I'd echo the books Baars recommended below. Tim Barr also did the rough guide to techno book, though it wont cover much that's not in Techno Rebels.
There's also Simon Reynolds Energy Flash. I haven't read it in decades and though it covers some Detroit within, it drew ire from various folks as its quite opinionated. History of House is a good wee book, though harder to find, on the studio equipment side and has interviews with the big names. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: baars <h1_t3ch_f...@hotmail.com> To: David Mansfield <dmansfiel...@gmail.com>, "313@hyperreal.org" < 313@hyperreal.org> Cc: Bcc: Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2020 20:33:04 +0000 Subject: Re: Books on Detriot Techno Strictly relating to Detroit Techno I don't know, but you should check Tim Barr's 'Kraftwerk. From Dusseldorf to the future', and maybe Kodwo Eshun's 'More brilliant than the sun' although that is more like poetry about afro-futurism (but loaded with references to Drexciya, UR and Jeff Mills). And if you want to read more about dance music preceding techno, you can't go wrong with the books by Tim Lawrence. ------------------------------ *From:* David Mansfield <dmansfiel...@gmail.com> *Sent:* Friday, February 28, 2020 6:34 PM *To:* 313@hyperreal.org <313@hyperreal.org> *Subject:* Books on Detriot Techno Hello Everyone, I have read Dan Sicko's Techno Rebels and enjoyed it. I was wondering if anyone knows of any other informative books on Detroit techno I could check out. Thanks!
