No offense to nobody but Kraftwerk is boring and it has no "feeling." we know kraftwerk is a one true pioneer for making new sounds electronic music on computers, synthisizers ect ect but I respectfully tell you that real electronic music was created out of Detroit U.S. Chicago House Music with a new melodic harmony Jazzy funky touch that was later introduced to the world. thanks to the inovators of this electronic phenomenon. Kevin, Derrick, Juan true legends of dance music.
Kraftwerk music has no energy.Its relaxing..What we listen to now is much more comparable to what was created in the USA..just because Kraftwerk used similar instruments and sounds does not make them the "Creators".Their music is not built for the clubs.I'm a DJ..I wouldn't play it..The Drums and rhythmic funk in Techno is what makes it hot! 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 you say you can't dance to kraftwerk? well the b-boys would certainly disagree with that assessment... hip hop culture danced there arses off to kraftwerk.... try youtubing: numbers - kraftwerk. see if you can relax to that. (or maybe even dance)
Kraftwerk was an influence..much like some others were..but what they were making had no bounce to it...what you hear today started in the urban areas in America...Like Jaun Atkins said Kraftwerk was"Clean and Precise"..They didn't invent electric instruments...Kraftwerk was one of many "Sources" that helped the Creators of Techno! Thats how music works....you get influenced!
@NICEisNICE well actually in point of order kraftwerk did manufacture there own equipment (namely electronic percussion machines) to produce there electronic sound, where as Detroit techno purchased there machines straight off the self.. ready made! but then kraftwerk were true pioneers and true pioneers are often required to build there own equipment to fullfil there vision.
Detroit wasn't merely inflenced by the kraftwerk sound, if you listen to J Atkins early work what you hear is plagerism.
@NICEisNICE .....I say plagiarism, what i should of said was imitation.. which is of course is fine. After all they do say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
The plagiarism only came later when Detroit started putting it about that they had created the electro/techno genre themselves. unfortunately the world and its dog swallowed this bullshit. but i believe that the truth will win the day.. eventually.
@NICEisNICE failing that, i suggest you youtube: man maschine - kraftwerk
lets face facts here. kraftwerk are the source of detroit techno. to try and pretend otherwise is just pissing against the wind. and as i've said before, rehashing that old bullshit that detroit injected some good old fashion funk, soul or any other form of that old black magic to come up with techno is just detroits way of trying to steal the thunder from the true creators. namely - KRAFTWERK.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you can't vote out the truth. in time this bullshit bubble will burst. techno's Detroit origins are a sham. kraftwerk is the true source of dance floor electro.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
detroit simply renamed a genre that was already in exitence, pretending that the music they made was somehow 'different' to what was already 'out there' is to strip the credit from the true pioneers who formatted the genre in the first place, so no matter how many times you praise there 'inflence' simply by designating there sound as somehow 'proto-techno' you push these artist into a no man's land of insignificance and end up robbing them of there rightful place as the true creators.
@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.
@MCVixenVee but detroit copied that 'soulless eurodance shit' which kind of begs the question - if it is all such 'soulless european shit' why bother to imitate it? why go to the time and trouble of recreating a sound that is so 'cold, soulless, shit'?
but of course the answer to that is simple - detroit knew a good thing when it heard it and the kraftwerk beat, far from being 'soulless shit', was the sound of the future.
@atlantichouseI bet you wasn't even a bystander in the emerging scene in that tiny, tiny, little piece of an island you call a kingdom. No matter how much you hope, pray, wish, you can't change or revise history! Even Jamaicans have had a greater influence on DJ/ Dance culture in the UK than any European could.
@MCVixenVee newsflash.. africa isn't the sole epi-centre of dance and music. The arts did exist before africa came on the scene. your be telling me next that european classical music was really in fact heavily inflenced by africa or the european folk music scene was in fact african all along. that tap dancing didn't come out of europes industrial factories no! it came from deepest africa. europeans have been producing and dancing to highly energized forms of music going way back.
@MCVixenVee I totally agree and another thing I noticed being a Detroiter and being naturally drawn to this old techno is how groovy it is. I think this has to do with how huge an influence the Funk Brothers if Motown are as an influence on everyone in the city.
@atlantichouseWhat's up with you! are you a racist? are you crazy? do you suffer from an inferiority complex? or do you have a narcissistic personality disorder? well if 'you' don't know i surely don't know. I know for a fact you don't know what your talking about. I know for a fact you wasn't there in the creation or formation of Disco, House, Techno, ect. the first truly danceable four on the floor forms of funky electronic music that emerged from Chicago, Detroit, NY.

@MCVixenVee It doesn't take a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon to realize that Detroit 'techno' totally ripped off kraftwerks sound. its not hard to dig out the evidence that kraftwerk were producing dance floor electro years before Detroit started to produce there own electro music (which amazingly sounded very much like the stuff kraftwerk had been doing for years) so quite how these imitators came to the conclusion that it was they who created this genre is beyond me.
@atlantichouse you're mixing up ripped off with INFLUENCED
sampling other songs or recreating the same sounds in songs isn't ripping off. think of how many musicans and artists inspire each other and are INFLUENCED by other bands and tend to have the same or simmilar sound in their music to what they listened to. they listend to soul and funk, disco and euro-electro-pop. they took from that and made detroit techno. their version of soul music. which IS different from euro electro-pop; Kraftwerk
@donotseemecricket and your mixing up the word influenced with plagiarized. detroit listened to kraftwerk (and new wave) and copied the sound. so of course they were influenced, but for detroit to then turn around and claim that it was they who come up with this new electro musical revolution and pretend that the like of kraftwerk were somehow doing something 'different' to what they were now doing is clearly an act of trying to 'rip' the credit (for the genre creation) from kraftwerks hands
so i don't think detroit can claim to be the creator of 'Techno'. How can they be if the genre was already in existence long before they got hold of it? That's not to say that detroit didn't do great things with it, because they clearly did. Its just that they didn't pioneer the genre. Detroit listened to the new wave electro acts coming out of europe, liked what they heard and copied this new sound that was pioneered in europe. thats why it got such a good reception when it came back home.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i have a problem with this whole 'techno's birth place is in detroit' thing. to me 'techno' is simply 'electronica' by another name and 'electronica's' birthplace isn't in detroit, (unless you count Laurie Spiegel) electronica or electro, or whatever you wish to call it, was developed in a number of places long before detroit got wind of it.
To my mind kraftwerk were the group who forged this sound into a dance floor genre. up to the time of kraftwerk, electro was still a work in progress.
@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.
Cybotron is fucking fantastic! Everytime I hear Daft Punk music, I think that they must have been influenced by Atkins. I've never confirmed this but I know they just have to have been influenced by Atkins.

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.
*****the best sound detroit , my from es mEXICO CITY DF* remember rave FANTASTIC FOUR *JUAN ATKINS ,DERRICK MAY *JEFF MILLS*KEVIN SAUNDERSON uuufffffff 1998 clu 303 mex cIty ,love love detroit
You know, house music started in gay clubs; but, honestly, I hate going into a gay bar just to listen to techno music. And, in the small town that I grew up in, it was that or travel 4 hours (round tip) for some dancing.
Ok, Ok, enough of this US vs Europe bullshit! Germany created electronic rock with Kraftwork but the USA created Techno, influenced by Funk and Electronic Rock (aka New Wave). And for the record, Hip Hop music started in Jamaica back in the 1960 when DJ Kool Herc was still living there. The culture started in America.
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
Agreed actually. In The Mix, they could have easily been accused of trend-hopping if it weren't for the fact that so many people credit them with creating the stuff that led to the genres they were remixing as. (My earlier comments were deliberate attempts to be annoying). Long live Atkins and Hutter!
Interesting doc, thanks for the upload. Juan Atkins seems to me one of the most underappreciated of American musicians, hugely influential and ahead of his time - - - magic
Wow! Everyone should calm down and take the music as it is. No colors on the music please. I'm from Detroit and I feel great about anything the city births. Lord knows we need all the positive things we can get. this music is fot the world to enjoy.
Being from the UK have travelled around the world, US also, and met many US DJs/producers along with other nationalities...
Your attitude sucks..it wasnt a black / white or anything else for that matter ITS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC YA HEAR!
I dont seem to remember meeting Juan Atkins and him not talking to me because I am white AND english...we talked because of the M U S I C Enjoy your next meet at the Black Panthers...
as derrick may says, people are ignorant, and even Detroit's electronic dance scene is pretty dead. its pushed to the booshy up-scale house scene, or the underground afterhours....go to all the main clubs, all hip hop.
Well the thing that I would say is that the matter of electronical music is that is an universal music. Is like say that mathematics we're developed by only one culture. Each one made his own contribution to develope it. That's the reason why we can found so much styles of electronical music like electro, techno, minimal, house, big beat, drum'n bass, idm, ambient and so on...
Yes in Detroit was developed Techno as an electronic music style. But don't forget that it derives directly form german, belgian and other european electronica. Also most of the technology used for made it come from Japan like one user says after me!
The developement of electro also derives from japanese 8bit computer games soundtracks!
I think that Detroit is an important part of the chain in the evolution of electronical music as we undertand today but not the start and fortunately not the end
Electronica is a media created term. Please stop using it lol. Techno came from Detroit's House scene which was influenced by Chicago's house scene. Kraftwerk were an influence on the Belleville three's work, but it was still a fully African American effort in its creation. Techno would have never have happened anywhere else.
"It seems like it bugs you to admit that African Americans created it!!!"
Yup, and that's where most euros won't acknowlege where most, if not all, of the dance music comes from. Just like most genres that black people come up with (blues, electric blues, dance music) black people develop it, play with it for a while, get bored and move to something else. I'm waiting for us to get bored with hip hop/rap.
Exactly, screw hip hop and rap...lol. Rock was started by blacks too. Also the black population of Puerto Rico or Cuba started Salsa which has more of an "African" sound than Rap.
Why does a kind of separatism have to always engulf this music. Sheffield,England and Brussels,Belguim and also Berlin Germany all have a major part to play in the development of this field. It's not black nor is it white,most of the instruments were conceived of and made in Japan.So fuck all you colour supremicists. It's music to be enjoyed,and a scene to be embraced. Detroit plays a major part in this.Let the mission continue......
ITs bands like Kraftwerk that inspired the likes of juan and afrian bamaaattaa.....with out there infuances music would be very different today. Who wants plastic pop music anyway ?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no, it's the fascination of those drum machines back in the day that inspired them. Heck, most of the stuff back then was more R&B based anyway and that isn't Kraftwerk or any other electro euro band's influence. You don't get "funky" from euros!
Yep, we don't have a culture. YouTube isn't an american idea. Yep, you're free 'cause we defend your sorry ass.
Stop talking trash about a country you know very little about. Or better yet, never bite the hand that feed you. Your cocky bs doesn't work. Go back to your third world socialist bs country and wish you were a citizen in the US.
Now this is too rich! A Luxembourgish talking trash. You better hope we don't fall because your defense depends on US. Your yurp bretheren won't help you (cowards). What's the population of Luxembourg? I'll bet you it isn't bigger than Houston, Tx. Ask yourself, does luxembourg really matter?
Guess where all your tax evaders hide there money. That's where Luxembourg matters. Now with Obama leading the country, we can expect a few more rich Americans to bring us their hard earned dollars.
But since you're probably living off welfare, you wouldn't know that.
I'm not luxembourgish, so that means I'm not on welfare.
Unline you, I depend on myself to make a living (which I do very well).
What will y'all do when that money is taken out in 2010, when our congress switches to conservative? Regardless, we'll be fine. We're more than tough enough to take whatever, unlike you guys.
Like I said before, you guys don't matter. luxembourg is like being the tallest midget. What's a luxembourg anyway?
I am pretty sure it has to do with the Racism in America and the fact the average American thinks Techno is from Europe. Detroit is kind looked down upon as this place that has no intellectual value. Yes Europe made alot of contributions but they also introduced drugs to the music, to many folks dismay.
in reality the pionners in electronica were european krafwerk, tangerine dream , but detroit define electronic music as techno , they create the style.
@peezhead nah, mate. You gotta expand your taste in music too. I may hate the state of Hip Hop but you can't just slate the music. If I hated Rock, I would've said "Rock sucks cock" but you don't see me complaining.
you made it to europe son

music does have a color. why you think in the 50's and 60's they called it race music. everybody but white folks create and steal. whites don't have a culture. there only culture is stealing. take a look at history. divide and develop off of what was created by other cultures. i can't what til it's your turn to burn. we're in a spell know but what until the veil is lifted

@VILKAZzzz I'm not sure what the track is exactly at 07:50 but he's bringing in E-Dancer "Pump the Move".
That track at 07:50 doesn't sound like the beginning of Pump The Move though...it could be at a higher BPM.

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.

Ok, Ok, enough of this US vs Europe bullshit! Germany created electronic rock with Kraftwork but the USA created Techno, influenced by Funk and Electronic Rock (aka New Wave). And for the record, Hip Hop music started in Jamaica back in the 1960 when DJ Kool Herc was still living there. The culture started in America.

Agreed actually. In The Mix, they could have easily been accused of trend-hopping if it weren't for the fact that so many people credit them with creating the stuff that led to the genres they were remixing as. (My earlier comments were deliberate attempts to be annoying). Long live Atkins and Hutter!

haikousei 3 years ago
Sorry this user say it before me :)
Well the thing that I would say is that the matter of electronical music is that is an universal music. Is like say that mathematics we're developed by only one culture. Each one made his own contribution to develope it. That's the reason why we can found so much styles of electronical music like electro, techno, minimal, house, big beat, drum'n bass, idm, ambient and so on...
And his own derivates.
Thahuthidjinn 3 years ago
Yes in Detroit was developed Techno as an electronic music style. But don't forget that it derives directly form german, belgian and other european electronica. Also most of the technology used for made it come from Japan like one user says after me!
The developement of electro also derives from japanese 8bit computer games soundtracks!
I think that Detroit is an important part of the chain in the evolution of electronical music as we undertand today but not the start and fortunately not the end
Thahuthidjinn 3 years ago
Electronica is a media created term. Please stop using it lol. Techno came from Detroit's House scene which was influenced by Chicago's house scene. Kraftwerk were an influence on the Belleville three's work, but it was still a fully African American effort in its creation. Techno would have never have happened anywhere else.

"It seems like it bugs you to admit that African Americans created it!!!"
Yup, and that's where most euros won't acknowlege where most, if not all, of the dance music comes from. Just like most genres that black people come up with (blues, electric blues, dance music) black people develop it, play with it for a while, get bored and move to something else. I'm waiting for us to get bored with hip hop/rap.

Exactly, screw hip hop and rap...lol. Rock was started by blacks too. Also the black population of Puerto Rico or Cuba started Salsa which has more of an "African" sound than Rap.

Why does a kind of separatism have to always engulf this music. Sheffield,England and Brussels,Belguim and also Berlin Germany all have a major part to play in the development of this field. It's not black nor is it white,most of the instruments were conceived of and made in Japan.So fuck all you colour supremicists. It's music to be enjoyed,and a scene to be embraced. Detroit plays a major part in this.Let the mission continue......

no, it's the fascination of those drum machines back in the day that inspired them. Heck, most of the stuff back then was more R&B based anyway and that isn't Kraftwerk or any other electro euro band's influence. You don't get "funky" from euros!

I am pretty sure it has to do with the Racism in America and the fact the average American thinks Techno is from Europe. Detroit is kind looked down upon as this place that has no intellectual value. Yes Europe made alot of contributions but they also introduced drugs to the music, to many folks dismay.
