Hey David,

not sure if it cuts your bill, but I keep exploring sci-fi every now and then.

Oddly enough, I’ve got the Impression that the Lo-Fi Deephouse youngsters are 
also moving on in interesting ways. This YT channel features a lot of damn good 
music I never heard of. Including some damn solid futurist elektro tracks:

Betreff: Serious Discussion--SciFi and AfroFuturism in techno

Can we have a serious discussion about the direction of the music?

One thing I've noticed over the years is that it appears that many of the SciFi 
and AfroFuturist themes that I associate with Detroit techno have gradually 
disappeared from the music over the years. 

Why do you think this is? Has the meaning of techno changed in some ways? Is 
this a response to the fact that we are living in dystopian times and people 
have given up on the future? 

(If I'm wrong PLEASE tell me where I can find recent music along these lines, 
because I love it.)

Perhaps it is about time for a comic book phase?

There used to be an old flash site from Detroit, real cool story. 
Alternatively what happened to that M600 car flash from the late 2000s?


Easy bro, still checking for those electro mixes.
