Dimitri Hegemann, who opened Tresor, has always said that techno was brought to Berlin via Detroit.

Your comments also suggest that you don't even know how important the interviewee, Juan Atkins, is.

In the old days, the only terms people had to describe electronic dance music were "techno" and "house."

And then "garage". Out of those three genres, only one isn't named after the place it started at... otherwise we might have had "school" I guess :)
