nah. i dont agree...

if anything, i reckon they will help save techno from exploitation.
theres too many 'big tunes' at the moment. djs dont have to work, they just have to have a box of 'big tunes' to keep the ppl happy. why bother makin breakdowns outta loop records with filters & fx when u can just let a track do it for you...

without big tunes, it would down to the djs skill & ability, not what mailing list hes on...

either way, i dont see techno as being in trouble, its just evolving. though i'll be happy when ppl start seeing that ppl like Mills & Clarke are past their prime.

dont get me wrong, i respect both for what they have done, but theyre just churning out the same ol same ol & the dj sets are gettin worse.

Clarke is awful these days.
