ur a legend

@@imsiege NO HOPE NO DREAMS NO LOVE MY ONLY ESCAPE IS UNDERGROUND 🙌

sounds more like facts about his sexual assaults

@@sooperheep I was not aware about that at the time of commenting, what a shame..

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.

@MichXJdad ha ha eminem hates techno, he doesnt even realize that techno comes from detroit.... he is a fake anyway, and techno was here before him and will be here after he is gone... eminem wouldnt know juan atkins kevin saunderson or derrick may if they slapped him in the face, but some kid in germany, making music in his bedroom knows who those guys are

@MichXJdad yeah well i don´t like old detroit sound it sounded crappy to me then and now

Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now there was Detroit sounds since 92-93 here in europe,but appreciated in a different way than the Detroiters..

There is a big recovering in Europe right now ... I live in Antwerp and between 2005 and 2015 Techno was not popular .. all it was was Drum 'n Bass for a decade ... techno was popular from 1995 till 2000

before covid it went down every weekend, marble bar, tv bar, motor city wine, grasshopper(ferndale), the tangent gallery often hosted the interdimensional transmissions parties...

im moving from europe to the midwest in a few months and the lack of an electronic music scene there makes me really sad lmao

​@@theitechnomaster It is a pity, I agree. A lot of people really don't listen to music, they're mostly consuming it as a cheap product nowadays.

Thanks for your insight. It's interesting because most other cities would be aware and proud of what Detroit created. They'd know that the city was famous for more than car manufacturing and Motown. I'm from Manchester and practically everyone knows about and promotes all the great music that was made by people from here. 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.

Respect bro.. 👍Best regards from Poland 🇵🇱

I grew up watching RJ Watkins the scene new dance show I'm from Detroit so I grew up listening to this music

Yes SIR!!!

These various scenes from those days had a lot of common building block elements.

Yup, we are about to go through it again...new art and new music 🎶

And South Central LA

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.

Recommendations?

You’re right by the way, because people from Chicago will say that HOUSE is not EDM.

@@DiscoDashco "EDM" is one of those half-ass Tower Records/HMV/Beatport desginations.

@@Flashback_Jack Absolutely. EDM is just an umbrella term for people who can't distinguish between house, techno, electro, drum & bass etc and so they call it all EDM. Its an utterly stupid term and i hate it.

There are a few more. Find Hi-Tech Soul and Pump Up The Volume (History of house)

what do they got to do with this?

This is from Guy and Third Ear Recordings. One of the best UK labels inspired by the Detroit techno and house sound. Get educated, SON!

No your not :)

@@Rg-es9kv *you’re.

Jilbo2001 Thanks for the beautiful words x

You're very welcome. So many focus on the negative out of Detroit and don't take the time to see how much the city has to offer even now, decades later when things are grim. Have a safe and happy 4th of July Holiday guys. Way to keep the Faith! and keep doing what you're doing.

Drexciyas James Stinson never showed himself to the public. There is only one photo of him where he stands between all the other UR guys and he wears a bandana over his face. The same with Mad Mike the founder of UR, he was wearing a baclava for years and never showed his face to the public. 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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C-LoZho4HC8.html&ab_channel=Spelk

By ripping off technopop of the 70s but specially Kraftwerk

@@callactm14 what a dumb comment. I hope you're not a musician and I hope you don't use a fucking sampler you twat. Hardly ripped off Kraftwerk. More like influenced their innovation.

you wish LOLOLOL 95% of TECHNO DJ's come from Europe 95% of productions come from Europe 95% of labels come from Europe 95% of the large parties and techno oriented clubs are in Europe 95% of techno crowd is in Europe Still calling Detroit the home of techno because in the 80's 3 pioneers produced some disco/house influenced music and called it techno while it almost completely died in the USA afterwards only to claim 25 years later that you "own" techno? How delusional can you be?

@Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now All you proved is europe hijacked Techno, which they did.Because most of america didn't like techno

@@adolfhotline3300 Its where it started, that's why we worship Detroit. Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins -if it wasn't for those guys we wouldn't have our European techno. -What exactly makes you think I'm "delusional"?

@@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

@@adolfhotline3300 I forgot Robert Hood ...but that's all irrelevant: Detroit is the birthplace of Jeff Mills. Not only was he technically the most gifted techno DJ of the era, he also spun the best techno set of the 90's ("Live in the Liquid Rooms" Tokyo, 1996), and produced the most iconic techno track of the 90's: "The Bells". Also Underground Resistance were not "house/disco influenced" -and they influenced all hard techno producers back in the early/mid 90's. Let the Yanks claim whatever they want -they created the damn genre.

no good molly

Ich glaube wir haben's in Berlin bedeutend besser heutzutage

@W. Hermann I think we Germans are blessed with Berlin's techno landscape. Detroit has changed, no matter if to the better or to the worse and there are probably great clubs over there too but I doubt that there are areas like Friedrichshain or Kreuzberg where you can't walk 100 meters without hearing a bass line from outside.

in my eyes Berlin has changed allot too... people with lower income can't even rent a place anymore in the city... so it's become pretty much bandwagon and dog-eat-dog there nowdays

@@newkfromrotterdam that's what you get for openly overly glorifying your district - people wanna move there because they wanna claim to be part of it. Nothing special tbh

We tried hard to get an interview with Juan but he wasnt around the festival during the first DEMF weekend at all. No one that we knew had any idea where he was.. or they weren't telling. We know Juan's contribution.

@@313detr01t👍

I believe he mentions it at some point, the detroit central station

@@fuchsiafire6932 Thanks very much for that!

@@emkooda no problem dude!

Yea it's the train station, and Ford Motor Company is leading a $740M to restore it.

Thanks @@d_e_e_k! I hope they do a good job of it :)

Tezerah Jenson we produced this film in 2006 ✌️

Third Ear Recordings thank you!

+Mrstupidcommentbelow ive said the same... amsterdam is the next Berlin

u already are.

I hope that Berlin & Detriot will have a comback on the Techno style of the electronic genre and the whole EDM nonsense would end and the rise of the Vinyl format for DJ's again.

Techno is back in a big way, I cant speak to Detroit/US club culture but in EU Techno is here, EDM is dead as fuck outside of like festivals and shit.

You were huge in the early 90s. Your time has passed.

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

MacReady give me a shout if you find it il do the same it's so sick

@Arturmatik nobody "has" techno. Techno is not something you can buy or give. Dont be ignorant.

techno is not an invention in its final shape or form. It was created and perfected in a reciprocal manner in both Germany and Detroit over a prolonged period of time. Inception was certainly in Germany but the Detroit guys did early pioneering work as well
