I'm personally pretty serious about my music..

what do you think this so-called "wonky techno" is anyway? I've never heard of what you're talking about...
I admit that I have a limited experience of what I would term wonky techno (although perhaps I won't anymore, given this discussion). I have stuff on labels like Don't, Miditonal, Kitty Corner, Neue Heimat, Horspielmusik...and what stood out most for me was that a lot of these tracks were fun. Party tracks. Is that necessarily a bad thing? To me it's important to have tunes that put a smile on your face and I think there are tunes from people like TSR, Edit (or 3D!T ?) etc. which manage to do this without being cheesy. As long as it doesn't get too ridiculous then there should be room for this style in amongst the more serious output IMO.
