Well I wouldn't be so picky about it. You only need to cross a bridge
to get to Windsor from Detroit. Plus alot of stuff that isn't within
the strict borders of Detroit is considered Detroit techno at least in
sound and feel...maybe not the city block.


Plus, there was a time in the not too far recent past that richie was one of
the few people throwing parties worth going to . . . when everyone else was
in bed with europe, he was throwing parties for us poor locals which
completely shaped the current acceptability of the genre in its own
backyard.
