um.....did she mean "electronicA?" sounds like she was pretty clueless and
close-minded.

yes Virginia, Detroit Techno is very funky!
reminds me of a conversation I had with a girl at a bar couple weeks back.
she was trying to explain to me the difference between "techno" and
"electronic music" i couldnt seem to get my head around what she was saying
(to me techno *is* electronic music) since she obviously knew more on the
subject than I ever would she was adamant that "techno" meant
hard/harsh/fast and that "electronic" was more pretty/musical/ambient
sounding. I finally conceeded to her superior knowledge on the subject.
learn something new everyday. I've had numerous conversations like this
where people explain to me what techno is or isnt and explain to me why the
rest of the world is so much more clued in to the whole "techno" thing than
Detroit is :^) guess we just havent caught on yet.

the first time i saw derrick may live i thought he was playing 'house'. I
have no idea about techno or house but it sounded like what i would call
house music.
It was later explained to me that he was playing techno - i never thought
techno was all funked up!!
i still have no idea!
