Miles Davis techno

so there was this song I was trying to find, right...and it's this really really famous techno song that's been around for freaken ever now (and everybody knows it when they hear it) and I swear to god I thought the man that made this song went by the name of 'Miles Davis' but upon googling his name - all I could come up with was some apparently uber famous jazz/blues singer from way back in the day
so who the fuck made the most famous techno song of all time, and why the hell do I keep things he had the same name as this jazz fucker

I have no idea... but jazz and techno do not belong together.
Jazz: instrumental prowess and improv.
Techno: Repetetive, layered, no instrumental prowess at all.
Just... no...
But I have no clue who it would be.
Miles was a trumpet player, btw.

Famous techno master lol. I wouldn't really call him a master. He's actually a pianist who got popular from that one song children, that got remixed by everyone a million times. His album actually isn't that great.
And he does trance not techno fool

isn't 'trance' just a sorta sub-category of 'techno' though (kinda like like how 'baroque' is sorta a sub-category of 'art')

I used to go to a lot of raves, so I certainly have a soft place in my heart for that type of music, I've just never really followed it really

I tried tracking down a video for KMFDM's muppet based song, but without knowing the actual name - that's turning out to be kinda tough

Or music in general if you haven't ever heard of Miles fuckin' Davis. The guy has been all over the scene with all kinds of musicians reinventing and defining his sound for 50+ years.
The KMFDM thing? I love em but never heard a Muppets based thing. Is this what you mean:

Yeah, me either except for that site I posted above. I don't think its been formally released anywhere really.
There are a few torrents that have it included
