I think this is the only way that the harder Techno beats we used to like in the past will come back tbh. Bigger promoters won't run the risk of playing that sound, cos there is no money in it at the moment, so it'll just be down to local nights, and resident DJs, playing the music cos they love it, not cos it sells tickets. I am fine with that tho, cos even in the past the Techno clubs here were only ever 2/3 full at best (you actually had room to dance, and there were no posers wearing shades indoors, haha!).

Let the hype die down, let Mixmag etc move on to their next big thing and let the real underground Techno scene, with people who genuinely love the music, not just hipsters turning up cos it's "cool", come back.
