In reply to what Jason wrote, I totally agree that Adam Beyer & Cari Lekebusch along with all the other Swedish artist that produce percussive driving Techno have created a hole new and distinct type of sound and do take it to a different level and "can not" be compared to most European Dj's and Artist. Everybody talks about how innovative the Detroit artist were. The Swed's are just as innovative with their own unique style of music as well. Cari Lekebusch is a master when it comes to sampling and adding just the right amount of effects to his tracks. I guess the point im stressing is that Swedish percussive music by all means is very distinct and unique and should be appreciated. And if you think its just hard techno were you throw your fist in the air and are sore after your done "Your right". So what, If you really listen to that type of music you would see that their is alot of physical and emotional feeling involved
