About

Created in mid-1980s Detroit by Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson — the Belleville Three — fusing Kraftwerk's electronics with Chicago house and Detroit funk; the 1988 compilation Techno! The New Dance Sound of Detroit gave it its name. Berlin's post-reunification club scene (Tresor, later Berghain) turned it into the harder, faster European strain most people hear now.
