I think what this person is getting at is that when all the globally known techno jocks Beyer/Carola/Hawtin (to name a few) come through the U.S they are playing more minimal stripped down techno and not the usual Bangin bring the house down trax. Sure there are alot of peopele doing good things in small pockets around the US but the artists that have left us gasping for air in the past are playing more chilled out music and there just havent been any shows that have left that shocked feeling.

I kinda feel the same way after traveling to LA to see Beyer last weekend and he played a minimal glitch techno set(mad eye style). I liked it and all but it didnt blow me away like he has in the past.. Im not surprised though b/c all his production has been in thta direction.
