It has been a while since I have time to put together a mix. This one is themed around my favorite genre and most painful points of my life. I remember being in Detroit and hearing “Clear” over the intercom in Taco Bell while ordering food through bullet proof glass. That is the theme of Detroit in general. Melancholy at best and a life or death struggle at worst.

I read somewhere that in the 7080’s, Detroit was about the only major metroplex that black folks had a widespread good future due the auto industry. Some of the children of that generation took the soul from Motown, bought synths and drum machines and turned it into techno.

This is my tribute. If you are “in the know”, some of the classics may be played out to you and some are only influenced by Detroit. This mix is aimed at someone who has never heard this music but you may find a good tune or two here as well. I hope enjoy. You can find out more about these artists here http://discogs.com

I kinda have been trying figure out if I wanted to post this or not. There is one song that I should have excluded and a bump in another mix. However, I decided the music is worth hearing especially if you like electronic music but have not heard Detroit Techno.
