Can you believe what's happening??!!!! This is a period of serious change in techno...

She love to play the club Code . If more commercial people start to love techno, that's just good.

Yep maybe your right

She said once that bringing techno to the masses is indeed a very fun job. DJs like her and Carl Cox are doing a great job of exposing techno as not just something for meth-ed out rave kids but for everyone. I think that a lot of the newfound interest in techno worldwide has been the result of a shift in the sound of techno itself - a lot of the newer stuff coming out has serious funk to it with a lot of latin influences, which makes for a more mainstream sound. (depending on the DJ of course...but techno has become a lot housier and funkier than the common stuff you'd find only 3 or 5 years ago. Listen to Barbara's sets from 1998/99 - very different...still good, but different.)

Everyone can get down to techno these days, and that's GREAT!

then again, you have derrick may, juan atkins, jeff mills and others who rather just not do interviews and stay out of the limelight and let their underground techno music do the talking.

What are you implying? That just because a DJ does interviews means their music can't speak for itself?

I'm saying that these deejays and many more like them purposely don't talk to the media, don't do interviews and are pretty much difficult to deal with because they rather let their music talk. They have purposely said that in the rare interviews they decide to do. They are people who rather techno stay underground then go mainstream. Now I was never saying that Misstress Barbara was not underground but certain members of the techno community rather have their scene be underground.

well detroit techno is where it's at


look at the real underground scene there : underground resistance .... mad mike one of the guys from the label if he has to be in front of a camera always covers his face




and speaking of techno ... it was big in previous years ...... it's coming back yes ... but Carl Cox is at a low point of his career right now .... and that's a fact
