Secret Techno Church Rave is an electronic night in London, and its title places it within techno, a style of electronic dance music. Techno emerged in Detroit in the early 1980s, where Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson are generally credited as its founding producers. Their records, built on drum machines and synthesisers, shaped club music far beyond the city.

Techno is usually built on repetitive four-four rhythms, with tracks developed gradually over long mixes. The night suits those drawn to electronic dance music and rave culture, and the event takes place in London. Dancefloor sets in this style are typically assembled from such tracks, layering loops and slowly shifting textures.
