I hinted at this in my private email to the person asking about Elektroids "Kilohertz". (Warp at its worst IMO.) I don't know that electro ever went away. It's influence was (and is) strong in the whole techno/idm/industrial-dance spectrum. All that has happened is the style has cycled back around, and turned into new stripped-down shapes that more explicitly recall the early-80's electro-funk. Try emailing submerge@msen.com (with whom I am not affiliated), and they'll hook you up with the real thing from Detroit. You won't regret it.
