I didn’t know people could swear so much on this list. That’s so weird to me.
Hey check out these videos of me on stage talking with Detroit techno and house founders. Juan Atkins plane didn’t take off from NY or he woulda been there too. https://media.dlib.indiana.edu/?_=1525717318970&f%5Bcollection_ssim%5D%5B%5D=Roots+of+Techno%3A+Black+DJs+and+the+Detroit+Scene With this pandemic lockdown, the only thing I can focus on is finishing my book ... about Detroit techno. Thanks so much for more attention on this issue.
