Techno pioneer Derrick Mays just did a new interview with Beatport. In this video he discusses how EDM is not electronic music, & that the only people endorsing EDM as Electronic are journalists, & artists who do not know music, or the culture of music.
Looks like he is talking out on journalist who do not have knowledge on the subject of electronic music, & who do not know electronic music. As well as artists who dont know about electronic music, but try to lie in the media.

Hear yourself typing? I thought the saying goes "are you just talking to hear yourself?"
This thread is on electronic music, & about how pioneers in Techno are saying that certain people in the media re responsible for "EDM", & that it is not electronic music. He goes on to say how artists are also the problem because they do not know the roots of electronic music.
Feel free to comment on the video, leave your opinion, & share your insight.

Seems like the producer of CBC electronic (who just got into EDM in 2010) has been reading Ta. In her latest article she now writes how EDM is a fake genre, however before this article she said she loved EDM, & covered it.
Do you think it is weird that a urban journalist, turned edm journalist is now trying to write about authenticity in electronic music?
Here is the Producer of CBC Electronic making a statement to electronic artists, as well as her resume that was posted online.

Hi! I'm Anupa, the new community producer for CBC Electronic. You might have seen me around the CBC Music blogs; I recently wrote about taking in a Jay-Z show at the brand new (and controversial) Barclays Center in Brooklyn and I've hung out with Craig Norris on the R3-30 a couple of times. On the electronic front, I just interviewed the lovely Vanese Smith, a.k.a Pursuit Grooves, and Flying Lotus. Has anyone caught FlyLo recently? The new live show is pretty high-octane and a huge step up from the fun, but relatively low-key sets he used to play. Dude is a star. I'm really excited to be spending some time helming the CBC Electronic community. It's an interesting moment for Canadian music — Cadence Weapon once told me: "It feels like a renaissance" — but I think it's especially bright for those working primarily within the vague confines of "electronic" music. Clearly I'm not a big fan of genre distinction. And lastly, while you'll be seeing more content in the coming weeks, the team has done a great job with the CBC Electronic Facebook community and @CBCElectronic on Twitter. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to share your finds and tell us how we're doing — or even just to gossip about Deadmau5. (Okay, you can just @_anupa on Twitter to gossip.)
