HIGH TECH SOUL DVD
Directed by Gary Bredow, HIGH TECH SOUL is the first film to to tackle
the deep roots of techno music and the city that spawned it: Detroit.
With Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and many more.
"Bredow's cast of alumni -- the holy trinity of Atkins, May and
Saunderson at the front -- fill out this tale with passion, pride and,
oddly for music of the future, nostalgia too." - Dazed & Confused
HIGH TECH SOUL is the first documentary to tackle the deep roots of
techno music alongside the cultural history of Detroit, its birthplace.
From the race riots of 1967 to the underground party scene of the late
1980s, Detroit's economic downturn didn't stop the invention of a new
kind of music that brought international attention to its producers and
their hometown.
Featuring in-depth interviews with many of the world's best exponents of
the artform, High Tech Soul focuses on the creators of the genre -- Juan
Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson -- and looks at the
relationships and personal struggles behind the music. Artists like
Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Eddie Fowlkes and a host of
others explain why techno, with its abrasive tones and resonating
basslines, could not have come from anywhere but Detroit.
With classic anthems such as Rhythim Is Rhythim's "Strings of Life" and
Inner City's "Good Life," High Tech Soul celebrates the pioneers, the
promoters and the city that spawned a global phenomenon.
