i honestly do not think this is a bad thing. OK, so its an interpretation of techno that may not necessarily be to your taste, but its going to reach a larger audience, turn peopl onto techno, get them taking notice of artists like DAVE, Guy, etc, then maybe go a little deeper and discover music they've never heard before and possibly be blown away by it?
It also puts techno more in the spotlight which I think is a good thing.

I think exciting times are ahead, gonna be an interesting year.
