Techno is a four-on-the-floor electronic music genre that emerged from mid-1980s Detroit, pioneered by Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson — collectively known as the Belleville Three. Built on drum machines and synthesisers, techno took the futurist sensibility of European synth-pop and Kraftwerk and grafted it onto the rhythmic urgency of Chicago house, producing a colder, more mechanical, and more abstract dance music. Tempos typically run 125–135 BPM. Techno migrated to Berlin in the early 1990s, where Tresor and Berghain made the city the genre's spiritual home. The contemporary scene is global, ranging from the minimalism of Mike Banks' Underground Resistance to the peak-time bombast of festival headliners. Techno remains the most influential electronic genre of the past 40 years.
