one for @blissblogger 's cultural war with detroit techno purists, which i find hilarious cos 2nd wave detroit could make a racket as much as the euros and londoners, even if that truth is unpalatable to british soulboys.




There's a real alien funk in a lot of this UR stuff, where it really does start to become distinct from A) first wave (which was a subgenre of house) and B) The belgian sound, which was all wagnerian bombast.

Safe to say i love detroit techno, but in a nutter way. Kevin Saunderson



hardcore, '88 style.

separate minds - first base

actually you could argue that this was the prelude to ur and the 2nd wave. a lot more industrial and a lot less housier than the music of May/Atkins. Sampled by Holy Noise on hithouse later of course. 1987 ardkore



I know @mvuent also somewhat dismisses detroit but you cannot dismiss this one bruv.

It's also why i focused on UK breakbeat techno more than stompy belgian hardcore. which i do like but it's very much of its time, amphetamine psychosis is no enduring grounds for aesthetic militancy really. Whilst I'm hesitant to call UR political (I think that's a simplistic anarcho/poststructuralist cultural crit reading) both the UK and detroit music from the time express the ruptured socio-cultural tension which you don't hear in euro as much, (which is not to sayit doesn't exist just less pronounced.) Much more designer. big studios and big rave arenas etc. So I do think yeah, the forward motion, the militancy of the music is down to considerations of economy. Whereas the trance from sven vath which came later, although it can be cold and intense, it's very much exclusively cosmic and not militant at all.

DJ Sy or was it easygroove played this in one of their sets.



pretty fast but very much open, widescreen. not militant at all, even in spite of the breakbeat which comes in later. too druggy for the hardcore/junglists, almost. And whilst I do have a soft spot for some of these tunes, I tend to agree.

I was thinking of this post, but reading back you did qualify with 80s detroit techno

great write ups but unfortunately 80s detroit techno is mostly superfluous to electronic music history. it's just a weird side show that a few resident advisor types have talked very loudly about since. chicago and nyc were where the really important developments occurred.

Not sure about it being superfluous though, more that it wasn't as world forming as people make it out to be. But world formation is what night slugs are about. We are all avant-funkateers here.
