Techno has always been black music in my opinion. I think Derrick May said something to the effect when being interviewed on his views about karftwerk that "the Europeans left us waiting, they started something, but they never finished it" Techno is what happens when Black kids grow up on Al Green, and then they get a hold of Visage records!!!



People change and music changes, some people who like techno start to dislike it and move on. Go to a drum&bass or Garage night in London, it is exactly the opposite (spot the white man).



I agree with the last post about Japan. Most of Asia are into techno I spent some time in Thailand a few years ago and they fcuking love it. Sven Vath and Richie Hawtin were very popular as were underworld. It's really weird to watch as none of them touch drugs and they jump around lunatics totally loving the music, the DJ’s must love it. If any of you get the opportunity visit south east Asia, do it, it's happening place if your into your techno…
