this is just untrue, actually. there are a lot of white males into
it, but there is also a selection bias at work here because a majority
of the people on the net are white males. so you're getting a skewed
picture. if you go out to clubs here you'd see a huge diversity both
in terms of gender and race. i can think of two techno artists
working here in the bay area that i know personally who are not white.
and a few more that i don't know who are not white.
in fact, most of the DJs here that play harder stuff are women... we
guys are just softies, i guess!
