Pretty good
You seem to be off to a pretty good start. There are a wide range of Electronic genres. Seeing as you're making techno, I would assume you listen to some already. Next time you listen to some songs, try to visualize how they may have made or done the effect or melody that catches your attention. For example, a lot of trance songs use reverse hihats or claps and add a delay and reeverb for a trippy sound.
