Techno music

Techno is a form of electronic music that emerged in the mid-1980s and primarily refers to a particular style developed in and around Detroit and subsequently adopted by European producers. "Techno" is also a informal and misleading term often used in North America, and perhaps elsewhere, to describe all forms of electronic dance music.
