Bleep techno (or simply bleep[2]) is a regional subgenre of techno which developed in the late 1980s in Northern England, specifically Yorkshire.[5][6] Named after its minimalistic synthesizer sounds,[1] bleep techno combined influence from American techno and house with electro elements and heavy sub-bass inspired by reggae sound system culture.[4] The style was commercially successful between 1989 and 1991,[6] and became associated with artists on the Sheffield label Warp Records.[4] It has been characterized as the first uniquely British style of electronic dance music.[5][4]
