I used to walk down Vernor Blvd from Mexican town under the bridge and pass by the old train station everyday to go to work. I'd then walk down Michigan ave until I got to Woodward ave. Sometimes I would even walk from E Grand ave, from Submerge all the way back to Clark Park in Mexican town. Ahh those days were good. The humidity in the summer, and at dusk the glow bugs would come out Such a sight to see.

I have been listening to Techno and its many following sub genres since I was 6 years old... and while it's quite spontaneous to mistify the past from the present days, it really hits you how Techno came to be from such a struggle, something I had no idea about, because I simply wasn't there, in that reality. And even if I wish I was there, the real people would say "No you wouldn't have wished for it, it wasn't fun". Except that later it became fun. Is it like a rule that most of the beautiful art comes out from suffering? It really makes you wonder.

When I think of Detroit techno, I imagine all the factory electronics and machines, no longer driven by authoritative Capital motives, gaining a life of their own and imagining a new purpose for themselves. Even though their calculated movements and industrial sounds haven’t changed, they now combine themselves to create a new fantasy world free from the pre-determined goals of material production. It says a lot that some of the most soulful and spiritual music has spawned from the ruins of the American dream. Apparently, we first need the system to fail before we’re able to imagine something greater and more beautiful. Does Capitalist prosperity limit our inspiration? Are we distracted from our roots by the 9-5 life? Can we not imagine a better world without it needing to be destroyed first? These are some questions rising up in me after watching this amazing documentary.

It's very interesting. Techno has never gained much popularity in the US while remaining undergoun music. But Europe was crazy about it. The peak period of popularity of techno in Europe is the second half of the 90s. More or less since 2003, techno has started losing popularity. Now it is slowly recovering.

@adolfhotline3300 4 жыл бұрын

it has been recovering in Europe since early 2000's. First Berlin/Germany, then UK, then Holland/Belgium and afterwards France/Italy. All with their own interpretation of old techno in a new way. Now evolved to a MEGA popular scene and electronic genre in Europe.

I moved to the US from Europe a few years ago and was astonished by the fact that barely anyone listens to electronic music here. I'm a producer myself, but it's basically impossible to find other electronic music producers in the area. I currently live in West Michigan now and it's like people only know about 4 genres: rock, hip hop, r&b and country. I remember Kevin Saunderson playing in Sarajevo (Bosnia) in mid 2000s and he was basically a superstar over there. Here in Michigan, I am yet to meet a single person who is aware that Detroit had world-known names like Saunderson or Derrick May. I know that situation in Detroit is probably better as it's an urban area but it doesn't seem like people really appreciate the fact that it was the incubator of such a wonderful music genre. The first thing I did when I moved was to visit Detroit downtown area and walk around the city to get the feeling of what inspired all the cool artists from that era.

Those early Detroit Techno pioneers have made such a massive impact on music around the globe. They were responsible for originating something that's still relevant today.

I have watched this a couple of times. It is true, the music reflects the environment and even goes beyond it. Carl talks about lines of buildings and baselines etc. Those 'boxes', he talks about, with one button techno tracks are just the opposite of this kind of inspiration. The mood takes you to another place, your fingers express artistry mediated through high-tech kit. A lot of people don't understand this. Music is a metaphor for life.

There is one interview of James Stinson on some radio station from 2002 - a few months before his death at the age of 33. I know a guy who was in email contact with him and he knew that he was gonna die, due to heart complications, thats why he gave suddenly interviews and released SEVEN albums called - "the seven storms". He wanted to provide some money for his four children before his death. Here is the link to the interview: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZN8or2Z1Jqsc2w.html&ab_channel=Spelk

@@D3cyTH3r well, the original Detroit techno sound was actually much more house/disco influenced (Big Fun is a good example) but i'm not denying that Detroit played a large role in the inception of house music and those guys were pioneers. Not specifically aimed at you, but i hate Americans who now "claim" the techno culture because of some things that happened there 25-30 years ago in 1 American city. It died in the USA pretty much completely and 25-30 years later, after Europe made it into a massive scene, Americans need to stop claiming it. No disrespect to the original Detroit scene because they were important however its now LONG gone. The thing i'm afraid of is that techno will be ruined, same as house music, with the commercial repositioning of this genre in the USA. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a techno snob who thinks only Europeans have right to this music but i'm very much afraid that techno will end up as house; commercialized EDM garbage made for the (sorry to say) US main crowd who are completely ignorant of and clueless with regard to this music. It's happening already with techno (since 2-3 years) becoming mainstage at Tomorrowland, Ultra, EDC etc. It would break my heart to see such a great genre of electronic music (my favourite) going down the same drain as what once was great house music (before EDM set foot in the USA). A USA crowd that truly understands and appreciates techno without raping it is more than welcome of course. But i hope it will remain more underground in the USA

Got to 18:30 and understood your desperation, what a tune! Took me a minute but found it and I'm so glad! Track is called Got A Message (DJ Sneak's Messenger Mix). Remastered in 2015. Much love
