Full of wonderful people and some truly great pieces of history, if you’ve ever driven through Detroit during the day, you still can’t help but notice what a bleak and depressing place it is. Since the economic collapse of the domestic automobile industry in the late 70s, Detroit has seen better days. It’s the poster child for depressed, post-industrial America. The recovery has been a long time coming, and it isn’t there yet.
But at night, it’s a different story. The seemingly endless miles of winding highway, the lights of industry that resemble nothing so much as space stations—at night, the place might as well be Mars. Driving through the city, listening to the Electrifyin’ Mojo on the radio, three teenagers from Belleville High School suddenly got it. If you drive the I-94 at night today, playing their music, you will, too. The music is of the place and the place is of the music; they are totally and irrevocably linked.
The sound of classic Detroit Techno is eerily detached and mechanical (influenced by the city’s industrial roots, as well as by synthesizer-based music like Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, the B-52s, Prince, and New Order), but it is also smooth and soulful, making the music uplifting and dark all at once. The characteristic sound of the Roland TR-909 drum machine and the synthesized string sounds created lush landscapes of sound; the underlying funky edge, derived from a love of Parliament/Funkadelic and others, gave the music an otherworldly feel. The moody, melancholy edge of classic Detroit Techno also reflects the city’s depressed financial state and expresses a longing for escape—the outer space, to the future, to anywhere. The mix sounds like nothing else on Earth, and it isn’t meant to. Detroit Techno has always had a strong sci-fi influence, and if you’ve been there, you can certainly understand why. The futurist writings of Alvin Toffler were a major influence.
Today, producers all around the world are working with the template of the Detroit sound, especially in Berlin, one of the first European cities to really dig the Detroit sound. But back in Michigan, a new wave of producers are still ticking along, still restless, and still innovating. That’s the great thing about the future—it is always in front of you. -

Great thread Paul, dark and dirty is my cup of tea. I remember finally persuading my old dear to get a new VHS player that had a slow motion feature, I recall watching the bit in Robocop when the baddy gets covered in acid and walks out in front of the car and his head explodes on the bonnet in super gory slow mo thinking WOW this is amazing.
Your timing is perfect as I will get some of these to help me grind up the Welsh mountains next week. Must confess to being a bit out of touch with the modern stuff so looking forward to what this thread reveals, am loving the Shed-Estrange and Pantha Du Prince ones, there's some good oldies on here too. And on that theme here's a couple of my favourites that I've uploaded to every mp3 playing device I've owned in the last 10 years and are my go to 'shit I'm fucking late tunes' when I need to engage cycling hyperdrive.
I've never uploaded owt from youtube on here before so hoping I just need to post link, here goes. closes eyes and crosses fingers

Oh and hearing that Advent tune reminded me of an old tune, I think it was one of theirs/his/her/its, EDIT, it was'nt, just found it, it was called 'one night in new york city'. Anyway for those than can be arsed picture the scene, I'd just downloaded it and it was amongst a playlist of tunes I'd done to have in the background when I had some pretty straight laced or prudish guests round, I can't remember who, it may even have been parents or something, they left such an impression on me I've completely erased them from my memory. So we chatting and eating, and this tune is on and the guests comment they quite like the sound of this track as it builds up, and the track gets to a bit when he meets a girl and goes back to her flat but then an almighty chorus, a Henry Rollins-esque (before the spoken poetry) bellow, along the lines of AND I FUCKED HER ALL NIGHT! and the girl is 15 or something. This shatters the conversation to smitherines, cue a beer exiting from the nose moment and a frantic changing of track amongst an uncomfortable silence. Ho hum, lesson learnt on previewing tracks before general consumption. Lame story bro, sorry way tl;dr, this thread just brought it all back, I'll get me coat later, in meantime where's the bar again < ^ >?
