		Detroit DJs Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May and Carl Craig are often credited with inventing the techno sound while spinning in Detroit clubs in the early 1980s.
		When the Detroit techno group Inner City became popular in the early 1980s, for instance, most people assumed they were British, said Dan Sicko, 33, the author of ``Techno Rebels,'' a book about the musical movement that led to the festival.
		Sicko said this year's festival is aimed at closing the gap between techno's original, fl, Detroit audience and the white kids who picked up on it later.

	The Detroit Electronic Music Festival
		The result is a festival heavy on straight-up dance music, without the explorative feel of the first two years.
		The irony is that electronic music has always had a deep focus on the future and the 2002 festival line-up looks to the past, with Atkins calling it "a history lesson."
		While it seems that a free dance concert in Detroit will still attract thousands, it is unlikely that the DEMF will ever again reclaim its cultural cache without returning to the cutting edge of techno.
