Wonder what people make of this, Christian Smith in our local street mag: People always say that Detroit was the beginning of everything. I think that the early so-called Detroit techno is more house than techno. And when you're talking house it's clear where that got started. Not Detroit, but Chicago. I have many friends in Detroit and regularly DJ at the Motor Lounge. Don't get me wrong, I respect a lot of producers from Detroit. I just think that Detroit has gotten too much attention and Chicago has almost completely been forgotten. What about Adonis, Farley Jackmaster Funk and Marshall Jefferson? You never hear their names as godfathers of house.
He has a point about the Chicago people not being given their dues, but early Detroit techno more house than techno? Compared to the mono Swedish stuff that followed maybe Cheers sens ===== "Stop, Dave. I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going.
