Re: Juan Atkins coining "Techno"

The techno music article as it stands suggests that techno is an offshoot of Chicago House. I find no evidence that this is true. I'd be interested to see whether reliable, researched web pages make this claim. A number of personal web pages muddle the distinctions between techno, house, trance, and other music, but articles appearing in magazines and interviews with Atkins are consistent in their depiction of the history of techno.

I plan to expand the Atkins discography and fill out the article a bit. Additional information and material from print-only sources would be welcome.--Rethunk

Origin of "Techno"

The term was definitely coined by Atkins. It came IIRC, from Alvin Toffler's phrase "Techno rebels". Techno isnt an offshoot of house.
