Man that is all f*cked up! Endless crap, none of this would exist without the guy who created the first damn piano somewhere in Europe.
I admire american Dj's trust me, from UR to FXHE, but hell, this sound wouldn't be a big deal without europe.
Of course House and Techno mainly comes from the US, but in the end there is probably more Jeff Mills fans over here than in US.
I think there are amazing producers everywhere, yellow ones, black ones, white ones...
You know there are sh!t loads of good electronic music all around the globe, I know talented guys here in Paris, Germany was and still is a centre of creativity, UK is full of great (amazing) artists...
In Europe there is a scene ( I mean, a real one ) and that allowed many guys to play out of Chicago, Detroit, etc... So a big scene means hype, all this, and of course, this not-so-good-underground music.
Oh, and isn't Techno George Clinton and Kraftwerk stuck in an elevator?
So basically, it's deeply african rooted music with german music. And lord knows what influenced both of them.
There is good music everywhere (Moodymann/Maurizio) and sh!t music everywhere (Black Eyed Peas-Lady Gaga/Tiesto-Guetta-Italian minimal
).
But there's no doubt, we all know where cheesy business music was born.
And honeslty I see more things happening here (good or bad) in Europe today.
