Some say that Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" was the first true techno song, although the BPM may suggest otherwise. This was supposedly the first "Disco-ish" song to be complete synthesized. Disco was definitely a predecessor to Techno.
Kraftwork was all synth too - and is definitely "Electronica" genre - but I don't know if I'd call their earlier stuff Techno.
