Here we go with the "soul" cliché and the accusation of trolling. You make it seem like all the pumping loop based techno is crap, (try telling that to Jemm Mills, Robert Hood) I was just noting the similarities in early Detroit techno like Wiggin and the techno you hear today, you even hear the reverse beats. I'm talking about the techno genre whether it be Swedish techno or Brighton techno, I'm not talking about other forms of electronic music that you would find more soulful like Moodyman or Broken Beat.
