  Techno Music - ALKIMIA - 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.
The music's producers were using the word "techno" in a general sense as early as 1984 (as in Cybotron's seminal classic "Techno City"), and sporadic references to an ill-defined "techno-pop" could be found in the music press in the mid-1980s.
Wonky techno, the birth of the term wonky techno can be traced back to London DJ Jerome Hill's record shop where a section had been setup proclaiming to be full of "Wonky" tracks.

 Techno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 features an abundance of percussive, synthetic sounds, studio effects used as principal instrumentation, and, usually, a regular, 4/4 beat usually in the 130–140 bpm range—sometimes faster, but rarely slower.
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.

 LyricsVault: History of music; Techno   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In the years immediately following the first techno compilation's release, techno was referenced in the dance music press as Detroit's relatively high-tech, mechanical brand of house music, because on the whole, it retained the same basic structure as the soulful, minimal, post-disco style that was emanating from Chicago, New York and London at the time.
Some of the most effective techno music consists of little more than cleverly programmed drum patterns that interplay with different types of reverb and frequency filtering, mixed in such a way that it's not clear where the instrument's timbres end and the effects begin.
Instead of employing traditional compositional techniques, the techno musician treats the electronic studio as one large, complex instrument: an interconnected orchestra of machines, each producing timbres that are at once familiar and alien.

The historical similarities between techno, jazz, and rock and roll, from a racial standpoint, are a point of contention among fans(also Bob Marley) and musicians alike.
Techno features an abundance of percussive, synthetic sounds, studio effects used as principal instrumentation, and normally a fast, regular 4/4 beat usually in the 130—140 bpm range.
Some techno compositions have strong melodies and bass lines, but these features are not as essential to techno as they are to other dance genres, and it is not uncommon for techno compositions to deëmphasize or omit them.

 techno.cz - party - UGLYFUNK
Originally conceived as a mere launch party for Scott Robinson's debut EP on cluster, the label and night itself has since grown to inconceivable proportions and one could plausibly say is filling a gap in a scene that has sadly been overlooked by many.
The initial concept behind the formation of Uglyfunk stemmed from the fact that scene had become saturated with a monotonous, unadventurous sound that was becoming increasingly less inspiring to both the punter and the agitated onlookers.
Uglyfunk has filled a void that has sadly been forgotten in the techno world, moving away from the formulaic repetitive loops of the norm, they have chosen to provide nights and trax swimming in funked up beats and bucket loads of bass.
