This is the most comprehensive read on this highly misunderstood music style. Techno was pioneered by urban African Americans in the 1980s. This book covers the early Detroit Highschool party scene, late night Detroit radio (The Electrifying Mojo), the Belleville Three (Atkins, May, Saunderson), Jeff Mills “The Wizard”, Underground Resistance, the reception of Techno to European audiences as well as its neglect on home soil. This is essential reading if you are into the history of electronic dance music and especially if you are a fan of real true high tech soul.
