Also BTW: All of the recent techno sets I've downloaded this month have been really amazing. Maybe I'm bias because I've become so sick of what the DnB people have been doing but I think the current techno is pretty darn cool and that includes the MarkEG mix that someone posted in here. Sure its not as cool as the hard as hell 1992 jungle tekno ardkore, but its cool in its own loopy trackly way. I actually hated minimal techno with a passion till I heard Carl Cox and Underworld play sets at the ex-nyc nightclub Twilo. What a great time it was to dance to that stuff and to know exactly when the 909 OH & CH pattern would kick in and when the beats would drop. That predictability is what makes it cool for me, and you still can't hear real techno on the radio which makes me feel special when I blast it out of my car windows (when everyone else around here blasts M&M rap, yes blasting music in the car is my guilty pleasure). :lol:

Also to say that only people of african decent can make good techno is quite silly. Theres plenty of good white techno artists who once brought the funk to the scene such as Slipmatt, Seduction, Ratty, Waxdoctor, and Stu Allen. Sadly they've either retired or lost their touch because the music scenes changed.
