I was gonna mention the Northern Soul parallels in my email. If I'm
discussing this with my mates in the pub it's the similarity we look to
too.
Thing is though that scene was always backwards looking and, from what
I know, resisted anything that wasn't from detroit. Techno isn't really
like that.
A better comparison may be the culture surrounding reggae sound
systems. No-one blinks an eye at a 60 year old running things there.

Well, if you want to know where techno is headed in the next 10 years
the answer can be summed up in two words. 'Northern Soul'.
