Electro in a 4/4 set

[SlavikSvensk]

electro was techno was electro was techno ................ same thing once upon a time

hmm, almost agreeing with you. electro was electro, then hip hop, while house was house then techno. both emerging around the same time, both from the robot, dark mindspace. i'm agreeing with ya, but being a bit more specific :-)

allow me to flex my nerd credentials by splitting hairs...cybotron, while sounding like electro to our ears, are usually considered the first techno, and that was in 1981. jesse saunders "on and on", the first house track, is from 1983, so techno (and the techno/electro alliance) predate house.
