I'm picking holes in language, but I wish people would recognise the
nearly-as-old and equally important legacy of Detroit house in the same
breath, if they're only going to utter one sentence. It's not all about
the fact that techno started in Detroit and that a large part of the
techno canon is from there. Detroit techno has largely been replaying
itself but Detroit house continues to remain fresh. See: Reggie Dokes,
3rd Ear, etc. I'd say the best techno coming from Detroit today comes
from Seth Troxler, and that's arguably more house than techno. There's
still good Detroit techno out there, but not much of it is coming from
Detroit. Or that's my antagination towards getting some discussion going
here again anyway.
