And that's exactly what these heads were doing in the beginning on their labels... simular equipment as in Chicago House and with influeces from a dozen european bands. So can we conclude then... that in early stages a lot of so called 'Detroit Techno' classics are at least very simular to Chicago House? I also remember a story wherein these heads were driving up to Chicago every weekend to check out those 'Disco' parties with DJ's like Ron Hardy. Of course we cannot neglect the fact that Detroit city was in resessions those days... Dr. Nutcracker
