Slow Techno - A Definition

Here is a definition of techno that we have discovered courtesy of Dmoz.org:

"Techno is a hard and fast style of electronic music. The speed of tracks is usually between 135 and 150 bpm. There are usually no vocals, and no guitars or other "live" sounding instruments. Techno can be found in warehouses, clubs and outdoor festivals around the world."

This definition links in well with how we have therefore defined 'Slow Techno' in a previous post:

Finding accurate definitions of the genre is not easy so we salute Dmoz for this clarity.
