yes well i also felt very small, embarrassed and humiliated about it.
i knew of artists like Beltrum, Frank De Wulf, Eatstatic, FSOL in the 90s.
i then got into acid techno and heard of the suf lot.
then i got into stuff by steve stoll, and felt a burk for not having listened to any surgeon b4, and thinking Speedy J, was some bouncy, phet head dj.
stuff you take for granted maybe people new to techno don't know much about.
