that reminds me of the question I wanted to ask Jeff Mills at the Submerge/Metropolis showing (but unfortunately the Q&A period was dominated by some clown with a big mouth and small brain): is Detroit Techno® still music of and for the future or is it now considered "retro" to make Detroit style techno? has the future envisoned by the original Detroit Techno® generation passed us by? When people ask me what kind of music I'm making these days I tell them "old Detroit style techno like Derrick May and Carl Craig used to make." I think if the future has indeed passed us by, then it's time we went Back to the Future. Anyone feel the same way or is it just me?
