Some really great, in-depth tutorials on YouTube as well, of course. Ableton has the benefit of having a relative ton of resources online from the community in comparison to some other DAWs.

Furthermore . . .
Check out some other forums too. If you are interested in particular genres, check out forums that relate to that genre regardless of the platform you are creating on.

There's two parts to what you want to do . . .

1) Create Techno (or what ever genre)

2) Use Ableton

Those two things overlap quite a bit but not always.

Check out . . .

And . . . As mentioned before . ..YouTube

If you can't find what you need on YT in relation to Ableton Live, you must be living in a cave. :-)

Good luck

^^ For sure on the overlapping (generally speaking). I'd suggest learning Ableton as a program first, because trying to produce music without a foundational knowledge of what the tool you're actually using to make it is just plain ol' frustrating. You don't need to be a whiz, because it's not necessary to start, but you should be comfortable with the basic functionality.
