Question
Hello,

For school we have to make a project about techno. So I started searching Google for some good links about the history of Techno/House but I can't find any. Don't you know azny good sites (in English or Dutch) where I can find that information.

Kind regards,

Bram M  

Answer
I don't really have any great "history of electronic music" type sites, but as a starting point you could do worse than to look here:

http://www.di.fm/edmguide/edmguide.html

That's a rather over-simplified 'family tree' type effort biased towards the authors experiences of dance music.  It may help start a few avenue's of investigation?

Going quite a huge step ahead, I'd recommend reading 'Ocean of sound' by David Toop.  Excellent insightes into the evolution of electronic music.
