I'm a big, big, big techno dork.

I am associated with techno epics.

I love hip-hop, R&B, techno and Latin.

I'm not so rock and roll. I'm more techno.

Techno is everything you haven't imagined yet

I like everything from hard-style techno to rock n' roll.

I'm a techno moron. I need help just to plug in my video camera.

I used to go to rave parties, too, but I was never savvy with techno.

I don't want to make an album which is full of brutal and jarring techno.

I'm gonna be honest: I was never really a fan of techno music, dance music.

I have a varied taste, I'll listen to anything. Well, not anything, no techno.

When I was 16, I really discovered good stuff like Detroit techno or gabba from Holland.

I was very into tribal techno and used to go and really lose myself in great dance music.

Disco evolved into Chicago warehouse. Then there was techno; eventually, it evolved into EDM.

I grew up around salsa, merengue, bachata, bass music, freestyle, hip-hop, techno, house, rave.

I became obsessed with Simian Mobile Disco's music and poorly attempted to make my own techno music.

OPN is completely off the grid. Its like the slime underneath techno and other synth-oriented music.

I'm recording an album. It's sort of techno mixed with garbage - you, know, intense in-your-face music.

I'll leave a store if I hate the music. If it's just, like, techno, I feel like my brain is going to explode.

The trick to techno, as a connoisseur, is that you got to do two things: keep your hands down and your mouth shut.

I just love a slow groove. I feel so comfortable in it. But I listen to a lot of fast music, a lot of techno and house.

My audiences are generally mixed. Some people like techno, others are into the pop music, and others enjoy my film music.

I'm the renegade of funk. I've made house, techno, rock, funk, reggae... That's why I've been on so many different labels.

Well, I love what you would call boys' music, you know, the prodigy, banging techno, music that girls generally don't like.

Simian Mobile Disco changed my life. They put me onto the EDM world. Although they would hate that term, they're more techno.

If you can't imagine female torch singers and Skrillex-style demon techno onstage at the same moment, you don't know Eurovision.

I'm a big techno fan. I love that thumping kick drum. We heard a version of 'Lost in Love' and it was thrash metal. It sounded cool!

I wrote a techno song after I was deported. I was in America for a little bit, but then I was deported back to Germany. I was very sad.

The art world is a very prissy little thing over in the corner, while the major cultural forces are being determined by techno science.

In England and Europe, we have this huge music called ambient - ambient techno, ambient house, ambient hip-hop, ambient this, ambient that.

I'm the know-nothing. I'm curious, I try to be entertaining, I try to translate the techno jargon, but in the end I'm the audience's representative.

I'm more into the Spawn toys. They're really cool. They're coming out with a Techno Spawn series and another series, The Dark Ages, which are really cool.

I'm more akin to things like Sigur Ros, Mogwai, possibly. But when I'm making solo electronic music, techno stuff is just the most exciting form of rhythm.

When I hear music that parents hate, or older musicians hate, I know that's the new music. When I hear older people saying, 'I hate Rap or Techno' I rush to it.

I think I'm a person that's very pessimistic about, like I'm not a luddite but I don't think we need to crack the code of technology and bring forth a future techno utopia.

We got pretty techno on 'Eliminator' and 'Afterburner,' which I enjoyed. I think they're good albums, but we wanted to start using the techno element a little more sparingly.

I'm going to take over on the Techno Comics so I'm going to be dealing in the children's merchandising type department. But that's just setting it up and having somebody run it.

My views on equality are pretty obvious. I mean, I did play a highly complex lesbian techno DJ on TV, but I know it's not always easy to come out and tell the world where you stand.

I wrote a techno song about the four things I love in Germany to make myself happy, which are my grandfather, my two poodle pets, bread, and a strange but delicious Turkish dish called Doener Kebab.

All music is dance music. But when people think of dance music, they think of techno or just house. Anything you can dance to is dance music. I don't care if it's classical, funk, salsa, reggae, calypso; it's all dance music.

When playing big festivals, I tend to play big, over the top techno tracks, like hands in the air songs that make sense being played in front of 30,000 people. I steer away from subtlety in the interests of big bombastic dance music.

My mother's records were formative for me, but when I became a teenager, I wanted to find songs that she wasn't hip to. She was so hip, though, that I had to go outside rock n' roll - so for about 10 years, I only listened to hip-hop, house and techno.

When I started to make music at the end of the '90s, I saw myself highly influenced by hip-hop and techno, but I wanted to apply these ideas to something from the local sound; something that had identity, that would say who we were and where we came from.

When you're growing up you also like to go out and party a lot, and the music that we would hear going out would be techno and electronica. And earlier stuff like the Prodigy. It kind of stood out from everything else. Y'know, 'Firestarter,' where did that come out of? It sounded alien and otherworldly.

The Dome is a metaphor that could mean anything - it could be nuclear fallout, terrorists - I've always been fascinated with stories where people's roles are flipped on their heads, be it the Wall Street guy, the techno guy, etc. All of those things are only successful when there are people and money around.
