Are you talking about who is going to take it to the next level production wise or dj'ing etc.

Richie Hawtin is the one pushing the boundaries of dj'ing , livewise. As in adding in tons of extra stuff , 909 , final scratch ( although using final scratch is a piece of piss)Repeater ,frequency isolators,a brand new one off Allen & Heath which is supposed to give him absolute control over whatever he does on the fly etc etc (not too sure exactly what I am talkign about her as I haven't seen it in action yet , but you can bet your ass it will be amazing).

On the production side , **** knows ,Si Begg perhaps!!! I am getting a bit ****ed off with some of the Techno coming out. I think certain producers are becoming extremely lazy and reusing the same loops and the exact same format. A lot of the swedish producers are going this way , as are a fair few of the Belgians. They both started with a great sound but haven't moved it anywhere. You pick up a record these days and one of the mixes is good and the rest are exaclty the same tribally efforts.
