It's sad how a lot of people have turned their backs on techno. It really is one of the most misunderstood and hated electronic music genres out there, I would attribute the lack of interest to the popularity of house and trance and the older (elitist) generation maturing away from techno to other forms of electronic music. (i.e., IDM, Larry Heard, Broken Beat, Moodyman, "soulful" house, electro, ect..) One of the major dance mags should dedicate an entire issue to 'techno' highlighting some of the established techno talent like Carola, and the few surviving techno artist from Detroit like T1000 still creating "Detroit techno" of course also the new up and coming talent from around the World you dont hear much about making techno for the 21'st Century. Some guy once told me 'techno' no longer resembles the early Detroit techno sound. How is Drumcode really that different than Mayday, Wiggin (one of the first techno records) or Nude Photo? They are both repetitive track based DJ Tools oriented electronic music based in minimalism, abstraction, and futurism. People like Robert Hood are one of the few Detroit schooled techno artist still making techno records.
