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.
What better way than to start the new year with my partner in crime and bestie, Thomas Wonderland. Now I have to admit when it comes to techno we don't always see eye to eye but when we do it's boom. Thomas Wonderland takes it on to another level. As the Techno Series is all about the dj's interpretation I took a step back and left him to his own and I am sure you will be pretty impressed. Tech techno backbeats with dark overtones which is kinda his signature sound is how I would describe this podcast.
"Techno is dark, deep, melodic but especially raw. It has to be rolling, it has to come from the ground and goes to your ears, straight into your heart, then spread everywhere into your body.
It must include some, mechanical, industrial sound!"
