I don't think this is a race agrument, its more ethnicity and culture. I think that techno resonates with anglo-saxon and East Asian cultures because we are very electronic driven. Other cultures are more driven by other influences such as latin and african beats which have different influences from local music.

The recent cross over techno tracks I've heard in terms of dub, latin and african do work. Maybe if these individual styles could gather more scale, like Drum & Bass and Asian Dub has in the UK, then I think we would get more cultural diversity.

At the last Anti-World night at SE1 in London, these styles of tracks were played by Geezer and Chris Liberator but only in isolation of full on techno/acid. I don't think I saw a black face all night, but I was a bit mashed. Howver when I go to 100% Dynamite London's main Dub night it is a true Heinz 57 variety of cultures.

Peace.
