He is a very influential artist in the techno subculture. I don't think anybody hating him for making those masterpieces...

  The blend of classical and techno must come from the techno side. I remember many years ago listening to CBC Radio as they breathlessly talked about some avant garde classical piece that purported to blend classical and techno. It was a mid tier modern classical composition with occasional cheap synth sound effects. And this was ten years after Portishead released their entire first album, recorded with an orchestra, or all the work that Massive attack was doing.

    William Orbit did an album of electronic arrangements of classical music 25 years ago. Not that it prevents anyone else from doing it. But it's not a completely novel idea.

      Yes, at least 50. Folks applied electronic instruments to classical music shortly after they moved out of the experimental phase. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-On_Bach https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-On_Bach And there was this fun disco version as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Fifth_of_Beethoven https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Fifth_of_Beethoven
