Detroit is a mecca for producing great music and artists. I feel like electronic music really takes its own shape once its been passed through Detroit, and electronic music gets a certain richness after being experienced in Motor City. Ghetto Tech is a world of its own, it has its own history, its own artists, its own dance. Its 140-150 bpm dance music with a dirty edge and raw bass sounds, and its been around for a while.
Chicago Booty has been getting more and more popular recently with Busy P signing DJ Funk to his label, but Detroit is still just grinding away with underground releases and very little cross over. I can see that changing soon this stuff is perfect for mixing in with a 140 bpm dance set. The best place to search it out is at the Electrobounce website, run by DJ Godfather himself.
