Techno, Art, and Technology. I've been involved in Techno since early 1993, and spent a lot of time between 92' and 01' driving from Boston to NYC (and back) chasing a specific sound, and as it turned out, was a part of some pretty memorable Techno events. So many warehouse parties hosted by Sonic Groove, Mental Unity / Electronik Underground, and others throughout those decades.

After 2001 the Techno scene pretty much collapsed for a few years in NYC, due to issues related to the Sept 11th attacks, such as artists having issues obtaining a US visas, the world economy, pointless wars, and a collectively paranoid government. Boston (my home) never really had a well established Techno scene before 2012.

I'm still plugged into Techno today, of course, but established groups are hard to come by in Boston, and many from NYC have moved on to Europe where they can make a living and thrive in it's long-established Techno scenes. Thankfully one of the most active and Techno focused groups has been doing great things in the Boston area over the last five or six years, (INFRA Boston), more than any point I can recall anyway. I am thankful that Boston is finally flexing it's Techno muscles, because this crew has brought in some serious goods from around the world. So even with everything going on the last few years, I feel that my region of the world is looking as bright as ever when it comes to the music that I love. Pure Techno.....
