I'm from Detroit, it's a bit of a misconception to say the Belleville 3 created techno as there were more players in the game at the same time like Thomas Barnett, santonio echols, a number of names, Eddie fowlkes, Blake Baxter ect, anyway there's so much great techno around these parts listen to some bmg, Erika,( together they are ectomorph),Carl Craig,Jeff mills, also there's lost of good European techno, donato dizzy, also you gotta love some ghettotech dj assault, disco d , dj omega, then there's minimalish stuff like Mathew dear , plastikman(Hawtin) , ricaro villalobos ..sheeeeeeyut I could go on all day
