in the UK in the mid 1990s led to the term, as previously coined by the Paradise Garage DJs, being applied to a new form of music also known as speed garage. In the late nineties the term UK garage was settled upon by the scene. This style is now frequently combined with other forms of music like hip hop, rap and R&B, all broadly filed under the description urban music. The correct pronunciation of UK garage is IPA: [ˈɡærɪdʒ] (rather than the American pronunciation [ɡɚˈrɑ:ʒ]), as this is the most common pronunciation of the word in the British Isles.

Artists like DJ Luck and MC Neat, Oxide and Neutrino, So Solid Crew , Ms. Dynamite, Lisa Maffia, The Artful Dodger and numerous others have made garage music mainstream in the UK, whilst Dizzee Rascal's and Wiley's arrival raised the profile of grime, an offshoot of garage. However on the East London underground scene garage is distinctly different, it has a much more raw sound, placing a greater emphasis on electronic beats and rhythms.

techno is still a HUGE scene, but not in the clubs, it is very underground....the largest scenes are in detroit and chicago, and on up through canada...but there is pretty much a techno scene in every major city for sure
