Techno is… “music that sounds like technology, and not technology that sounds like music, meaning that most of the music you listen to is made with technology, whether you know it or not. But with techno music, you know it.”
Juan Atkins [56]
Techno is Like Detroit
Techno is …”like Detroit…a complete mistake. It’s like George Clinton and Kraftwerk are stuck in an elevator with only a sequencer to keep them company.”
Derrick May – 1998 [52][53]
We Call It Techno
Basically, we’re tired of hearing about being in love or falling out, tired of the R&B system, so a new progressive sound has emerged. We call it techno!
Juan Atkins, 1988 [53]
