Techno is a type of dance music featuring electronic instruments, principally electronic synthesizers and drum machines. Also its production is largely undertaken with music sequencers such as Cubase, Pro Tools and Logic. Originating in Detroit towards the end of the 1980s Techno now has many sub genres but its initial inspiration was the fusing of European synth based music with Afro American styles of music like House, Electro, funk and even electric jazz. There is a futuristic and aesthetic quality to Techno which some see as a marriage between technology and spirituality and even the transfer of spirituality from humans to machines... scary stuff!
