I didn't mean to be dismissive when I said cynical.
Maybe i'm too naive?

And I am no techno producer, I don't make music so I don't feel am well placed to talk about "is this or that tune art or not"...

But i am an artiste in other ways (very small ones) and the answer I like the most to "what is art" is this one: if it provoque an emotion in somebody, it is art... It doesn't have to be beautifull, but it makes you feel something...
