Now I’ve never been that big on techno, but I’d be lying if I’d say I couldn’t be bothered about it. So closely intertwined with the history of it’s homestead Detroit, techno music has always had a story to tell.

I didn’t know the term ‘techno’ comes from Alvin Toffler’s Future Shock. (you might want to watch the Future Shock movie as well – I see nobody commenting but I’m hearing you sampling cats out there, haha)

“High Tech Soul is the first documentary to tackle the deep roots of techno music alongside the cultural history of Detroit, its birthplace.

From the race riots of 1967 to the underground party scene of the late 1980s, Detroit’s economic downturn didn’t stop the invention of a new kind of music that brought international attention to its producers and their hometown.

Featuring in-depth interviews with many of the world’s best exponents of the artform, High Tech Soul focuses on the creators of the genre – Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson – and looks at the relationships and personal struggles behind the music.”
