*1999 · Underground Resistance · No. 4 in [Detroit Techno](https://waxonia.com/genre/detroit-techno/)*

The riff that a major label tried to buy and the Detroit underground refused to sell. Political history aside, it is simply the most physical string line techno has.

*1999 · Underground Resistance · Picked by [Laurent Garnier — A Life in Twenty-One Records](https://waxonia.com/selection/laurent-garnier-a-life-in-records/)*

A monument. Chicago house felt like a natural continuation of disco; Detroit techno broke the rules altogether and sounded like the future. And this one everybody played — house DJs and techno DJs alike.

*1999 · Underground Resistance · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — Detroit, Heard in Europe](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-detroit-in-europe/)*

A Detroit label's politics turned into a continental hit and then into a fight over who owned it. The record outran its own scene, which is the thing Underground Resistance had spent a decade warning about.
