Techno history


My main knowledge of techno comes from taking Alvin Hill's Detroit: The Birthplace of Techno class a few years back. Prior to that class I didn't even know that Detroit was where techno originated. This tune was my favorite that we listened to in the class, so I wanted to share it here!

Also, a key person that we talked about in that class and who I found to be a compelling figure was Richie Hawtin or Plastikman. We also got to see him perform live at Necto with the class. This documentary that I found is pretty cool, tells his story and talks about Detroit's role in early techno, the Berlin connection, etc.
