I think the spirit of techno lives on it`s it`s offspring.
New sounds and genres have developed from techno, due to experimentation, and these new sounds, although still techno in essence, differ too much from the norms most techno heads recognise as techno so new names are given to these new musics.

It would be nice if the brackets of techno opened up a little this year, and more people started playing with more diverse sounds, as a music very much obsessed with the cutting edge, some forward movement is always a prime necessity.

Personally I want to continue to explore and move and see what else can be done to dance music whilst applying a techno ethic. Try to find some ground that sits between the cracks.
