(313) Detroit Techno magazine month!

2011-02-16 Thread Patrick Wacher
Hey all,
Theo Parrish is on the cover of this months Wire mag - http://www.thewire.co.uk

Also, Mr. Atkins is on the cover of Wax Poetics mag, plus articles on
Ron Hardy and UR! It's great to see Wax Poetics, whose main focus is
hop hop, jazz and funk, reach out a little further to recognize
techno. They did do a feature a few years back on the Beatdown guys,
which is worth tracking down.

http://www.waxpoetics.com/magazine/

I haven't read either magazine yet, saving them for my 14+ hr trip to
Sydney from SFO tonight.

Enjoy!

DJ Seoul is one of America's leading ambassadors of Detroit Techno and
Techno Bass. With lightning fast mixing skills and exceptionally
technical scratches and juggles, Seoul brings an energy to the
dancefloor that is rarely seen. As a producer, his work on the Detroit
Techno Militia record label and his remixes for Drugaci Exhibitions
have garnered him worldwide acclaim. DJ Seoul gives the crowd one
hundred percent every time he performs. This energy is clearly visible
and reciprocated by the audience and will bring this vibe into our
Scorpio basement !

T.Linder takes a no-nonsense, working-class approach to the art of
spinning records. If someone's going to pay money to hear me spin,
I'm going to make it worth their money. The way I look at it, there's
too many DJs out there meticulously and methodically blending records
that all sound the same. As a listener, I'm easily bored with that. I
like to take some risks when I perform,skipping across genres and
eras, doing scratch tricks with two copies of the same record. I want
to give the listener the experience of hearing something they haven't
heard before.

Der Mercenary was born and raised in Detroit, and since an early age,
he’s been influenced with the social and artistic movements, which
arose in that city. Heavily inspired by the early Detroit techno
culture, he began collecting records and DJ’ing in 1996. After a move
to Chicago in 1998, he began to spin at rave parties, clubs and radio
stations around the Midwest (Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis,
Milwaukee). In 2000, Der Mercenary began compiling his studio
equipment to produce his own techno music and started spinning
overseas in Europe.

After moving to Chicago and Europe, he moved back to Detroit in 2002 ,
where he acted as the Vice President of Mission: Detroit association –
organization dedicated to promoting electronic music and philanthropy
in the city of Detroit (www.missiondetroit.org).
Der Mercenary has performed in many different countries on numerous
occasions, playing at Triebwerk in Dresden ( Germany), Clues (
Belgium), Cologne (Camouflage), and Rewers and Paragraph 51 in Poland.
He tag-teamed with Kube72 (Ian Cheshire) for an official Movement 2003
afterparty, and played at just about every popular bar/club in Detroit
(including the Works, Corktown Café, O’Blivions, McCarthy’s pub,
Mission: Detroit, etc.) . In early 2004, der Mercenary moved to
Belgium.


These guys will bring you an unforgettable two hour dj set and will
explain you all about Detroit techno Militia, upcoming tour plans and
more straight from leuven on air and live stream on

(313) Detroit techno Wikipedia article needs help

2010-01-27 Thread Mike Brown
There's talk of merging out of existence the Detroit techno article on 
Wikipedia. It currently consists of little more than a summary of the first 
part of the main Techno article, which I and others had put an enormous amount 
of effort into over the years, relying heavily on citations of Techno Rebels. 

So much more could be said about Detroit techno - things like what it is in 
musicological terms and how it's different from other forms of techno, which 
notable artists and labels are purveyors of the genre, and how producers in 
the UK  Europe came to emulate the style - but to date, the article has 
languished, attracting virtually no contributions of any substance, mainly 
just self-promotion or vague statements that the genre exists, nothing 
properly cited, except for material copied from the main techno article.

I feel strongly that the topic of Detroit techno deserves more than just a 
brief sentence or paragraph in the main Techno article. The main techno 
article instead needs a paragraph which summarizes and points to a detailed, 
separate article about Detroit techno. So I'm putting out a call for 
volunteers to help improve and add more detail to the Detroit techno article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_techno

Thanks.


(313) detroit techno/dance music filmography

2009-10-18 Thread ohanakin ...
Greetings all,

As I start to prepare my own project, I am trying first to assemble a
filmography of Detroit, Detroit techno, club music, electronic music,
etc...

If anyone has some extra time on his hands, email me about any films
that were cool, or why they were not, whatever, I'd be grateful...

I've already seen, Maestro, Intellect, High Tech Soul, and a few
others.  What am I missing ?

Any music docs that you think are awesome or worth checking, let me
know about.   I havent yet seen the Artur Russell bio, nor the Chip E,
;) they're both supposed to be worth checking out for very diff.
reasons...

Thanks,

A

PS

Jeff Mills is on some other sh*t.  He blew up New York City last
night.  He literally played 5 hours of music that's mostly all his own
and unreleased. And he was on point from minute 0.  Anyone who wasnt
working or didnt have some other commitment truly slept.  I dont know
anybody who's pushed themselves, changed and grown as much as he has.

PS Cheese and Metro Area.  Cheesy music is just emotionally effective
music that people relate to immediately. Only it's gone way over the

happens when someone tiptoes right up to that line without crossing

(313) Detroit Techno Pacman

2007-11-29 Thread james . hurlbut

http://www.pbfb.ca/pac-mondrian/detroit_techno/

http://pbfb.ca/pac-mondrian/images/detroit_techno_map.jpg

The Detroit Techno level reproduces a cartographically exact map of  
downtown Detroit in the style of Piet Mondrian, and marks the birth of  
techno in the city.


The address of 1486-1492 Gratiot was known as Techno Boulevard. There  
the studios of Juan Atkins' Metroplex Records, Derrick May's Transmat  
Records, and Kevin Saunderson's KMS Studios took hold and pumped out  
intergalactic funk transmissions to the future. Launching the most  
successful cultural export from Detroit since Motown, the funk now had  
a raw electronic edge best described by May as what would happen if  
George Clinton and Kraftwerk met in an elevator.


In Detroit Techno you dash into the studios of Techno Boulevard and  
emerge at The Music Institute, the first club to play techno. DJ  
T-1000 put it best: The Music Institute was Detroit's answer to such  
legendary house and garage clubs as New York's Paradise Garage and  
Chicago's Powerplant. At the beginning of this music, the MI was the  
only place you could hear Detroit Techno the way it ought to be heard:  
Loud. Bumpin. Funky.


The ghost house marks the 1st Precinct of the Detroit Police Department.

(313) Detroit Techno Militia Launches Record Label

2006-07-21 Thread Alex Lugo
Label signs 2-3 year deal in conjunction with
Cratesavers Muzik.

Detroit, MI. (July 15, 2006) - Detroit Techno Militia,
headquartered in Detroit, MI, has announced a working
production deal with Cratesavers Muzik, a record label
founded by the legendary Trackmasta Lou of SCAN7 and
Posatronix formerly of AUX88.

Detroit Techno Militia launched the label to display
the latent talent within the militia. With the likes
of their self-termed soldiers, the militia is
unstoppable said Mike Harmon, long time DTM supporter
and electronic music aficionado. Forming a record
label is the next step they needed to take after
building their solid reputation in Detroit and around
the world.

Detroit Techno Militia, a driving force in Detroits
techno music community, founded the record label as a
sub-label of Cratesavers Muzik. The partnership will
combine distribution, management and the experience of
the larger label with the clean proprietary design and
attitude that has come to distinguish DTM as a major
contemporary force in the battle against sub-par music
and performances. Their in your face style of
producing and DJing will surely raise eyebrows around
and throughout the techno music community. The take no
prisoners attitude towards their music helps the
militia to advance and spread the gospel of the music
that inspires them, and that will surely speak
volumes.

The much anticipated DTM-001 release is slated to
include tracks from Der Mercenary, Loner9 and Sougon
and will showcase the techno, electro and industrial
genres, says Angela Schwendemann, label manager and
founding member of the Detroit Techno Militia. Future
releases will contain material from all contributing
members of DTM and cover a broad musical spectrum.
Working with Cratesavers Muzik will afford me the
opportunity to learn more about the record industry
and what it takes to run a successful label, says
Schwendemann. The expertise and contribution of time
from Cratesavers Muzik will help make us more
successful, which will ultimately allow us to further
our mission.

We strongly believe this partner ship will continue
the solid Detroit tradition says Trackmasta Lou, CEO
of Cratesavers Muzik. The DTM crew will definitely be
a force to be reckoned with.

About Cratesavers Muzik

Cratesavers Muzik was founded by Trackmasta Lou (of
Scan 7 fame), and Posatronix aka B.J. (formerly of
AUX88). As two of the hardest working producers and
performers in Detroits electronic music battleground,
and with over 30 years of combined record-making
experience, the two joined forces to create and manage
what they believe a record label should be. The label
is dedicated to promoting and preserving the vinyl art
of DJing. The records produced by Cratesavers Muzik
are strictly for seasoned DJs who have accepted the
mission to overthrow the collective of weak track
dropping DJs. Refusing to pigeonhole their sound
selection; Cratesavers accepts demos of all electronic
genres. The minimal requirements are good music, and
the talent can play in live analog.

About Detroit Techno Militia

Detroit Techno Militia was established as a grass
roots DJ/Producer collective on a mission to promote
Detroit Electronic Music around the world. All members
are deeply inspired by Detroit's' techno history and
work closely with several of Detroits most influential
DJs and producers. Members include Andy Hegler, Annix,
Dan Lucas, Darkcube, Der Mercenary, Dimitri Pike, Doc,
Loner9, Mitch Walcott, Neil V., Sougon and T.Linder.

i know there are some cleveland, ohio residents lurking on this list.  i
have a question.  does anyone know who drives a yellow ford suv with a large
detroit techno sticker on the back window?  could this be the notorious
lance mcgannon?  i used to see his posts on this list long ago.  hit me off
list if you have any info.  i don't have any shifty motives behind my query,
it's just highly unusual to see any public display of support for detroit

RE: (313) Detroit Techno

2004-09-08 Thread turnstyle
The original question, IIRC, was whether Detroit Techno (as a term) 
brought to mind abstract, string-laden melodies 


Of course, the question, what does Detroit techno mean today? is 
open, and answerable by all who care.  Whether they're Aril Brikha 
(not from Detroit) or KDJ (militantly from it, and of it), all who 
care contribute to the ongoing answer.


Put simply, the *breadth* of the field, and the willingness to 
engage and invent, are what characterize early techno.  And I think, 
given the immense musical variety of those who still point back to 
Detroit, these things still characterize Detroit Techno today.


  I am constantly drawn back to sounds of Detroit Techno, because it 
is one of the few
  places where I am presented discussion related not only to the 
music but the character

  of dance  electronic culture.

  Techno introduced me to the concept of society through music.  In 
terms of communicating

   ideas and creating connections, 'Detroit' the music identity is a catalyst.

   As a discussion platform, the music is a structure which engages people.

   As a creative reference, speaks of a purposed thinking.  And this 
is a fairly protected identity.


   Detroit ' is passively 'non-commercial'. It eludes to a more a 
organic path.  It relates to a fluency
naturalness in musical ideas.  It suggests harmony in the 
circuitry, beauty in the machine state.


   Defiance, hope, succession, mastery, conscious, fearless, humanity.

   I understand Detroit Techno as a language and a culture.

or something.



there is such amazing variety, that's why the term 'detroit techno' 
means so much.  it's a loaded term.  there's the quiet/gorgeous/lush 
slow 69 tracks, stuff like Kenny Larkin's midtempo and downtempo cuts.  
there's the classic transmat era definitive dancefloor funk like Nude 
Photo, Icon, Kaos, etc... there's housier stuff like R-Tyme, KDJ, 
Andres, 3 Chairs.  There's electro like Cybotron / m500 and 
computer-muzik roboty sounding stuff like Nite Drive Thru Babylon, 
Dopplereffekt, Drexciya, some UR.  Even within UR look at the amazing 
range and variety of labels under one roof.There's the hammering of 
Axis stomper warehouse techno anthems, and the quiet/contemplative side 
of Mills in some of the Millsart / Metropolis stuff.  There's Rob Hood 
as minimal microscope funky atom examiner of pure distilled techno, 
then you've got Hood in his stuff on Duet and Floorplan, totally lush 
and different... And 'nighttime world'!  The same producer(!)  
Amazing..  Then there's cool out jazzy things like The Detroit 
Experiment project, which is something I can play on a sunday morning 
and still get a deep detroit vibe.There's funk/nu soul stuff like 
Amp Fiddler, Dwele, Innerzone Orchestra.


All these are very different sides of the music (not even just 'dance' 
music) spectrum and that's why detroit electronic music is so great, it 
s varied.   You can get a complete diet of quality electronic music 
from hard raw stompers to deep future music to laid back modern 
blues/house to just about anything in between, and never leave the 
'detroit' section of the crates.  :)


an interesting question.  people i talk to get into detroit techno 
through one door, and then find all these OTHER doors of detroit sounds 
opening as they look around inside.  Dumb metaphor, but i hope you know 
what i mean it's so much bigger than just one sound, yet there's 
this intangible thing that ties the mood together...  it's powerful.

I was thinking about this the other night and it often shifts in my 
mind but I'd say:


Detroit:
a) Strings
b) Melody
c) Funk
d) Jacked
e) Kick

These are not in any order but I'd say the strongest one for Detroit is 
the strings, that's how a lot of people define it. I like all flavours 
but sometimes see little point in just copying...For me techno isn't 
about just joining the dots.

RE: (313) Detroit Techno

2004-09-07 Thread Ken Odeluga
It's interesting to see what people in Detroit might regard as 'Detroit
Techno' isn't it? One problem is that as far as I can understand, the time,
in Detroit, when masses of clubbers (of a broad age range, perhaps) go out
to clubs and listen to 'techno' of any variety, appears to have passed. FOr
club music, house and of course hip-hop rules at the moment, I think it's
safe to say. This is just what I hear.

But, I'm told, there was never a time when the more 'breakbeat' stuff -
basically this is 'electro', but not exclusively so - was *not* more popular
than 'techno'. Even more blurring the edges of this, is that there was and
still is to an extent a tendency for many in Detroit to call what we call
electro, techno as well! :-)

(Please remember that all my impressions are second-hand. I haven't been out
in Detroit in over a decade.)

People I would humbly request to pipe-up on this topic are Ian Cheshire, and
Greg Earle :-)

Peace,

Ken

I tend to think of the whole shebang, that whole spectrum of

all the way over to the Tranquiliser EP or Seawolf. But 
I'd probably also say that there's something like a median 
Detroit Techno sound, halfway in between the two edges of the

fourth Red Planet EP and tracks like The Art Of Stalking.

RE: (313) Detroit Techno

2004-09-07 Thread Brendan Nelson
That's odd, that was one of the tracks I was going to suggest 
as being a piece of dead centre Detroit techno. But having 
already mentioned Kaotic Harmony and Icon I figured that 
there was a bit too much Derrick May content in my email 
already :)

When I first heard It Is What It Is I was already familiar 
with the concept of Detroit techno, and with much of the 
actual music as well. But the music had never matched so 
perfectly with the concept - if that makes sense - as when 
I first heard that track. Also, when it was on the Channel 4 
documentary, playing over shots of May wandering around a 
deserted industrial estate and that circuit-board-as-city 
video, I just thought yep, this pretty much sums it up...

It combines the melodic sensibilities of Detroit techno with 
its dancefloor aspects so effectively - hard to think of any 
other tracks that do that so well.

Re: (313) Detroit Techno

2004-09-07 Thread Matt Chester
I personally am open to whatever - I think one of the things which makes
Detroit techno so powerful is this sheer depth, range and quality of its
influences - I find it pretty sad when people start policing what can and
cannot be discussed with relation to the music we all love.The sound
influenced by Detroit is certainly my first love, but I am also passionate
about all music that matches that level of quality - I think that musical
purism is just about the most pathetic trait to be found amongst people in
the scene (though that's a WHOLE different rant!!)

For my part though, the mention of 'Detroit Techno' always makes me think of
the richer, funkier and melodic side of things - tracks like Amazon and
Final Frontier are the first in my thoughts.  The likes of Mills and Hood
wouldn't spring to mind at all, although I do love their earlier material
and they are obviously just as much a part of Detroit's history...

I remember when I first came across that Flash guide to 
electronic music that was put together by a bloke called 
Ashok or something, which attempted to sum up Detroit 
techno with an audio snippet of Hood's Pole Position 
and a spiel about how Detroit techno is supposed to make 
you feel quite disoriented and lost. Of course, that 
*totally* missed the point, and I remember he was getting 
so many emails from people on 313 that he even put up a 
little notice saying if you're on the 313 list, don't 
email me OK!?...

However, I do think that Hood and Mills count as Detroit 
techno (obviously!) even though they're not what might be 
called mainstream Detroit techno. One of the things I 
most like about Detroit techno in general is the fact that 
it's quite difficult to pigeonhole - you go to a Detroit 
techno party, and you're going to hear a very wide range 
of music as the night progresses. Most other styles of 
dance music can't really boast that degree of internal 
variation, I don't think.

 wouldn't spring to mind at all, although I do love their

RE: (313) Detroit Techno

2004-09-07 Thread Ken Odeluga
Ok, the reason I called on Ian Cheshire to join in is because - now this i
v. apt :-) - he's currently engaged in an intermittent tour in Germany
called 'The Detroit Impressions' tour. And I think the idea is that the
artists involved, inc. Ian, give their own 'impression' of what Detroit
techno is mostly all about.

Now anyone who knows Ian, knows that apart from being a very decent bloke,
also knows that the techno he plays is usually at least upbeat and quite
often what you could say is 'hard'. The thing is, he is to me perhaps the
most hands-on authority I've met about djing in Detroit (I think you've
played in Detroit quite a few times Ian , right?). So he probably knows more
than most what goes down in the techno world in Detroit, and what goes down
well.

Greg Earle, the reason I requested that you join in is that I just remember
you talking about going to parties in Detroit many years ago and up to the
present day. Correct me and forgive me if I confabulate (a rare occurence,
right?!?! ;-)

Overall though, I think I'm with Brendan on this. For me, Detroit techno
covers a lot of styles. It's hard, or it's purist, or it's melodic, or it's
minimal, or it's electro! :-) Often it's got elements of all the above and
usually, most people would agree that whatever 'funk' is, that undefinable
element can often seemt to be in what we call 'Detroit Techno'.

Just to give an example of what I'm listening to a lot at the moment which
I'd say falls into the above - 'R U Ready' by X-Ile, on Direct Beat.

Now of course, this is what most would call 'electro'. But to me the essence
of what Detroit 'techno' (heh) is all about is in that record, and many more
quite like it.

I see what you mean... but I think that, on 313, there's a 
pretty heavy leaning towards the melodic, funky and soulful 
sorts of things. The majority of people on this list aren't 
here for hard techno, I reckon; mailing lists like G-Tech 
cater for that audience. While people aren't going to get 
shouted down for mentioning things like Punisher on here, 
you could probably guess that the average 313er is someone 
who likes a bit of the hard stuff when out in some dark 
sweaty club at 4am on a Sunday morning, but who generally 
looks for either a bit more funk or a bit more cerebral 
involvement from their electronic music.

I might be wrong though! Who knows what the hundreds of 
313 lurkers out there might be thinking? :)

i'd say it has to come from detroit te be called detroit techno [that is, 
that's the tendency i see all around].


(detroit) techno started with rhythim is rhythim, model 500, cybotron, 
innercity, etc.

that was called techno.

than ur, robert hood, alan oldham and jeff mills came, and took the sound 
into a different direction.

that was still called techno (detroit techno).

other evolved techno sounds from detroit are still referenced by many as 
detroit techno.


but how about b12, black dog etc? detroit techno? or something else?
ig culture, 4hero, maurizio, kompakt or playhouse detroit techno?

the way i see it, is that if it sounds like some techno (offspring) that 
originally originated in detroit, it will be called detroit techno. if 
however the evolved version was first released outside of detroit, it will 
not be called detroit techno.

RE: (313) Detroit Techno

2004-09-07 Thread marc christensen
The original question, IIRC, was whether Detroit Techno (as a term) 
brought to mind abstract, string-laden melodies (the kind that demand 
emotional as well as physical response) or 
abstract-minimal-but-bangin' nonetheless tracks like the ones that 
have long made Mills famous.


Of course, the question, what does Detroit techno mean today? is 
open, and answerable by all who care.  Whether they're Aril Brikha 
(not from Detroit) or KDJ (militantly from it, and of it), all who 
care contribute to the ongoing answer.  Which is why Detroit Techno 
as a term, like the 313 list itself, hasn't shrivelled into a 
too-narrow, too-precise, and too-uptight-to-have-fun genre.  (This 
is, BTW, exactly what Simon Reynolds continually argues about Detroit 
and Detroit-o-philes in _Generation Ecstacy_.  A big raspberry to 
him.)


But asking whether Hood and Mills count as mainstream Detroit techno 
actually pins quite nicely the *historical* (not 
present-interpretive) component of the question.


What if ALL of Mills' output is really taken as a centre or 
mainstream of Detroit Techno.  I mean everything from Wizard sets 
(which are contemporaneous to the prep scene in Detroit, and predate 
the very coinage techno as do the early works of Atkins, May  
Saunderson) to his work with the industrial Final Cut to his abstract 
soundtrack works to the hardest Punisher  Axis releases...   I don't 
mean to diminish the work of anyone else with this example, but if 
you consider Mills as the very centre around which Detroit Techno has 
whirled and developed, you get an answer that takes you back to the 
very beginning:


In the beginning, there was a crowd of kids who tried different 
things.  They experimented -- with analog synths, with turntables, 
with backtracking their way out of mixes, they tried on early hip-hop 
electro mixing techniques, and were driven both by the mad techne 
(technical wizardry, whatever) of pounding rhythms and by the desire 
to express something through machines, without recourse to what they 
clearly saw as limiting forms of balladry  storytelling in RB, 
rock-n-roll, etc.  They have truck with hard percussion stripped of 
all melody, and they put out lush instrumental soundtracks that sound 
like they come from American Minimal composers like Steve Reich or 
John Cage.  They try nearly *everything*.


Put simply, the *breadth* of the field, and the willingness to engage 
and invent, are what characterize early techno.  And I think, given 
the immense musical variety of those who still point back to Detroit, 
these things still characterize Detroit Techno today.


Please continue to discuss at length.  That's what this list has been 
here for -- ten years now.

I remember when I first came across that Flash guide to
electronic music that was put together by a bloke called

you feel quite disoriented and lost. Of course, that
*totally* missed the point, and I remember he was getting
so many emails from people on 313 that he even put up a
little notice saying if you're on the 313 list, don't
email me OK!?...

However, I do think that Hood and Mills count as Detroit
techno (obviously!) even though they're not what might be
called mainstream Detroit techno. One of the things I
most like about Detroit techno in general is the fact that
it's quite difficult to pigeonhole - you go to a Detroit
techno party, and you're going to hear a very wide range
of music as the night progresses. Most other styles of
dance music can't really boast that degree of internal
variation, I don't think.

 For my part though, the mention of 'Detroit Techno' always
 makes me think of
 the richer, funkier and melodic side of things - tracks like
 Amazon and
 Final Frontier are the first in my thoughts.  The likes of
 Mills and Hood
 wouldn't spring to mind at all, although I do love their
 earlier material
 and they are obviously just as much a part of Detroit's history...

Ken - my first Detroit party was the 313 5-year anniversary party in
December 1999, and the last was Monday night at the Werks in June
2003.  While I feel qualified to say what Detroit Techno means to me
(for me, the rhythms - that shuffle beat with lots of hi-hats, etc. -
is a key element compared to other music), I'll defer to the likes
of Yussel, Garrett, Dan Sicko, Ian Malbon and Diana Potts when it
comes to Detroit club music.

Alex - I've got several friends in SF, but I've never lived there
a day - I live in LA :)  While I remember The Units, I don't think
I ever saw them - they didn't play down my way too often.  I was
pretty skint in the late 70's Punk days so I couldn't get to 1/10th
the number of shows I wish I could've gone to ...

I assume you've seen

With all respect for Simon Reynolds, that boy was pretty quick to make 
that argument about any scene that wasn't grassroots or 'ardkore or 
working class enough for him (read: authentic).  Mind you, if you can 
keep his biases in mind as you read, the book is otherwise quite 
useful.  Gotta give it to him for attempting to write a history of 
EDM--however flawed.

Strings tug me (oo er) in every song I hear, not just Detroit, but I would
say them for Detroit as thems the things that remain.

But obviously Detroit is more than that.

Detroit for me right now as I sup some more dirty vodka = Timeless techno
that makes you wanna do stuff in life! Even write to a dude wearing a mask
in Detroit that you never met, and say thanks.

I was thinking about this the other night and it often shifts in my
mind but I'd say:

Detroit:
a) Strings
b) Melody
c) Funk
d) Jacked
e) Kick

These are not in any order but I'd say the strongest one for Detroit is
the strings, that's how a lot of people define it. I like all flavours
but sometimes see little point in just copying...For me techno isn't
about just joining the dots.

Cheers
Martin





 of?

 a) the hard industrial vibe hard music for a hard city?

 or

 b) the melodic mid-tempo beats of say, World to World, or Never On
 Sunday
 or something.

 Just wondering like.. I'm quite interested in what you think.
