Re: (313) Man Alive?
i've appreciated all sides of the debate, but i concur. After Detroit, it's Berlin. If we are talking kindred TECHNO spirits, who helped get detroit european exposure, collaborations, the whole Hardwax/Basic Channel connection, remember that tresor compilation: Berlin-Detroit: A Techno Alliance ;) yeah you could argue Neil Rushton was doing similar with licensing stuff for Network UK / Kool Kat though... Biorhythms... etc. etc. and that might have been before UR got in so thick with Mark and Moritz at Basic Channel/Hardwax. Sound of Detroit/// True, but it never really worked though, well not in the numbers sense that the label wanted, I also feel that the Face article did a lot of damage - turning techno into something like a cheap consumer product for the style whores - this view changes depending on my mood tho :) Also i found the Chicago arguments interesting, the cross-pollination was definitely there. For 2nd wave detroit/chicago crossover, DBX personified it, btw. Sold big numbers here. So did the early Metroplex records too. It's also funny, classically, DJs here play Salsa Life here more than they play Strings of Life. Same record sales numbers, but different cut for the different city. That was one of the first things i notices when i started going out after moving here 10 years ago. Salsa Life! It's grown on me immensely though, prior to moving here i never gave it a second thought. But it tears up a house room big time. Used to hear this at Red Dog, upstairs smaller room, hot summer night sweatbox... wooo. I only ever remember big mash-ups in the early days, remember hearing Strings at the Hac but I remember hearing a lot more Chicago stuff there than Detroit joints. Voodoo Ray was a magic moment tho... Martin

Used to hear this at Red Dog, upstairs smaller room, > hot summer night sweatbox... wooo. This is the angle I'm interested in too, which no one ever seems to talk about. Around '94-'95 I was just getting my first exposure to Detroit and Chicago other than Mills and Hawtin, which I caught on to slightly earlier. It was the DBX-influenced people that first caught my ear, like Hyperactive and Justin Long from Chicago, Landstrumm, Vogel and Todd Sines (who even released on Contact, which I'm pretty sure was from Chicago - Todd feel free to chime in here), along with DBX. All the Iowa club kids would make the 3-4 hour trek to Chicago more than anyone older, because it was easier to do underage stuff there, and obviously more good talent. These kids, most of them 14-19 at the time, were buying loads of the stuff above alongside Relief, Peacefrog (another obvious DBX -> Chicago connection by way of St. Albans), etc. Come to think of it, you can plot a circle just from Sleazy D -> DBX -> Hyperactive. In my mind minimalism was the major cross-over at the time, although few people I met in Chicago, or who spent a lot of time there would acknowledge the cross-influence. At the time it seemed to me everyone thought each was dogging the other. Which really makes no sense with all this in mind, and given the way Derrick May was caning Preacher Man for half a decade, and the way Spastik and Losing Control were played to death in Chicago.

Hmmm I don't think techno really hit here until the hardcore thing and the early Belgium tracks of late 90.. Up until then, apart from the bas n bleeps it really had all been lumped in together... It was all house to me. P

Re: (313) Man Alive?
I argue it's detroit, and there's no 2nd city. All the 2nd cities mentioned should be recognised in their own right for their own vibe is my argument. yeah what he said... :) if you don't take the name (house) but the sound (early house is very techno) into account i'd probably side with chicago if i had to though. but that is just a taste thing as i don't really dig the harder more abrasive sounds. robin...
RE: (313) Man Alive?
I (begrudgingly) agree with agent bond.
