I dunno.
Looking backwards is what old people do when they run out of ideas.
All cosying up to the tea time of the past.
There are plenty of new peeps around doing new things.
Maybe the "key" techno artists aren`t the key anymore, and thats the problem, hype over musicality.
Ignor the names and listen to the music.
Who cares who made it, who cares what sub genre it is.
