no, that's pretty close. detroit techno usually has minimal melodies, but often complex rhythms. it finds the balance between pounding and grooving.

most people simply refer to it as "techno" now though, as the guys who pioneered the sound (who were from detroit) have either moved on to other places or other sounds.
