Jeff Mills: amazing skills, some say the best
but his sound is stuck in the past imho
Big fan of course, I listened to the mixup vol2 for years, but I find it too hard to listen to now, too fast, too hard, too dark

Yep, no doubt he's the one guy who is on his own planet musically. I've always been a big fan of Stacey Pullen because, when he's on form, he's like half way between May and Mills.

so you must also like Kevin Saunderson if you're a big fan of detroit techno
btw: why was it specifically in detroit?

Yes but Saunderson isn't known as much for being a DJing maestro. He's good but his fame is more from his production skills and this crossover act, Inner City, from the early days.

Re: why was it specifically in Detroit? Do you mean why is techno sometimes referred to as such?

Because that's where the sound developed. Kind of like house music in Chicago - that was where it all started.

yeah I mean what made those guys born in NYC or even Canada (Hawtin or AD) make the move to detroit?
The three super dj's at the time may-mills-saunderson made it famous because they're from detroit or was it just a coincidence?
what was so special at that time in that city to make that techno sound so popular? same for the chicago house I guess no?

It's because Detroit was the birth place of techno. The term itself has also become a signifier when describing music that it's of a certain style or attitude - the Detroit style - which was typified by certain synths, drum machines and DJing styles in particular. This also helps distinguish it from other styles like minimal techno which was popularised mainly by German clubs/producers a couple of years back (even if it wasn't their idea - it's also a Detroit thing).

As techno branched out around the world it was adopted in other scenes and they had their own sound - some more synthy, some harder etc... It seems to be common to use Detroit techno as the measuring stick by which the others are measured. Also, some of the biggest proponents of Detroit techno aren't even from Detroit - Orlando Voorn for example or Technasia (more for his earlier work than recent stuff).

What's on everyone's setlist these days?! I'm banging out a few classics off the Pryda Friends label as of late, (maybe one day if my stuff gets good enough I'll be on it!) trying to keep it deep, progressive and smooth. I know it's house and not techno, but the stuff is amazing.

Playing right now on my iTunes:

Full Stop - Cirez D

^ Proper techno pounder right there.

Anything by XXXY..Scuba....im all over looking for the next joy orbison and depressingly can't find anyone like that. I don't even know what to call his stuff..garage..2 step...post dubstep?

Ill drop in a production tip : Thomas Penton. Best drum samples ever. I mean, I literally just grab a kick and snare I like and program them..done. No mixing or anything. These drums just slam so hard and are processed so well. Gotta have the best drums possible and these deliver.

Good example of what im saying is Arty - Zara. That kick is a TPenton sample. Besides mastering, it sounds basically untouched.

Scuba is dope.

Just took a listen to a demo of a Thomas Penton sample pack. WOW.

Sneak must have some new tunes coming out and needs some press.

He used to be at the forefront but in the last decade he's put out a stack of pretty forgettable records. Still, he is on the money with his point about the new era of DJs being soon forgotten. Most will for sure. Even some of the bigger current names I've heard have pretty poor DJing craft by what was expected of top DJs in the 90s.
