Yeah, i see your point.

Although i don't think it's all that dissimilar tbh, the acid techno, yes, it's very established over here, but there's still 303 driven tracks being produced overseas, not quite the same style obviously, but not that far off either.

As for the funkier, harder side of things, i think that's where the similarities are between continents. There's plenty of tracks from all the leading artists around the world (including London) that you could put in a set and keep the flow and theme of the music.
