I was trying to say that Hip-Hop is core to the NYC sound and has a place in the NYC techno scene as well

AT THE VERY LEAST through Samples and Projecting a certain attitude...

Everyone jumped down my throat calling me an idiot and so forth...

I have been following music since the mid 80's

Why would I say something that didn't make any sense?

WHY?

SONIC GROOVE DOES NOT HAVE ITS OWN SONIC GROOVE SOUND

THATS NOT TRUE

FRANKIE BONES has the Battletek, Ghettotek sound

Adam X has the Electroclash and Horrorcore sound

Heather Heart has the Warm Techno Analog Sound

Dan Physics has the Industrial, Goth, Synthpop sound


They all Represent for NYC but in different ways and they are all different

THATS WHY SONIC GROOVE is Best "Techno" Institution NYC has ever seen!

Instead of jumping on the bandwagon of someone 4000 miles away we should be following the footsteps of OUR PIONEERS

I am not saying that you are doing it one way or another... not at all

BUT WHEN I GO OUT IN NYC... Every Month I hear more and more DJs just trying to immitate the sound of people that come over from Europe...

BUT FOR WHAT?

How is that sound relevant to us? IN THE MEANTIME OUR SCENE KEEPS SHRINKING AND SHRINKING... AND ALL I SEE IS PEOPLE TRYING TO IMMITATE OTHERS in the Hope that maybe one day they can LEAVE NYC and GO TO EUROPE

Again...

THAT IS NOT SOMETHING I CAN RESPECT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM OR AGREE WITH
