Techno Pop Mix

The term techno pop was coined in Japan in 1978 and migrated West with the Japanese group Yellow Magic Orchestra. Techno pop was post-industrial music, synthetic by inclination, expressing the bizarreness and alienation and excitement of late Twentieth Century urban life. Later, shorn of the 'pop' part, techno found a home in Detroit, from there spreading around the world again by African American musicians. This mix begins with techno pop's 1970s awakening, spiralling afterwards through voices and genres; the second half is a techno mix, and we conclude somewhere warmer.
