		The three individuals most closely associated with the birth of Detroit techno as a genre are the "Belleville Three"; Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May.

	Techno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Techno is a form of electronic dance music that became prominent in Detroit, Michigan during the mid-1980s with influences from 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.
		The historical similarities between techno, jazz, and rock and roll, from a racial standpoint, are a point of contention among fans and musicians alike.
		Techno is also very DJ-friendly, being mainly instrumental, and produced with the intention of being incorporated into continuous DJ sets wherein different compositions are played with very long, synchronized segues.

		Techno, depending on whom one asks, has existed for approximately ten yearsit is not new music when compared with some music genres of the '90s: Lo-fi, Neo-Lounge, and Grunge, but it is music which has diversified and evolved considerably since its beginnings in the mid '80's.
		Techno usually falls in the realm of 115-160 BPM There are of course exceptions to every one of these rules, but these guidelines seem to survive the "what about" test most of the time (Hilker and Behlendorf).
		Techno is, finally, a thoroughly mediated music, from its continually recombinant musical genres and its constant (re)generation of new categories, labels, and self- definitions, to its circular processes of both resistance and acceptance.

		There’s no end-all definition of techno, but Jeff Mills, “The Wizard” (as he was once known on local radio) of Detroit techno’s Oz, comes pretty close with this blanket definition: “It’s the process of trying to describe something in the future (musically).
		Techno is something to be experienced rather than simply heard, which may come as a surprise to some.
		For years, Detroit techno fans and critics have been rehashing the story of how Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson — or the “Belleville Three” as they’re often called — turned Detroit into the epicenter of future funk.

	Detroit Techno Essay by Vanessa Castle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		In this essay, the term techno is used in reference to the electronic music genre born in Detroit in the early 1980's, a genre created by African-American youths in Detroit and popularised by white teenagers in Europe.
		Detroit techno is a product of its environment, "It's the soundtrack to the decay of a city," states Detroit producer Blake Baxter.
		The techno movement was instigated by the release of Juan Atkins' 'No UFOs' in 1985 under Model 500, a name he chose, "to be as unethnic as possible." The pioneers of this sound were three African-American youths Atkins, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May all from the suburb of Belleville.

	Night Drive: A Bluffer’s Guide to Detroit Techno - Article - Stylus Magazine
		The sound of classic Detroit Techno is eerily detached and mechanical (influenced by the city’s industrial roots, as well as by synthesizer-based music like Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, the B-52s, Prince, and New Order), but it is also smooth and soulful, making the music uplifting and dark all at once.
		Working with several variations on the Detroit Techno blueprint, these early pioneers may take a bit more digging to find, but their output is every bit as important to the history of the scene and its place as a worldwide phenomenon.
		Classic Detroit producers have touched on Latin rhythms over the years, most prominently Derrick May and Carl Craig, but with Los Hermanos, it is a genuine identity rather than a genre exercise—further proof that there are no boundaries or cultural barriers that a common love of great music can’t cross.
