> I'm not sure I've ever heard any of the original Detroit artists reference Jamaican music as an influence

Agreed, I've never read anything from Atkins and his progeny regarding Jamaica at all, frankly.

For those interested, though, the cross-pollination of "dub techno" that happened later is quite wonderful (and makes for great programming music). Moritz von Oswald brought reggae to Germany in the 90's and a dubbed out and cold brand of techno flourished from it. I recommend artists like Moritz's own Basic Channel[1] and the newer Echospace[2]
