wow id forgot about Kentaro. Have an excellent vid on my computer upstairs from a festival, he's amazing.

but i think as a rule, the reason why scratching isnt as popular in techno is because it's just not one of those techniques that lends itself to the music as well as it does other genres. There is certainly a place for it, but if you notice it does always tend to be incorporated into techno with djs who have that very old skool, hip hop style, fast and choppy, loose (in the good sense), willing to risk things for the mix etc etc
