im a hard trance chick but i do like techno, just dont know so much about it, and cant really afford to but techno as well as trance records at the mo!! went to the april 1st generation and had the best night ive had in ages stompin away! so yeah im being converted slowly but surely!! have found that even with hard trance blokes can be a bit patronising, if you say you like hard trance they go "i suppose you like scooter then etc" so i guess techno blokes might be a bit like that aswell?" anyway, i do like me techno im just a bit of a newbie!!
