Bliss, this might help clear things up a bit for you:

Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music | New Home on Techno.org

It is all generalised, and to be taken with a pinch of salt, but there are lots of audio clips so you can hear the differences between styles.

DJ Ghost plays hardstyle/jumpstyle, and as you wil see on the guide above, Hardstyle did not come from Techno; it came from old Dutch gabber. Click on the link for "Hardcore" and you'll see Hardstyle branching off "Rotterdam." Take a listen to the Rotterdam and NU-Style gabber clips, and you can clearly see where Hardstyle came from. It doesn't even really sound like techno tbh; the drums are very different and the structure/feel of the track is far more like gabba.

If you're just getting into a new type of music, and trying to discover new artists/sounds, then you're always gonna make a few wrong turns, everyone does. Techno is one of the most widely misunderstood and misrepresented genres around. But yeah, just cos the mix calls him a "Godfather of Techno" doesn;t mean it is true. I mean, f*cking SCOOTER call themeslves techno, as did 2 Unlimited, ha ha! Just cos it says Techno on the tin, don't mean it is techno in the tin!!!
