I use Ableton Live 7. It's a fairly self-contained piece of software and great to use to start out on. The interface isn't too daunting and you're provided with a lot of presets and lessons on the major different aspects of using Ableton.

'Reason' is another piece of software you may wish to look into, however I found that a bit more daunting if you're just starting out to write techno, but that might have just been me. With music production software, once you've used one app you tend to be able to feel your way around others without reading the manual (but every application has it's intricacies still).

Those are the two I've had experience with anyway ^ And they are both good in their different aspects, I shan't compare the two as there's a lot of comparisons online and I don't want to start a flame war

But if I had to make a recommendation it'd be Ableton for ease of use.
(Nice to see someone else writing techno around here!)
