i did give a reply to the micro house question, but .........

its all to do with vocabulary and definition of sound in a contextual form.

ok, so you put all techno in the same bag, but where do you're boundaries stop? why not chuck some hard house in, or some other 4/4 genres. what defines techno? and when you anwer that question you have to use other descriptive words, so why cant those be put on the fornt of 'techno' to define a completely separate sub branch with hundreds of labels and thousands of releases.
the ability to describe in detail what you do should be on the tip of the tongue of anyone who treading a specific path. arm yourselves with a good vocabulary for describing the music you play. when i do gigs i have to get just a handful of words from a promoter to understand what specific niche of music they are looking for. if i turned up and then played just 'techno' at 'pre-liberator-era acid techno party', then i'd get booed off.
