## What 2 lists say

### No. 3 in [Detroit Techno](https://waxonia.com/genre/detroit-techno/)

Kevin Saunderson proved techno could be a pop song without surrendering the machine. Paris Grey's vocal is the human argument at the centre of the genre.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — Sounds Like a Single](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-sounds-like-a-single/)

Detroit techno behaving like a pop record and refusing to apologise for it. The genre spent the following decade deciding whether that was a betrayal or the entire point.
