There's still quite a lot of illegal/semi-legal free party scene type stuff going on, especially in summer. A lot of the scene has been pushed outside of the ring, though.

Leipzig is lovely but tiny in comparision, you won't find even remotely as many clubs and parties.

That’s exactly what someone would say, to keep the tourists away :p

“No, there are no underground raves around here, nor have there ever been, nor will there ever be. Please stay away from this town.”

You make two entrances - one is "backstage and delivery guys" - thats where the people you want get in- the other is for insta-noodles and hipster-replacement folk, who want to wait all night and then get rejected in some viral video..

Eh, because they do not want people there, who listen to promotions and whatever the socialsewersystems carries as hip to them.

Where there is affordable housing, there be musicians doing brave new things instead of worrying about rent and rapping rants about gentrification.

So I am not a techno aficionado, and I'm curious what the state of Detroit techno is now. It seems like it should be more notable (maybe it is and I'm not in the scene to know) given the history and cost of living.

I regret the US turning away from house and techno, compared to Europe.

So school us a bit, rep your city since UNESCO won't. Where does one go in Detroit and what will they find?

Are people there talking about this?
