Watch: Detroit – The Blueprint Of Techno
Detroit producer Terrence Parker today uploaded a 20-minute documentary from the late 90s which explores the electronic music scene in his native city.
Previously lost in a pre-YouTube black hole, and boasting a list of interviewees that includes Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Rolando, Carl Craig, Mike Huckaby and a cropped Richie Hawtin, it’s essential viewing, and yet another reminder of the city’s enduring musical legacy.
It’s also an interesting exercise to compare and contrast the content with Resident Advisor’s recent feature on the Motor City.
