well, i personally think he has a point with the Chicago stuff as well. I always find it nice to hear an outsider's (meaning some one from outside of detroit) point of view on things. I've observed that there are a lot of diff't views on the history/evolution of _detroit_ techno and Christian's is just one of them. He's a successful producer (though I _personally_ don't care for much of his productions) & business man who has traveled the world and met and worked with a lot of producers/DJs. He is _very_ educated- he has a masters in finance or economics i believe- so I'm sure what he was saying wasn't meant in any way to be an attack or any sort, but rather a simple observance based on things he's observed/experienced.
When i've traveled and said im from Detroit i've had my even shares of ethusiasm as well as groans. Its become the perception by some that Detroit thinks we are the source for all electronic music existance and those in Detroit sometimes take our privillege too far.It's just people's view and something they are intitled to (if backed up by experience and smarts). d --- lo sens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Wonder what people make of this, Christian Smith in > our local street mag: > > People always say that Detroit was the beginning of > everything.
