Hi there- I've been lurking since the beginning of 313 (Morgan Geist's first post maybe?)
I love Detroit techno (and Detroit). I have a show on intergalactic.fm's Dream Machine that usually features a track or two from a Detroit artist. (I even got to check out the Packard Plant the first time I went there in 1994!) In my opinion, Drexciya and Detroit Escalator Co. made some of the most beautiful music ever. Love reading all your posts, and I'm super happy people are posting again. -Suzanne On Wed, Oct 24, 2018 at 11:58 AM <denisedalph...@gmail.com> wrote: > > “The paradox of black cultural movements -- Techno, Hip Hop, Jazz, Blues etc > -- is that it is dependent on the majority culture -- i.e. mostly white -- to > support it, because they are the ones with the numbers money.
