With all this talk about Kraftwerk, a lot of people seem to forget that there were also other electronic precursors who were just as important in laying the foundations for techno, including the likes of Can, Tomita, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Cat Stevens, Gorgio Moroder, Gary Numan, Soulsonic Force, Hashim, etc. All of these artists eventually influenced Juan Atkins and Derrick May when they created techno, not just Kraftwerk alone.

it's amazing how a dj like atkins can speak with so much knowledge of what he's saying. he's proud of his city, the one he's always lived in, and wants to stay there. five stars for the video and for atkins

What people dont realise arguinig is that, Techno split immediately as it was created. One came from influences of electro and then in went on giving birth to Model 500 & Drexciya. Second was the more jazzy and soul influenced: Derrick May & E-Dancer. Another was born from hip hop and house and became a genre of its own with a standart hip-house rhythm beat like Inner City & Technotronic. One more wave went more industrial way and had more ruff and acid sound - like Underground Resistance & Mills. And dont forget the minimal techno approach from Rob Hood. And thats only America.

As a student of architecture in Detroit I was always trying to break down the barriers around me... to see through the visual part of a building and see that the buildings had a history, a story - that people laid each brick and that people made these places a home and that eventually people destroyed those buildings brick by brick. It is interesting to hear or read about dj's in Detroit talking about the character of the city from their view and how it is inseperable from the music.

All forms of modern music are born out of the meeting of western folk-music traditions, the classical expressions which evolved from church music, and the roots of African/Caribbean music that stretch back in endless permutations to time immemorial. But ultimately it doesn't matter, good music expresses a human truth, and real truths are timeless and universal.

This is where we part ways because it was Kraftwerk that gave techno its core structure. The Chicago scene was house music which was a combination of disco coupled with the newer electro-led italo-disco. Whereas Detroit techno origins come from imitation of Kraftwerk and the New Wave scene of which Ron Hardy's Muzic Box was the key player in Detroit adoption of this new genre.

Not surprised by your reaction. Every time I mention Cat Stevens as an electro pioneer, a lot of people are shocked that a folk rock artist has anything to do with electronic music. To understand what I mean, just have a listen to Cat Stevens' 1977 track "Was Dog a Doughnut", which is arguably the first electro track ever recorded. It was way ahead of its time.

@atlantichouse Remember? Kraftwerk was heavily influenced by the Beach Boys, Psychedelic Rock, Walter/Wendy Carlos ect. All modern dance music has deep deep African American roots that extends way deeper than Kraftwerk. There's nothing about early Kraftwerk that resembles anything of Detroit but i do see the rhythmic influence that comes out of the history of Black music in Detroit Techno, and when i say Detroit Techno i mean Soulful Detroit! not that Soulless Eurodance shit.

I totally agree with your butterfly analogy in respect to musical influence (since the stone-age). It is only natural that the majority of musicians will follow the herd when musical style changes direction but surely as an artist you must agree that it is only proper that credit should be given foremost to the herd leaders for that change in direction. To do otherwise just denies the pioneering artists the true credit that they are due - don't you think?

@atlantichouse All forms of modern music has strong American/African American roots. Remember Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder,Manuel Gottsching, YMO ect was pioneering but they didn't create in a Vacuum or a Void and they most certainly was influenced by music of Black American origins. Even if on the surface the influences aren't apparent.

The energy of Techno was created in Detroit..there is nothing rhythmic or funky about Germany in the 1980's.You can try and dance to kraftwerk if you want!

NICEisNICE kraftwerk is soulless. The Detroit stuff is all soul. It’s that juxtaposition that makes it so dynamic. Disco was a genre that got beaten to a pulp, but I always loved it. I couldn’t understand why, at least as far as the great bands like Chic, Earth, Wind and Fire, and The Bee Gees, were/was suddenly so despised, and with a senseless kind of rage. I took it personally as an 8 year old. The fusion of soul, funk and the structure imposed upon it by the machines just sets my soul on fire. It’s got depth, intelligence, and reflects a fuller spectrum of the human experience than any other music. It breaks every rule, it is non conformist and at times ironically so. Wit, funk and passion moving freely within a calculated, rigid structure with flexible borders. Lots of contradiction.
