The Techno Series ep1 - Zach Burns

Generally, techno is defined as a form of electronic dance music that is said to have emerged in Detroit, Michigan during the mid-to-late 1980s,

"Stylistically, techno is generally repetitive instrumental music, often at times produced for use in a continuous DJ set. The central rhythmic component is most often in common time (4/4), where time is marked with a bass drum on each quarter note pulse, a backbeat played by snare or clap on the second and fourth pulses of the bar, and an open hi-hat sounding every second eighth note. The tempo tends to vary between approximately 120 to 150 beats per minute (bpm), depending on the style of techno. " (Wikipedia)

I will be honest my passion for techno is somewhat recent, being over the last two years but again what I have learnt that no matter what general definition is given to techno it is interesting to see how other genres such as house when mixed give different interpretations and explains to a degree why people tend to put techno into one bag and refer to it just as electronic dance music.

After the success of the Deep House Series I thought it was time to look at techno and get an interpretation of this through the Dj.

First off we start off with a good friend, Dj Zach Burns who I have followed almost from the beginning and seen him grown to a Dj who I have a lot of time and respect when it comes to djiing. When I asked Zach on his interpretation he said this.

"Techno is something i slowly fell into as i expanded my interests away from Circuit/ Funky House and more into the Deep/ Tech genres. For myself, I love it's raw energy and tough industrial sounds that really hit you, As I have got more into it though I have tended to centre closer to the tribal influences which always bring back memories of club nights and sets where such sounds have stood out & inspired me. This mix features a range of tracks that bring to you my interpretation of Techno, many of which you' will hear in my Tech/ Techno sets at events such as Popcorn & A:M Afterhours. Enjoy this mix and the series to come."
