Detroit Techno in Internet
| Detroit techno music was originally thought of as a subset to Chicago's early style of house.<br />However, some critics believe that the Detroit techno movement was an adjunct to house music, named for the new style of music played at a Chicago nightclub called The Warehouse.<br />Although producers in both cities used the same hardware and even collaborated on projects and remixes together, Detroiters traded the choir-friendly vocals of House with metallic clicks, robotic voices and repetitive hooks reminiscent of an automotive assembly line.<br />Many of the early techno tracks had futuristic or robotic themes, although a notable exception to this trend was a single by Derrick May under his pseudonym Rhythim Is Rhythim, called Strings of Life.<br />This vibrant dancefloor anthem was filled with rich synthetic string arrangements and took the underground music scene by storm in May 1987.<br />With subtle differences between the genres, clubs in both cities included Detroit techno and Chicago house tracks in their playlists without objection (or much notice by non-audiophiles) from patrons.<br />Kevin Saunderson was born in Brooklyn, New York.<br />At the age of nine he moved to Michigan, where he attended Belleville High School in Belleville, a town some 30 miles from Detroit.<br />In school he befriended Derrick May and Juan Atkins, both of whom had been born in Detroit but later moved to rural Belleville.<br />At the time, the three were among the few black students in their high school.<br />The location of Belleville was key to the formation of the Belleville Three as musicians.<br />Because the town was still “pretty racial at the time,” according to Saunderson, “we three kind of gelled right away.” The rural setting also afforded a different setting in which to experience the music.<br />“We perceived the music differently than you would if you encountered it in dance clubs.<br />We'd sit back with the lights off and listen to records by Bootsy and Yellow Magic Orchestra.<br />We never took it as just entertainment, we took it as a serious philosophy,” recalls May.<br />Belleville was located near several automobile factories, which provided well-paying jobs to a racially integrated workforce.<br />“Everybody was equal,” Atkins explained in an interview.<br />“So what happened is that you’ve got this environment with kids that come up somewhat snobby, ‘cos hey, their parents are making money working at Ford or GM or Chrysler, been elevated to a foreman, maybe even a white-collar job.” European acts like Kraftwerk were popular among middle-class black youth.
