I see your points. Using the term "Techno to describe this genre is my way of explaining it to people who have no idea about any of the types of techno. I would not try to explain the differences and the styles to someone who does not know anything about the music. The word techno is obviously derived from technology, thus explaining all the maechanical-like sounds you can hear (lasers, beeps, etc). That is nowhere near the same as trance r any other style. So I would not say that it is an umbrella to call it all Techo, but it is much easier to just let people call it Techno and be done with it. I agree with DjDigDug, it is much harder to make a quality Techno sound without sound cheesy, like some kind of Nintendo game. The other styles seem to be able to flow and mix easier, but thenagain I am not a DJ so I am probably wrong about that.

I've really tried liking techno, listened to sets, samples, reccomendations from other TAs. I had alot of patience trying to appreciate it, but in the end, I really really don't like it. I find it dull, without drive, repetitive and boring.

I like techno made by:

alexander kowalsky
umek
pascal FEOS
richie hawtin (plastikman)
mauro picotto
gabry fasano
cave
valentino kanzyani
kaylab
(goes on...)

you're not listening to the right techno . for the longest time that's how i felt too...but it's because i was listening to crappy techno. good techno has a fantastic drive...you probably even hear dj's play it and don't realize that's it techno.
