Well, I know I've put thing into categories before (electro vs.
electroclash anyone??) but I'm stepping away from that attitude more and
more. It is just good or bad music and it's a personal opinion when it
comes to that even.
If everything had to fit into defined categories then I doubt a record like
"Techno: The New Dance Sound of Detroit" would be made today (at least by a
major label).
If you listen to that record - none of the songs really sound the same.
There are tracks that sound similar to Chicago house, some are electro
based, some are pretty wild electronic r&b tunes. It's all techno - or
house.
These categories serve more of a purpose for people to say "I am this - I
am not that". They brand themselves and their mindset - can be good or bad
depending on how far you take it I suppose.

Sheeet. Wish we could get more deep house sets like that in Sydney :-D I
think your comment just further cements that in my mind I'm just not
sure exactly what the hell deep house is since everyone seems to have a
different definition. Perhaps thats what this thread is all about?? ;-)
Although some days I'm not even sure what exactly techno is either. I
guess at the end of the day its all either "good music" or "bad music".

I'm 26 and I wear ear plugs. Does that make me old before my time? ;-)
