That's the first time I have heard techno coming from hiphop and ~~techno~~ punk rock. I thought it was more disco (which also has African American roots of course) and Krautrock etc.

Probably has multiple roots that came together, i believe the name techno has something to do with there being new (tech) instruments and I afaik the drummachines came from hip hop because rock had real drummers but techno also used analog synthesisers in their early days which I guess were not from hip hop but from punk. Disco must had an influence as well, but I am really no expert.
