i have been on the west coast all my life and too me the people who have moved out here have helped in some ways ......remember the west coast means portland and seattle also....not just san fran and LA.......most of the people who have moved west still don't make it to portland or seattle that often ...more too seattle cause it's bigger....but one of the true techno dj/producers that has helped most(imho) on the west coast is jon williams of organised noise.........but thats another disscussion........i think brian harden will have his time just as all the other heads in chicago...........just a matter of time....
