I find there is also a certain clickyness or nepotism in the industry. Most people wont listen to your demo unless you have a certain affiliation or an inside track so to speak. I am looking at techno now in the same degree I viewed hip hop before the native tongues came in the late 80's early 90's
There needs to be some sort of unification between artists that scale the sub genres. I'm talking full range. For example from Dare I say it Shranz all the way to Tech house dub. Something of like a wu tang proportion a group of producers, dj's distributors label owners who just have desire pushing the scene's integrity and survival forward instead of being greedy and trying to be the next super star dj with a pony tail and gucci shades.

this is the truth
