Ranked No. 8 in Detroit Techno
Electro-techno from an invented underwater mythology. Anonymous, strange and hydraulic — proof that Detroit's imagination ran far past the dancefloor.
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — A Way In
Now the deep end. Detroit techno as science fiction, made by people who refused to be photographed and built an underwater mythology instead. Play it after Strings of Life and hear the same city thinking differently.
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — Detroit Techno
Detroit techno as mythology, made by people who refused to be photographed and built an underwater civilisation instead. Play it after the Model 500 and hear the same city imagining a very different exit.
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — Detroit, Heard in Europe
The strangest thing here and the one Europe held closest — the records found a home in Berlin as readily as in Detroit, and the mythology around them travelled better than any press release would have.
