It's interesting to see what people in Detroit might regard as 'Detroit Techno' isn't it? One problem is that as far as I can understand, the time, in Detroit, when masses of clubbers (of a broad age range, perhaps) go out to clubs and listen to 'techno' of any variety, appears to have passed. FOr club music, house and of course hip-hop rules at the moment, I think it's safe to say. This is just what I hear.
But, I'm told, there was never a time when the more 'breakbeat' stuff - basically this is 'electro', but not exclusively so - was *not* more popular than 'techno'. Even more blurring the edges of this, is that there was and still is to an extent a tendency for many in Detroit to call what we call electro, techno as well! :-) (Please remember that all my impressions are second-hand. I haven't been out in Detroit in over a decade.) People I would humbly request to pipe-up on this topic are Ian Cheshire, and Greg Earle :-) Peace, Ken >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2004 10:02 AM >To: 313@hyperreal.org >Subject: RE: (313) Detroit Techno > > >>Both - does there have to be only one sound? > >No, not at all. > >I was just wondering if people thought one way or the other. >Like, for example, I often forget about the harder stuff, when I imagine >that some people actually from the city identify more with that sound and >probably think of that as "detroit techno". > >Where as I don't, and Iwould imagine I'm wrong, just wondered if I was in >the minority or not... > >_________________________________________________________________ > >--------------------- End of message text -------------------- > >This e-mail is sent by the above named in their >individual, non-business capacity and is not on >behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers. > >PricewaterhouseCoopers may monitor outgoing and incoming >e-mails and other telecommunications on its e-mail and >telecommunications systems.
