That's what I was trying to raise. That depends on the nature of 'techno' clubs in the UK. There are some great techno clubs in the UK, I am sure, with The End, etc and they are important. But we have had the same things here with techno clubs - they become very hard, they become very male-centric, everyone even wears the same kind of clothes, it's an intimidating enviroment maybe and it's predictable, which is not a 'techno' attribute. The DJs are then expected to play a certain kind of techno. I have seen that happen here as well. Here techno clubs can be very Anglo, too. I am not saying this doesn't happen to house clubs, but there is a great diversity of people, across the gender and sexual spectrum, even across the ethnic spectrum. What is stopping a techno diehard going to Fabric, really? That is another question you have to ask. It could be as simple as Mills wanting to break down barriers and switch things up a little. He's always been 10 steps ahead of us. There is probably an interesting reason behind it.
