what irritates people about techno is that in some senses it is a music without discernable location, that it is communistic and proletarian in its sound sources... or should I say, it is the universal sound of machines, which all workers are subject to.

If your job or your hobby depends on anti-racism, then you in some senses do not want openings to think beyond race to open up. This is why I say Matt is far more appreciate of detroit techno, in his writeup for his forcefield mix he poses this question in a thoughtful way, by posing detroit techno as a black Artform which attempts to think beyond race, beyond the soil. Same as Kodwo.
