• Techno and other music genres

  Techno draws heavily upon its funk and soul music roots and it distinguished by its intense grooves and percussive basslines. “Utilizing cutting-edge “beat machines” like the Roland TR-808, TR-909 and TB-303, early techno producers generated a new sound by creating intricate, unabashedly synthetic lower ranges, pushing conventional funk and soul to its limits. What resulted was a typified “Detroit techno sound” that permeates the core of vastly differing genres today.”
