It wasn't me you heard but I am glad you you heard it. Techno contras are a great way to get younger folks into the genre - and there is lots of crossover between "regular" and "techno" contra attendees.

There was also an NPR All Things Considered piece on youth contradancing last summer.

heard you on metro connection -- this is terrific! nice fusion of beats with trad dance and representation of all generations on the floor. nothing better than seeing some older folks dancing to house.  i've always thought there was a need for an EDM sub-genre that was folk or bluegrass inspired.
