If your talking about Booty Bass, Innerzone Orchestra and KDJ, I'm not impressed and I wouldn't call that beyond Detroit techno. >Even though genres and audiences are quite separated >now, it's only a matter of time before a period of synthesis starts again, >like there was in the early 80s with Mojo and the birth of techno. >In fact, the net and MP3 may well be the driver for that. The reason for Techno and House was because of the Drum machine. Mojo and the Hot Mix 5 happened under special circumstances and that was the 80's, its now the 21'st Century. You now live in the Digital age and electronic music operates on a Earth scale, the reason why you have all the different genres and audiences is because technology has evolved in such away that it allows you humans to individually express your selves giving you a greater sound pallet. The future of the internet will only lead to more regulations giving the world government and mainstream media more power. You are to beleive that you have more freedom but UR actually being manipulated and controlled by clever tactccs . As far as Detroit techno is concerned in the future people are going to look back at Detroit techno as a movement that took place in the late 80's with Derrick, Juan, and Kevin and the minimal techno movement of the early to mid 90's with artist like hood, mills, dbx pushing music forward. stephen
