Yo what up man. Just some info on the more swedish/UK side of the techno thing. Obviously the Hybrid thing you knew about-Cari Lekebausch and his whole crew. Well they evolved. Unfortunately hybrid went +8 (deep freeze) and started releasing some "aight" electro and tech-house-dub stuff on the side. Drumcodes came up. Adam Beyer started producing some bizarre dirty and experimental techno ala "pyrotechnics" and "remainings 3". Joel Mull came up with his label "Inside" and did some memorable releases. Mull is part of a new crew along with people like Henrik B, and Thomas Krome. There is a stable of labels run by a gentleman named Johan Bacto. He kind of runs 6 or 7 labels around sweden and elsewhere. Then there is the Glenn Wilson revolution. Glenn is the UK equivalent of a bacto running 6 or seven labels in his own time. His flagship (in my opinion) is the Planet Rythm label. He works with people like Thomas Krome, Slobodan, Headroom, Dilated Audio, many others. Definately check out "wider universe" on compound. A lot of Dirty nasty raw hard techno. Ah my other favorites...Skunkworks (the label) Hardcell is pretty sweet. And Alexander Kowalski on the Klanzerampt label is totally bad ass. And Can't forget G-Force. But Im giving away all my info! Oh no! Anyways, What does this have to do with Detroit Techno? Almost everyone I know producing modern techno music in this city who DJs loves just about all these types of records. Futhermore many connections are being forged in the ever expanding world of global techno. It shouldnt be too long before you see their work out on Detroit based labels. Peace-
