Techno has long been the hallmark of any European dance club, and for obvious reasons. The mix of upbeat tempos, futuristic hooks, and intense crescendos make techno the perfect genre for club going, country hopping youngsters. Although the delineation between techno and its offspring electronic genres has begun to blur in recent years, techno is still, at its core, fundamentally distinct and recognizable. What's more, it's not even exclusive to Europeans. Sure, they started and popularized the entire style, but nowadays you can step into any club in virtually any corner of the world, and hear some of the best DJs and electronic wizards adhering to the same creed of dance music.
