Ok, so Detroits an obvious one but what other cities in the world do you think are synonymous with techno and why?

Ok, so Detroits an obvious one but what other cities in the world do you think are synonymous with techno and why?
well i think Sheffield has some tradition.
a lot of techno from birmingham, of course. surgeon, etc.
berlin should be on any list too.
london, as a hub for all electronic music.
rotterdam, i'd say. or the whole netherlands.
stockholm, particularly from the mid-90s on.
for other US cities, i'd suggest minneapolis (woody mcbride, etc.).
Nottingham used to hold it's own.
Been a bit quiet recently, but I understand plans are in the works.
I hear good things about various places in Spain, Portugal, and Eastern Europe.
LEEDS! Held host to some of the greatest names in techno and a few producers. The Orbit put techno on the map up north and Detatched continues to push things forward and excite.
Lucky ****ers us yorkies :smile:
That's massively true.
I really need to get myself to a Detatched.
Bogota has a wicked techno scene at the moment - lots of stuff going on over there, really exciting vibe there imo
Frankfurter
Waterford Ireland even tho it may not be on a big scale as the rest mentioned but for Ireland it has done well over the years
Waterford was once a GREAT techno 'City'.
still is IMO look at the acts we have had all year. and more to come soon, Billy Nasty , Ben Sims left this year i believeQuote:

Luke Slater, cristian vogel, dave clarke... lots of innovators and people who took a different take on things. Big free party scene and there used to be loads of good record shops. BLOC started off in brighton in the same little club we still use, always been a strong following for weirdness and people pushing boundaries.
cologne
berlin
