Being a n00b to the genre, I was wondering if all y'alls could tell me something about it. If you know a song, some interesting fact, notable artists, or something, anything at all, post it here!

Hm.. First off, there's many different types of techno.
Short List I can think of;;
Techno
House
Breakbeats
Electronic
Trance
Hard trance
Hardstyle

Someone else may have a better list.

One popular song I'm sure you've heard is, "Pretty Rave Girl" by DJ S3RL
DJ S3RL is one of my favorites.

You've probably heard of the group Daft Punk.
Good group. but I'm not into them at all anymore >.>;;

Basshunter is good as well.


My favorite artist/song changes from day to day and as my mood changes. Some days I'm absolutely into techno, others I'd much rather something else.

some good places to start:

http://www.myspace.com/mdslktr - german god's of every form of electronic music ever, period.

http://www.myspace.com/apparat - german god of IDM

http://www.myspace.com/moderat - the combination of the above 2, probably the greatest electronic group to ever exist

www.myspace.com/80kidz - japanese electro

http://www.myspace.com/crystalcastles - toronto, brought bit-pop/electro-thrash mainstream

http://www.myspace.com/heartsrevolution - epic LA (my home town) dance and electro girl/guy group, love these guys to death

http://www.myspace.com/m83 - multinational shoegaze/dance pop group, has gone through multiple changes, every album is very different

--many many more, check out the "kitsune" record label and "Bpitch control" record label

also "deadmau5" and "rex the dog" if you want minimal techno, more of a throwback to the detroit techno days of late 80's early 90's (but much better)

...god i could go on all day mrgreen

Japan probably has the best Techno music. Or at least some of it. Also Otaku Hard Core Revolution is the biggest techno event of the year (at least for me). But, it's all in Japanese.

Trance is called trance because it can induce a trance with its building up and down throughout a track. Like Shamans beating on drums for a long time... they begin to induce a sort of trance.

European Techno is the best.
Don't get me wrong,
The Japanese have their good part of it and have good Japanese Techno producers. . .

But compared to the European Techno/Electronica/House/Trance artists.
They can't hold a candle. (:
