so what i want to know is apart from detroit where are the other major players in the begining of techno?

Among many others

Kraftwerk
Nick Turner
Liaisons Dangereuses
Throbbing Gristle (Adrenalin pre-dated Detroit Techno by about 4 years)
Giorgio Moroder

but really you can keep tracing back and tracing back, music just evolved naturally.
Atkins and the other oldie fogies from detroit coined the term techno, but techno had been around for ages.
