I'm spamming this around because Yasushi Miura is perhaps the most prolific, creative unsigned creator of electronic music I know of. And I'm posting to 313 because I can hear a strong Detroit influence to his music even though he's mutated the influence into something completely different.
I'd invite you to just listen without prejudice to this mix of his tracks, but here's my take on what he does: While techno in general tends to gravitate to the analog/warm/minimal end of the genre pool (debatable I know, but let's go with it for now), Yasushi goes to extremes in a completely different direction. His music emphasizes the upper end of human hearing -- his sounds are crisp and piercing, and he's not afraid to get chaotic. Still, when he finds a groove it comes embroidered with a romantically lush harmonic flow. There are few people making electronic music now that I'd categorize as unique, but Yasushi Miura inhabits a musical universe all his own.
