Generally, techno is defined as a form of electronic dance music that is said to have emerged in Detroit, Michigan during the mid-to-late 1980s,

"Stylistically, techno is generally repetitive instrumental music, often at times produced for use in a continuous DJ set. The central rhythmic component is most often in common time (4/4), where time is marked with a bass drum on each quarter note pulse, a backbeat played by snare or clap on the second and fourth pulses of the bar, and an open hi-hat sounding every second eighth note. The tempo tends to vary between approximately 120 to 150 beats per minute (bpm), depending on the style of techno. " (Wikipedia)

I will be honest my passion for techno is somewhat recent, being over the last two years but again what I have learnt that no matter what general definition is given to techno it is interesting to see how other genres such as house when mixed give different interpretations and explains to a degree why people tend to put techno into one bag and refer to it just as electronic dance music.

After the success of the Deep House Series I thought it was time to look at techno and get an interpretation of this through the Dj.

Heralding from Valencia, but now residing in London is my good friend Carlos aka Koseki. I first came across him thru him playing at La Divina Afterhours. The interesting interpretation I initially got from his sound was about it being minimal but actually after listening to the podcast you will find how diverse he can be when he plays. When I asked him to define techno,

"When I play I have a preference for techno and techno house. Usually the sound is dark and powerful with a twist of grooves added"
