"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. "
