I didn't realize that what an artist does or doesn't do could somehow affect your aesthetic judgement. If the music is good, you like it. If the music is not good, you don't like it. (I am assuming you have good taste here) It's your prerogative to not buy anyone's record for whatever reason. But an artist's actions should have no bearing on your judgement of their music. Kenny can spin wherever he wants, if you don't like the venue--don't go. You've made it clear that you aren't. Hey, I hate it just as much when the masses start obliterating the fine line between slammin' techno and bullshit, but to start badmouthing an artist (especially one that really does kick out good tracks) in public for where he's been hired to spin is unnecessary. You never know, he could enlighten some of those people in the crowd and show them what techno really is. Just because you were lucky enough to be exposed to the good shit doesn't mean you should keep it under lock and key and keep it from everyone else. Who made you the trustee of techno?
