World Techno Day

World Techno Day is around the world on December 9th, and it’s an important holiday for techno connoisseurs. If you’re one of them, we’d like to invite you to join in the celebrations and have fun from the heart!

History

Techno is a type of machine music that is non-melodic and does not feature the sounds of live instruments. Despite this, it has its own soul and fullness that can be felt when listeners really experience the rhythms. It originated in the city of Detroit, America, in the second half of the 80s and was officially recognized as its own genre in 1988. Despite being accepted by some, the style was devalued by others and even demonized. Techno has since become a cultural phenomenon that has given rise to other genres such as house, rave, and acid music, and is one of the most popular trends of the 20th century among young people.
