Please, allow me to introduce you to
Detroit Techno. Artist Derrick May once described it as "George Clinton and Kraftwerk stuck in an elevator." Despite being virtually unknown in the United States, this genre has achieved global popularity. Noteworthy artists include
Carl Craig, Sean Deason, Stacey Pullen,
Jeff Mills,
Underground Resistance, DJ Assault, Moodymann, and
Kevin Saunderson (among others). From May 27th-29th the city of Detroit will launch a huge
electronic music festival . It isn't something you see everyday in the U.S., so check it out. Here are some
o t h e r links.
