There is no real theory, well you need to just listen to classic electronic music from Kraftverk to Juan Atkins/Derrick May and learn from it. For the guy who made that track that is totally appalling and devoid of any decent beat/melody/hook/chord progression to have the cheek to make/put his name to a book is almost funny. Listen to these and others that will show up in Youtube and learn from them…
Compare these to that neon the rex..thing

Now bearing in mind all those except one are over 25 years old and that trash posted by the rex is new, who do u want to learn from? These are all complete works of electronic genius so all u can do is listen to this stuff and try your best. Come up with ideas of your own. This site is good for drum patterns btw and I’d say this is the best Techno one on there

Indeed and call me a cynic (which I definitely am). I downloaded that book and if the same guy who knows a hell of a lot about pretty obscure chord progressions, polyrhythms, syncopation wrote that track which is complete and utter junk from an electronic music perspective. It has no hook or repeating melody. It has untold chord progressions that have to my ears no relation to each other, has a very feeble rhythmic structure. It’s total junk. How has Kraftverk, the great electronic pop of Depeche Mode etc then electronic masterpieces by Juan Atkins and others from Detroit, Aphex Twin, The Black Dog, Orbital etc regressed to this utter bilge and this guy knows all this about music theory? I could wack something like that together in an afternoon I reckon. It says in the book “This is what I teach my guitar students” hmmmmmm I don’t reckon he even wrote it.

Listen to the work of Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, Derrick May and figure it out. The concept is straightforward but to make a track like this is rather hard. https://youtu.be/So0kzVXGB2E

That EDM track…..anyone could make that. I could see zero theroy behind it. No complex beat, no chord progressions that make it stand out. I was laughing as it;s like electronic music has actually regressed as a form of music. That early techno had soul and there is still great techno being made and kids like THAT?????
