The term techno music was first cloned by Kraftwerk in Germany to describe their unique use of technology in electronic and computerized instruments while making contemporary Pop Music. As techno music evolved, new terminology was required to make sense of all its variants. In time it stood for what now refers to "industrial" or "electronic body music" and later still, the sound originated in Detroit and Chicago in the mid-'80s.
Pioneered by Juan Atkins, Kenny Larkin and Mike "Hitman" Wilson, it has evolved from cutting edge underground to undisputed ruler of the American rave scene, to mainstream "Top 40" acceptance. The commercial success of techno music has also led to it's fall from grace in the underground scene, being replaced by trance, progressive house, and the strong resurgence of true house.
Techno music is typically found in purely instrumental music, sometimes involving spoken word samples drawn from a variety of sources: film, television, radio, and even other artists' works. Generally techno is driven by its beat, although melodic and harmonic lines still figure heavily in its definition. Artists such as 808 State, Fluke, Orbital, Crystal Method, and Chemical Brothers, typically fall under the techno music category.
