funny this should come up. I friend of mine, who was born and raised in Detroit but has been living in California for the past 10 years, came to visit Detroit for his High School reunion recently. I took him to some of the hot clubs and parties around town and he asked me later "so tell me something... when did house and techno become 2 different scenes?" He'd come up in the early Detroit club days of the Music Institute, City Club, ect. and wasnt around to see the gradual polarization of the 2 scenes. it was pretty eye opening.
