Why don't Detroit pioneers get more respect around here?
Detroit is so important yet no one ever speaks about it here.

not that many people here have had the chance to feel it. Mills/May/Atkins/Hood have helped this music to be born soo much.
It's a bit like a fast food place, it's hot NOW 'Astrobotnia' etc but it'll change/develop absoloutly nothing.

No one seems to do much techno/house on the board at all. I think I'm probably the only person who does techno at all. Probably exagerating but very few demo artists on the board seem to do straight up 808/909 techno vibes.

Yeah true true. Maybe its the old foggie in me. But when I think of artists such as Kevin Saunderson, Drexciya and especially Juan Atkins their music is so powerful and yet pretty underacknowledged.
I'm listening to the Infiniti Collection by Juan Atkins at the mo and its so damn funky!!!

Some people need to get out more.... by yourself on your headphones is one way to appreciate music but it's not the pinacle of enjoyment.

'Off to battle' is one of my favourite Juan Atkins traks and 'The Skies' is genius!

I think most people who frequent this board are into coined "IDM" stylings, which granted is deeply rooted in House and Techno.

Tough to pick the best Juan Atkins track. His best for me will always be 'Clear' but I'd probably say 'Time, Space, Transmat (Night drive through babylon)' in Model 500 mode.
Tell you something JivverDicker, you gotta check out his Infiniti shit!!! Especially track 6 'Game One'!!

'Clear' was what I meant when I said 'the skies'! I'm crap with titles...
Infiniti is his later stuff isn't it?
Juan is Ill at the moment.. quite seriousley 8 (
He's one of my heroes for sure.

I still dig techno a lot. I went off it in a way when I started to get into Squarepusher (back in '95). That said most of the records I bought were basically techno before it mutated into IDM/Autechre/etc etc. But I'm more now overall into fairly straight forward beats. Still dig drill but I prefer more regimented beats. I guess it all depends. But I went off techno a lot but now I can enjoy it no probs. Of course has to be good techno like I guess anything.

probably cos a lot of ppl here are mainly into idm,tho i grew upon detroit sounds,and always admired the old crew...carl craig,saunderson,derrick may,mike grant,random noize generation,octave one and such.
i have to say that jeff mills isn't my cup of tea,but some stuff is freekin'...like wrath of the punisher!!!
nowdays we have some other guys who push the envelope,but i have a feeling that the original idea of techno music isn't stuff that's beenmented to be.
a lot of techno comes from europe...and in a way i see it like a counteballance to the detroit crew.
on the other hand,it's really weird how come that detroit techno was never fully accepted by american ppl,but then you have an festival like Detroit Electronic Festival , where 2 years ago came 1 million people....ironic isn't it?
all of the motor city artist say that the biggest recognition they got was in europe!
well,im happy cos of one thing... i got the opportunity to play with john acquaviva last weekend,so that made my whole detroit experience even more realistic.
