Is House a derivative of Techno?

[ncw]

Techno in it's original form and setting was an off shoot of house.

i was always led to believe that techno was created because a group of people got fed up with house and the arrangement of the music in house music. thus it being a completely seperate entity

i havnt researched into this though i must add. just something i saw on some TV program about early house music

Rough idea:

House was going on in Chicago, having been born proper by 2 main DJs - Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy. Trax records was setup along with a couple of others, as an outlet to release "house" records being made by fanboys in their bedrooms.

Detroit = 5 hours ish drive from Chicago, there were a few isolated kids into electro, synth pop, P- Funk, and house/disco, they began making music to take to the DJs in Chicago, using mostly synthesisers and drum machines. The lack of a club scene in their home city, coupled with interest from UK journalists lead them to come up with various intellectual backdrops for their tracks, and the journalists wanted a name to put up on a banner above this music (it was at this time regarded as "Detroit House").

Juan Atkins coined the phrase "Techno", as in technological music.
