hmmm... taking the bait here Tristan.... you think Seth Troxler is the best out of Detroit...? I'd never heard of him so I asked around and just heard some interesting comments about him... and besides the comments about him starting out as a trance DJ... from what I hear of his recent local influence... he threw a party the same night DJ Seoul from Detroit Techno Militia had his birthday party, and from what I hear no one showed to Troxler's event, but over 300 people were at Seoul's... so, I'm surprised you think S.T.'s the best music being produced in the city, there's a whole world of music being produced here thats amazing. You should do a bit more research about whats being produced here...
