Hi Tech Soul - Techno & Detroit Music Documentary (Part 1 of 9)

[mantra3000]

Why wasn't techno born in Le Havre then?

[JoddTamison]

they didnt really site being influenced by a certain race or culture or music, because most popular artists that have actually made differences usually dislike everyone in the world or most people, especially those trying to defend a certain culture or thing. Morrissey, for example, (very important in dance music) wouldnt not defent the middle age times or victorian times because the people of the time sucked dick. shakespeare would've said the same thing about the people before him, and so on

europe hasn't created any form of modern music so stfu

rock, hip hop, house, techno, RnB, soul, gosple...all american created by african americans. so all the metal, punk, electronica, funky house, and anything else they love in europe came form across the atlantic. respect your betters.

[NLGuppy]

@FullSwagSyceGame507

Sorry but in europe they created: Schranz, new beat, freakbeat, trip hop, psychedelic rock, skweee, indorock and Gabber.

but there are even more

@FullSwagSyceGame507

That depends on how you define WHEN the music originated. Rap music might be drawn back to flyting, which is a scottish form of peotry where you insult others. Rock music might be drawn back to european folk-music. Early jazz and soul is definitely influenced heavily by forms of African music. You also gotta remember that the United States of America has only existed in about 300 years. Music did exist long before that.

[atlantichouse]

@FullSwagSyceGame507 Ha Ha The European created Techno.. African Americans simply imitated the sound and then (laughably) claimed creation rights.

KRAFTWERK swung by Detroit back in what 1976/7? (i forget) on tour and then loe and behold a few years later Detroit suddenly invented Techno. WOW!

Research it yourselves if you don't believe me.. Detroits claim on the creation of Techno is pure BULLSHITE.

..and incidently Afrika Bambatty boy ALSO stole the sound of Kraftwerk back in the day.

[AhmedSomaliao]

@atlantichouse Just because the majority of the Detroit DJs happen to be of African-American decent doesn't mean you have to bring the race matter into subject. If you did your homework right and actually watched the entire documentary, you'll find that they keep mentioning Kraftwerk as the main influence of Techno. Every documentary about Techno spoke about how Kraftwerk were influential in the sound. PLEASE KEEP RACE AWAY FROM MUSIC...you racist!

[atlantichouse]

@AhmedSomaliao so why don't you flag up racist comments such as @Fullswags below who states that all music is from africa-americans and that europeans haven't created anything? why i'm i singled out for the third degree?.. (oh i wonder!)

i have watched the entire documentary and Kraftwerk is briefly mention but only after having to wade through loads of bullshit about how Detroit created it all really. i suggest you watch the opening comments 1:57 to 3:13 no mention of Kraftwerk there???

[AhmedSomaliao]

@atlantichouse That Fullswag person is clearly ignorant and has been disillusioned by a culture that thrives to keep him that way. But after seeing your page and what you stand for, you are clearly someone who sees and to go down to a level where you comment racism in music is what surprises me. A real music fan keeps race away from music. I don't know why is it so important for you regarding the Kraftwerk influence, will it change the essence of the matter and beauty of Techno?

[atlantichouse]

@AhmedSomaliao keep racism out of music? - ha that's a laugh - the rap genre is full of racism...

Your willing to dismiss Fullswag as merely ignorant and you offer him all the usual excuses.. that he has been disillusioned by a CULTURE that THRIVES to keep him that way.. So what the hell is that supposed to mean then?

and i'd turn the question around - why is it so important for Detroit to pretend that it invented Techno?.. again i direct you 1:57 to 3:13 - no mention of Kraftwerk there???

[atlantichouse]

@FullSwagSyceGame507 ..So basically dumbo... Europeans - far from not creating any form of modern music (as you suggest) - created the modern sound we hear today. African Americans simply stole it, re-branded it and passed it off as their own.

So you stfu and respect YOUR betters.

[askadetra]

techno is a derivative form of house music and uses complex beats and has freedom to use and combine elements from electro, synthpop, funk, hi nrg and jazz

[collegekid805]

Techno came from AMERICA. europe u should be thankful

[ABUpStart]

i got bored...

[uani69]

Detroit does look grim, great music but you really wouldnt wanna live there

[Tougemaster06]

Kraftwerk was an influence in the creation of techno. However, Techno is American and its from the black suburbs of Belleville, Detroit! 'Strings of Life' started it all!

[MrDungusamongus]

bullshit... techno was created by Kraftwerk in Germany in the early 70's. As much as I love Detroit techno, I disagree that it came from Detroit.

[bigalhouk]

@MrDungusamongus interesting mate , i'll do some investigating , do you have any proof , any other things on here ?

[bigalhouk]

@MrDungusamongus seems you are right , yer Kraftwerk 70's germany , Giorgio Moroder 70's Italy , Yellow Magic Orchestra - japan late 70's , then the Detroit in the early 80's

[MCVixenVee]

@bigalhouk 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 these influences aren't apparent.

[crazychadmb]

@MrDungusamongus Kraftwerk is Electronic music not Techo

[pageu304]
