good thread
depends on your view and involvement in the scene to be honest. I view techno as a whole alot different to how i viewed techno 8 years ago. When you get into producing and releasing records, djing etc etc, you start to realise the business side of things, who to trust, who not to trust etc etc and alot of the time you could be forgiven for thinking that the main reason you got into all this was for the music in the first place, so i try and keep a certain distance from the scene in the sense that i dont buy or get every record that i like that i used too, i dont go crazy trying to get to see my fave djs or live acts week in week out and i very rarely listen to club techno at home
