I couldn't agree more. I'm from the UK and I can tell you with supreme
confidence that being actively involved with techno music - in any way -
has become, by definition, political. As far as I am concerned Techno,
along with its related forms of electro music (ie. other essentially
bare, up tempo stuff), is made primarily for the
dance floor. To think otherwise is abject folly. So if you don't like
clubs or Megadogs, etc. you have to go to raves. Raves are for the most
part illegal nowadays - so you see my point. It might not be so political
in the States, but in Europe it is! Is Alex Paterson political? Is Andy
Wetherall political? The Drum Club? Orbital? To say they ARE is an
understatement. Get with the program.....
