Mojo refused to follow pre-established radio formats or playlists, and he promoted social and cultural awareness of the African American community.

In fact, they were one of the main reasons why didn't really grab hold in Detroit in '79. Mojo used to play a lot of funk just to be different from all the other stations that had gone over to disco. When 'Knee Deep' came out, that just put the last nail in the coffin of disco music. Despite the short-lived disco boom in Detroit, it had the effect of inspiring many individuals to take up mixing, Juan Atkins among them. In 1980 or 1981 they met with Mojo and proposed that they provide mixes for his show, which they did end up doing the following year. During the late 1970s-early 1980s high school clubs such as Brats, Charivari, Ciabattino, Comrades, Gables, Hardwear, Rafael, Rumours, Snobs, and Weekends created the incubator in which techno was grown. These young promoters developed and nurtured the local dance music scene by both catering to the tastes of the local audience of young people and by marketing parties with new DJs and their music. As these local clubs grew in popularity, groups of DJs began to band together to market their mixing skills and to the clubs in order to cater to the growing audiences of listeners. Locations like local church activity centers, vacant warehouses, offices, and auditoriums were the early locations where underage crowds gathered and the musical form was nurtured and defined. Atkins' role was likewise acknowledged in 1995 by the American music technology publication , which honoured Atkins as one of 12 Who Count in the history of keyboard music. In the early 1980s, Atkins began recording with musical partner Richard Davis and later with a third member, Jon-5 as Cybotron. Inspired, he resolved to continue experimenting, and he encouraged Saunderson and May to do likewise. Eventually, Atkins started producing his own music under the pseudonym , and in 1985 he established the record label. I had no idea that my record would happen in Chicago. Derrick's parents had moved there, and he was making regular trips between Detroit and Chicago. So when I came out with 'No UFOs,' he took copies out to Chicago and gave them to some DJs, and it just happened. Detroit sound performing at the in 2017.

They deliberately rejected the legacy and traditional formulas of and , and instead embraced technological experimentation.

It was like something you can't imagine, the kind of power and energy people got off that record when it was first heard. Mike Dunn says he has no idea how people can accept a record that doesn't have a bassline. Chicago See also: and The music's producers, especially May and Saunderson, admit to having been fascinated by the Chicago club scene and influenced by house in particular. Juan Atkins also believes that the first producers, seeking to distance house music from , emulated the techno sound. Atkins also suggests that the Chicago house sound developed as a result of ' using a drum machine he bought from Derrick May. He claims: Derrick sold Chicago DJ Frankie Knuckles a TR909 drum machine. This was back when the Powerplant was open in Chicago, but before any of the Chicago DJs were making records. They were all into playing Italian imports; 'No UFOs' was the only U. So Frankie Knuckles started using the 909 at his shows at the Powerplant. Boss had just brought out their little sampling footpedal, and somebody took one along there. Somebody was on the mic, and they sampled that and played it over the drumtrack pattern. Having got the drum machine and the sampler, they could make their own tunes to play at parties. One thing just led to another, and Chip E used the 909 to make his own record, and from then on, all these DJs in Chicago borrowed that 909 to come out with their own records. In the UK, a club following for house music grew steadily from 1985, with interest sustained by scenes in London, Manchester, Nottingham, and later Sheffield and Leeds. The DJs thought to be responsible for house's early UK success include , , Colin Faver, and. Acid house : The that was used prominently in. By 1988, house music had exploded in the UK, and was increasingly popular. There was also a long-established warehouse party based around the scene. In 1988, the music played at warehouse parties was predominantly house. That same year, the party vibe associated with Ibiza-based DJ was transported to London, when and opened the clubs Shoom and Spectrum, respectively. Both night spots quickly became synonymous with acid house, and it was during this period that the use of , as a party drug, started to gain prominence. Other important UK clubs at this time included Back to Basics in , Sheffield's Leadmill and Music Factory, and in Manchester , where Mike Pickering and Graeme Park's Friday night spot, Nude, was an important proving ground for American dance music. Acid house party fever escalated in London and Manchester, and it quickly became a cultural phenomenon. MDMA-fueled club goers, faced with 2 A. To escape the attention of the press and the authorities, this after-hours activity quickly went underground. Within a year, however, up to 10,000 people at a time were attending the first commercially organized mass parties, called raves, and a media storm ensued. The New Dance Sound of Detroit The explosion of interest in underground dance music during the late 1980s provided a context for the development of techno as an identifiable. The mid-1988 UK release of Techno! Although the compilation put techno into the lexicon of music journalism, the music was, for a time, sometimes characterized as Detroit's high-tech interpretation of Chicago house rather than a relatively pure genre unto itself. Rushton was later quoted as saying he, Atkins, May, and Saunderson came up with the compilation's final name together, and that the Belleville Three voted down calling the music some kind of regional brand of house; they instead favored a term they were already using, techno. Problems playing these files? Derrick May views this as one of his busiest times and recalls that it was a period where he was working with , helping Kevin, helping Juan, trying to put Neil Rushton in the right position to meet everybody, trying to get endorsed so that everyone liked him, trying to convince Shake that he should be more assertive... The record was also responsible for bringing industry attention to May, Atkins and Saunderson, which led to discussions with records about forming a techno called Intellex. But, when the group were on the verge of finalising their contract, May allegedly refused to agree to appearances and negotiations collapsed. Ultimately, the release served to distinguish the Detroit sound from Chicago house and other forms of underground dance music that were emerging during the rave era of the late 1980s and early 1990s, a period during which techno became more adventurous and distinct. Music Institute In mid-1988, developments in the Detroit scene led to the opening of a nightclub called the Music Institute MI , located at 1315 Broadway in downtown Detroit. The venue was secured by George Baker and Alton Miller with Darryl Wynn and Derrick May participating as Friday night DJs, and Baker and Chez Damier playing to a mostly gay crowd on Saturday nights. May explains: It all happened at the right time by mistake, and it didn't last because it wasn't supposed to last. We had no inhibitions, no standards, we just did it. That's why it came off so fresh and innovative, and that's why... This ranged from relatively pop oriented acts such as to the distinctly anti-commercial sentiments of. The -based label label was instrumental in introducing Detroit techno to British audiences. By the early 1990s, the original techno sound had garnered a large underground following in the , , the and. The growth of techno's popularity in Europe between 1988 and 1992 was largely due to the emergence of the scene and a thriving club culture. Exodus In America, apart from regional scenes in Detroit, , Chicago, and Orlando interest was limited. Producers from Detroit, frustrated by the lack of opportunity in their home country, looked to Europe for their future livelihood. A number of New York producers were also making an impression at this time, notably , Lenny Dee, and. In the same period, close to Detroit , , with business partner , launched the influential imprint Records. Developments in American-produced techno between 1990 and 1992 fueled the expansion and eventual divergence of techno in Europe, particularly in Germany. In , following the closure of a free party venue called , the club opened in 1991. The venue was for a time the standard bearer for techno and played host to many of the leading Detroit producers, some of whom relocated to Berlin. By 1993, as interest in techno in the UK club scene started to wane, Berlin was considered the unofficial techno capital of Europe. Although eclipsed by Germany, was another focus of second-wave techno in this time period. In the United Kingdom, opening in in 1987 and which opened its doors to in 1990 were pioneering venues which helped bring techno into the country. Both clubs were praised for their late opening hours and party-focused clientele. Trade has often been referred to as the 'original all night bender'. Problems playing these files? Germany's engagement with American underground dance music during the 1980s paralleled that in the UK. By 1987 a German party scene based around the Chicago sound was well established. The following year 1988 saw acid house making as significant an impact on popular consciousness in Germany as it had in England. In 1989 German DJs and Dr. Motte established the , an illegal party venue, and co-founded the. After the fell on 9 November 1989, free underground techno parties mushroomed in , and a rave scene comparable to that in the UK was established. Doorway to , the Frankfurt am Main venue famed for the run Technoclub. In 1991 a number of party venues closed, including , and the Berlin Techno scene centered itself around three locations close to the foundations of the Berlin Wall: Planet later renamed by Paul van Dyk , Der Bunker, and the relatively long-lived Tresor. It was in Tresor at this time that a trend in paramilitary clothing was established amongst the techno fraternity by a DJ called ; possibly as an expression of a commitment to the underground aesthetic of the music, or perhaps influenced by 's paramilitary posturing. In the same period, German DJs began intensifying the speed and abrasiveness of the sound, as an acid infused techno began transmuting into. Other influences on the development of this style were European EBM groups of the mid-1980s such as , , and. Changes were also taking place in Frankfurt during the same period but it did not share the egalitarian approach found in the Berlin party scene. It was instead very much centred around discothèques and existing arrangements with various club owners. In 1988, after the opened, the Frankfurt dance music scene was allegedly dominated by the club's management and they made it difficult for other promoters to get a start. By the early 1990s had become perhaps the first DJ in Germany to be worshipped like a rock star. He performed centre stage with his fans facing him, and as co-owner of Omen, he is believed to have been the first techno DJ to run his own club. One of the few real alternatives then was The Bruckenkopf in , underneath a Rhine bridge, a venue that offered a non-commercial alternative to Frankfurt's -based clubs. They initially played a mix of different styles including Belgian , , Chicago House, and synthpop such as Kraftwerk and Yello and it was out of this blend of styles that the Frankfurt trance scene is believed to have emerged. Talla, in the early to mid-1980s, worked in City Music at Frankfurt Station and began to categorize artists such as , , Kraftwerk, and Front 242 under the heading techno, to sum up all technologically created dance music. In 1984 Talla started an event called on Sunday afternoons at Frankfurts Disco No name, which then moved to the club in 1987. Talla's club spot served as the hub for the regional EBM and electronic music scene, and according to , of magazine, it had historical merit in being the first club in Germany to play almost exclusively electronic dance music. DJ Tanith has expressed that Techno as a term already existed in Germany but was to a large extent undefined. Frankfurt's Armin Johnert viewed techno as having its roots in acts such DAF, , and , but a younger generation of club goers had a perception of the older EBM and as handed down and outdated. The Berlin scene offered an alternative and many began embracing an imported sound that was being referred to as Techno-House. The move away from EBM had started in Berlin when acid house became popular, thanks to Monika Dietl's radio show on. This development would lead to a permanent move away from the sound associated with Techno-House and toward a hard edged mix of music that came to define Tanith and Wolle's parties. As the mid-1990s approached, Berlin was becoming a haven for Detroit producers; and even resided there for a time. In a sense, popular electronic music had come full circle, returning to Germany, home of a primary influence on the electronic dance music of the 1980s: 's Kraftwerk. Even the dance sounds of Chicago also had a German connection, as it was in that and Pete Bellotte first produced the 1970s Eurodisco synthpop sound. Main article: As techno continued to transmute a number of Detroit producers began to question the trajectory the music was taking. It is thought that , a Detroit-based producer and one time member of UR, is largely responsible for ushering in the minimal strain of techno. Hood describes the situation in the early 1990s as one where techno had become too , with increasing tempos, the emergence of , and related trends straying far from the social commentary and -infused sound of original Detroit techno. Just drums, basslines and funky grooves and only what's essential. People would complain that there's no funk, no feeling in techno anymore, and the easy escape is to put a vocalist and some piano on top to fill the emotional gap. I thought it was time for a return to the original underground. Jazz influences See also: , , and Some techno has also been influenced by or directly infused with elements of jazz. This led to increased sophistication in the use of both rhythm and harmony in a number of techno productions. Detroit producer Mike Banks was heavily influenced by jazz, as demonstrated on the influential release Nation 2 Nation 1991. Following this the notion of an intelligent or Detroit inspired pure techno aesthetic began to take hold. Detroit techno had maintained its integrity throughout the rave era and was pushing a new generation of so-called intelligent techno producers forward. The sound fed the scene. Warp had originally marketed Artificial Intelligence using the description electronic listening music but this was quickly replaced by intelligent techno. Following the commercial success of the compilation in the United States, eventually became the phrase most commonly used to describe much of the experimental dance music emerging during the mid-to-late 1990s. Although it is primarily Warp that has been credited with ushering the commercial growth of IDM and electronica, in the early 1990s there were many notable labels associated with the initial intelligence trend that received little, if any, wider attention. Amongst others they include: 1989 , Carl Craig's Planet E 1991 , Kirk Degiorgio's Applied Rhythmic Technology 1991 , Eevo Lute Muzique 1991 , General Production Recordings 1991 , New Electronica 1993 , 1993 , 100% Pure 1993 , and Ferox Records 1993. Free techno A sound system at Czechtek 2004 In the early 1990s a post-rave, , scene had established itself in the UK. It was largely based around an alliance between warehouse party goers from various urban scenes and politically inspired. The new agers offered a readymade network of countryside festivals that were hastily adopted by squatters and ravers alike. Prominent among the operating at this time were Exodus in Luton, Tonka in , Smokescreen in , in , Bedlam, Circus Warp, LSDiesel and London's. The high point of this free party period came in May 1992 when with less than 24 hours notice and little publicity more than 35,000 gathered at the for 5 days of partying. This one event was largely responsible for the introduction in 1994 of the ; effectively leaving the British scene for dead. Following this many of the traveller artists moved away from Britain to Europe, the US, in , in and East Coast. In the rest of Europe, due in some part to the inspiration of traveling sound systems from the UK, rave enjoyed a prolonged existence as it continued to expand across the. Spiral Tribe, Bedlam and other English sound systems took their cooperative techno ideas to Europe, particularly where it was cheaper to live, and audiences were quick to appropriate the free party ideology. It was European free parties, such as the annual event in the Czech Republic that gave rise to several French, German and Dutch sound systems. Many of these groups found audiences easily and were often centered around squats in cities such as and. Divergence See also: By 1994 there were a number of techno producers in the UK and Europe building on the Detroit sound, but a number of other underground dance music styles were by then vying for attention. Some drew upon the Detroit techno aesthetic, while others fused components of preceding dance music forms. This led to the appearance in the UK initially of inventive new music that sounded far-removed from techno. For instance demonstrated influences ranging from , soul, and to techno and house. With an increasing diversification and commercialization of dance music, the collectivist sentiment prominent in the early scene diminished, each new faction having its own particular attitude and vision of how dance music or in certain cases, non-dance music should evolve. Some examples not already mentioned are , , , , and. Less well-known styles related to techno or its subgenres include the primarily Sheffield UK -based bleep techno, a regional variant that had some success between 1989 and 1991. According to magazine, by 1995 the UK techno scene was in decline and dedicated club nights were dwindling. The elevator's stalled between the pharmacy and the athletic wear store. Elliott's 2001 album also clearly demonstrated the influence of techno inspired club culture. In recent years, the publication of relatively accurate histories by authors Simon Reynolds Generation Ecstasy, also known as Energy Flash and Dan Sicko Techno Rebels , plus mainstream press coverage of the , have helped to diffuse the genre's more dubious mythology. It became natural for us to incorporate Detroit techno into our commercials after we discovered that young people are embracing techno. Proto-techno The popularity of and —referred to as progressive in Detroit—and in the Detroit high school party scene from which techno emerged has prompted a number of commentators to try to redefine the origins of techno by incorporating musical precursors to the Detroit sound as part of a wider historical survey of the genre's development. Prehistory Certain electro- and European synthpop productions share with techno a dependence on machine-generated dance rhythms, but such comparisons are not without contention. Unlike other forms of electronic dance music that tend to be produced with , techno does not always strictly adhere to the of and such strictures are often ignored in favor of timbral manipulation alone. Thus techno inherits from the modernist tradition of the so-called , or timbral serialism. The use of though relatively limited and the employment of conventional musical frameworks is more widely found in commercial techno styles, for example , where the template is often an. In its simplest form, is marked with kicks beats on each quarter-note pulse, a or clap on the second and fourth pulse of the bar, with an open sound every second eighth note. This is essentially a or even drum pattern and is common throughout and as well. The tends to vary between approximately 120 quarter note equals 120 pulses per minute and 150 bpm, depending on the style of techno. Some of the employed in the original Detroit-based techno made use of and , yet in many cases the basic disco-type pattern was used as a foundation, with polyrhythmic elaborations added using other voices. This syncopated-feel distinguishes the Detroit strain of techno from other variants. It is a feature that many DJs and producers still use to differentiate their music from commercial forms of techno, the majority of which tend to be devoid of syncopation. The original techno music was very hi-tech with a very percussive feel... It feels like you're in some sort of hi-tech village. Techno musicians, or , rather than employing traditional , may work in an fashion, often treating the electronic as one large instrument. The collection of devices found in a typical studio will include units that are capable of producing many different sounds and effects. Studio production equipment is generally using a hardware- or computer-based , enabling the producer to combine in one arrangement the sequenced output of many devices. A typical approach to using this type of technology compositionally is to successive layers of material while continuously looping a single or sequence of measures. This process will usually continue until a suitable arrangement has been produced. Once a single loop-based arrangement has been generated, a producer may then focus on developing how the summing of the overdubbed parts will unfold in time, and what the final structure of the piece will be. Some producers achieve this by adding or removing layers of material at appropriate points in the mix. Quite often, this is achieved by physically manipulating a , sequencer, effects, , , and while recording to a multi-track device. Other producers achieve similar results by using the automation features of computer-based. Techno can consist of little more than cleverly programmed rhythmic sequences and looped motifs combined with of one variety or another, frequency being a commonly used process. A more idiosyncratic approach to production is evident in the music of artists such as Twerk and , where aspects of are employed in the generation of material. Retro technology The was, according to , the preferred drum machine during the early years of techno. Instruments used by the original techno producers based in Detroit, many of which are now highly sought after on the retro music technology market, include classic drum machines like the Roland and , devices such as the Roland bass line generator, and synthesizers such as the , Kawai KC10, , and Yamaha DX100 as heard on Derrick May's seminal 1987 techno release Nude Photo. Much of the early music sequencing was executed via but neither the TR-808 nor the TB-303 had MIDI, only using hardware sequencers such as the Korg SQD1 and Roland MC-50, and the limited amount of that was featured in this early style was accomplished using an. The TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines have since achieved legendary status, a fact that is now reflected in the prices sought for used devices. During the 1980s, the 808 became the staple beat machine in production while the 909 found its home in and techno. Roland's now near-legendary TR-909 is such an example—released in 1984 with a retail price of £999, they now fetch up to £900 on the second-hand market! The irony of the situation is that barely a year after its launch, the 909 was being 'chopped out' by hi-tech dealers for around £375, to make way for the then-new TR-707 and TR-727. Prices hit a new low around 1988, when you could often pick up a second-user 909 for under £200—and occasionally even under £100. Musicians all over the country are now garrotting themselves with MIDI leads as they remember that 909 they sneered at for £100—or worse, the one they sold for £50 did you ever hear the one about the guy who gave away his TB-303 Bassline—now worth anything up to £900 from true loony collectors—because he couldn't sell it? Sound on Sound reported that the 909 was selling for between £900 and £1100 and noted that the 808 was still collectible, but maximum prices had peaked at about £700 to £800. Such prices have held in the 12 years since the article was published, this can be evidenced by a quick search on. There never has been. It was down to the preferences of a few guys. The 808 was our preference. We were using Yamaha drum machines, different percussion machines, whatever. One of the most notable was the , produced by the Swedish company and originally released in May 1997. Version one of the software featured two TB-303s and a TR-808 only, but the release of version two saw the inclusion of a TR-909. Despite the success of ReBirth RB-338, it was officially taken out of production in September 2005. The site also features extensive information about the software's history and development. In March 2001, with the release of V1, Propellerhead upped the ante in providing a £300 software-based electronic music studio, comprising a 14-input automated digital mixer, 99-note polyphonic 'analogue' synth, classic Roland-style drum machine, sample-playback unit, analogue-style step sequencer, loop player, multitrack sequencer, eight effects processors, and over 500 MB of synthesizer patches and samples. Technological advances As computer technology became more accessible and advanced, interacting with music production technology was possible using means that bore little relationship to traditional practices: for instance, performance laptronica and. By the mid 2000s a number of software-based virtual studio environments had emerged, with products such as Propellerhead's and finding popular appeal. These software-based music production tools offer viable and cost-effective alternatives to typical hardware-based production studios, and thanks to advances in technology, can create high quality music using little more than a single laptop computer. Such advances democratized music creation, and lead to a massive increase in the amount of home-produced music available to the general public via the internet. Artists can now also individuate their sound by creating personalized software synthesizers, effects modules, and various composition environments. Devices that once existed exclusively in the hardware domain can easily have virtual counterparts. Some of the more popular software tools for achieving such ends are commercial releases such as and and packages such as , , and. In some sense, as a result of technological innovation, the mentality that was once a core part of dance music culture is seeing a resurgence. Other notable Berlin venues include Tresor and Watergate.

As the price of sequencers and synthesizers has dropped, so the experimentation has become more intense. We call it techno!

If the techno scene worships any gods, they are a pretty deranged deity, according to Derrick May. It's like George Clinton and Kraftwerk stuck in an elevator.
