Well detroit was the beginning of electronic music as we know it so... Detroit certainly has it's own feeling... People who aren't in the know associate techno with the more recent tribal sound but techno isn't that at all... D.May is detroit techno, T1000 is detroit techno, A Guy Called Gerald was (and still is) detroit techno, UR are detroit techno, Claude Young is detroit techno, Dan Bell is detroit techno... All of these records fit together... House and techno aren't that different anyway... on my copy of Nude Photo is says on the sleeve "WARNING: This is the real house sound of Detroit". Sheesh, who cares about genres... detroit is detroit... If I like it it's detroit, okay? 4Hero is detroit... I love 4Hero... Yet they're music is called jungle or d'n'b... Genre's are stupid...
