I played with Juan for a little bit as a kid. Right when he was about to put this out. Living in Ypsilanti MI. There were all of these good garage bands mixing funk, techno and R&B.
When this was played by The Electrifying Mojo, I'd sit up all night and wait with my fingers on the "record" and "play" buttons, so I could get this on tape. And I STILL got that tape.
Different era's create a sound. Most female artist today sound the same, a lot of the beats are the same. So if Kraftwerk and Cybotron sound the same, so what. One didn't rip the other it was just the sound at the time. Just as the British Invasion brought us an era so did techno-pop. Let's just ejoy it. Sheesh, now I gotta start the song all over again XD
detroit made diesle's then electro.. not the other way round.. it was there all along .. its an age old argument lol thats basically full of biast.. so if you think it originated in detroit, keep thinking that because its obviously what youwant to hear, if that make you happy then so be it.. whatever !!!! lol
@brooksmosher its not a case of getting worked up, i'm not having a fit of the vapours over here, smoke is not pouring out of my ears as we speak. i'm just spreading the word! most people seem to think that detroit invented the genre.. period. i'm simply posting across multiple vids to put it about that electro's origins pre-date detroit and that people should look into it themselves and kraftwerk is a great place to start.
@DJPsychoDTM you may need to elaborate on your comment somewhat as the random-ness of its nature has left me scratching my head as to its precise meaning.
@brooksmosher i didn't say that it was bullshit that techno injected funk and soul into dance music. i'm saying its bullshit that detroit injected funk and soul into the sound of kraftwerk to create techno. There is this myth that has grown up around electro's origin's that america took souless european electro-pop and injected some good old soul and funk into it. when in actual fact what they really did was to imitate the sound verbatim, as indeed we see in tunes such as cosmic cars.
@brooksmosher well i spent my fair share of 3am's in warehouses back here in london in the late 80s so i feel i do have something of an insight into the scene. for us the term techno wasn't used until the 90s, for us, it was acid house that was the electro (futuristic) sound of house for pure techno sound we would of simply called it acid. i'm not too worked up about it. i just don't like the way kraftwerk and electronic new wave are subtly pushed out of the story of this genres creation.
@brooksmosher ...talk about cooking the books. this is what i find so jarring about the whole exercise, the blink and your miss it chapter on kraftwerk and new wave and how they took that stumbling sound and improved upon it... how they injected soul into it (bullshit) and injected some funk into it (bullshit) when the simple truth is that they simply stole it. it was the new sound on the block and they just had to have it.. same as afriki bam stole it. it was the sound of the future.
@brooksmosher well in truth i have had my say regarding afrika bam who did indeed rip the sound of kraftwerk. but regarding techno, what is techno if it isn't electro, the two are one of the same thing. you say potato's and i say potatoes. and as for giving credit well.. every documentary that i have ever seen on the subject usually starts off by praising detroit influences has being soul or funk or house and then buried deep down somewhere in the documentary is the brief mention of kraftwerk..
@brooksmosher no i'd agree, the issue isn't the name 'techno' the issue is that the electro sound detroit adopted was in existence before they started producing it.. so my arguement is how could they of created the genre.
@brooksmosher Detroit simply were not doing 'techno' until they heard the likes of kraftwerk (and other new wave acts coming out of europe) being played all over the radio at the time and they then imitated this sound, now of course theres nothing wrong in doing that but the problem arises when they then claimed the creation rights on the genre... which is clearly bullshit.
I've always thought his song should''ve been theme song for the TV show "Knight Rider" or the background music for the '82 Pontiac Trans AM commercial.
We used to pop lock to this jam back in the day. Man I'm old. LOL!
@oldtimer1965 -you're not old dog,just wiser. were'nt those the greatest days too ever be a kid. i'm 44 and we would break & pop lock too all these classic hits back in the 80's.this was when you could battle cats without guns & knifes. our battles were on the cardboard. man it seems like that was 2 days ago,but actually it was 20 plus years. man i would'nt trade those days in for any amount of money brah i swear. today's shitty ass music does'nt even come close too the 70's,80's 90's music.
Thank God for pioneers like Juan Atkins. Music like this is what brought me through the war zone that was detroit in the mid 80s, and helped me keep my dreams in tact. I thank all of you pioneers of the Detroit Electronic sound that help me transcend the bullshit and keep my head up.
Essentially techo arose from NYC electro such as Planet Rock, which was an amalgam of American funk married to euro Kraftwerk vibes. Juan Atkins says this himself; in fact the early techno records were usually on NYC hip hop (now called electro) record labels. Early 80s NYC was the incubator for house, hip hop, electro, rap, techno.
@hardcorehouse , yeah to me, when i think of electro, i think of stuff like this...
i can understand how it gets called techno, but it seems more electro... i am probably wrong tho, i am no expert in genres, and i certainly dont know alot of the early artists work either. i can remember this from the breakdance class i went too, they played all different nyc stuff in 82-83, i was 10 or11. what artists were electro as opposed to this proto techno?
please send me the song to skywalkera@libero.it but this record of Deep Space cuz i cant find it .... only other versions but i like exactly this one .
Damn it all came back in a flash....Jehri Curls and Pop Locking....im in full mode now....some lays and faygo pop fruit punch....and my boys in da middle of the street stoppin tracfic with dance......good times...
This IS Detriots own here..Motor City Techno at it's best. I miss the days of real techno... gimmie back my 1200's and let me have my techno wax back.. I'll throw a flash back party and rock then new generation with the old school funk and techno...Long Live Techno!!
313..I'm not frm Flint or frm Detroit..I do kno abt Young Boys Inc. doe..I wasn't a member of any gang..I was jus sayin a phrase 4 da rest of the old heads
deff a DETROIT classic..the ELECTOFYING * MOJO used 2 play diz..thiz iz hip hop bcuz we used 2 break & pop 2 thiz..itz a Detroit thang !!! WAT UP DOE !! PONY DOWN..LOL
@810blk 313 and the 810 flint town pony down huh must now about the ybi and best friends then i take it, what about the parties thrown at the old packard plant or mack & bellvue, the pony downs were on 6 mile or 7 mile right
wow this is awesome, electro dark is in fashion once more! well done to juan atkins and richard davis both genius music producers, music of past now music of future
early 80s 313 music here i loved 2 bounce up n down 7mile east 2 west in the kitted up escort gt with this blasting lol, holiday hall was the spot 4 me good memories
We met Cybotron @ The Electrifying Mojo's studio, in Detroit-picking up some Midnight Funk Association swag. My niece was like, "You didn't make that." He was like, "Yes, I did." LOL.
Aight Im from D Town...and yall bringin back some straight up good memories...Faygo any kind (grape was my choice) and jelly bean shoes or Jingo Boots in the winter. (for my pop lockin) (funkateer)(moonwalkin) jehri curl long in the back to add to the effect of the head moves...lol BCMJ....Before MJ...days (Micheal Jackson) good good memories.....Chico Sticks and of course HOT JAYS
I grew up on 7 Mile and Conant and I longing for some Buddies Pizza and and I had a pair of jingo boots. Use to buy all my albums at Detroit Audio at Belmont Shopping Center. Used to go to the Wast Side drive-in or the Galaxy drive-in. But my favorite was the Bel-Aire drive.
Hot Jays, with an icey cold Peach Nehi longneck to wash it down! And u had to unzip the fur hood off your Max Julian jacket and leave it at the crib, or u might get jacked for it on ur way to school! West syde baby, Stansbury & W. McNichols
@kaadauwgg i cant read where it says that as it is too blured on my screen.... regardless what it says the speeed is , you can play the record at either speed, and it still sounds ok. although this is quite slow already, at 33.3 it would be a lot slower and deeper, it would be crawling along, ... i would imagine that this sounds quite good speed up too, esp if you could adjust pitch to keep it from chipmunking!!!
good stuff but eh!! i was 10 when this came, loved it then as i do now
@hoodwink808 blurred on mines too. I squinted for like 10 min. & I dj w/ alot of old records so I know where to look.I've sped this up at a party & YEP. this jams great at 33 1/6. 1/8th even.Like you say,but no chipmunking...less my mix calls for it.But This is the intended studio recorded speed.ask Chicagowax .Hey WAX?! Help me out...
@kaadauwgg up the top there chicagowax says this is being played at 45rpm.
either way it all sounds good to me.
it is quite interesting how music can go thru cycles of sounding new, then dated, then new again, so new in fact that people call it futuristic sounding, or confuse it with a contemporary work.
its not often that artists ge a chance to do something groundbreaking.
@gkorein this image is obviously a 33 1/3 pressing. The notes say both were published, and there's no way to determine what medium this was transferred from.
I sure miss listening to Mojo when I used to live at 9 1/2 mile road and Woodward. Used to listen to him on my crystal radio - before I got a real boom box. I long for those days, when this music was so fresh and real. Unlike today..
OMG!!! I remember listening to mojo when i was in high school im from Toledo OH and that was all we used to listen to.....im now 41, wow the years have passed....lol
On the porch @ midnight in the summer with all the kids out listening to MOJO pump this eating hot jays potato chips and sippin on faygo rock & rye. Memories!!!
Let's not forget the Better Maid bar-b-q skins and those New Era chips. All we need now is for The Scene with Nat Morris back on and the REAL Electrifying Mojo back on. Fenkell Down, West Side Sconies, 6 Mile Down, 7 Mile Down, 8 Mile Down, B Like Crew B.Ks, Errol Flynns, y'all know the deal.
THIS IS DETROIT TECHNO!!! This jam came out in 1982, along with Alleys Of Your Mind & Clear.....By the way: Juan called his music TECHNO! In 1982 there was NO such genre as electro....Stop it! DETROIT TECHNO....What up though? For those that know.......Now and Laters, Better Made chips & Fago!!!!
EXACTLY i knew Blake Baxter Proof introduced him to me they Juan and Blake all went to HS together in the 80's its no Ghetto Tec..or Electro it was called TECHNO PERIOD...EArllll Flyyynnnn
I KNEW there was a God, and He loves me!! This is what old school Detroit Techno is about. Man this brings back good memories. I'm from the D, and I remember when this came out back in '82. This was my favorite song. That's right, gimme some bar-b-q Better Maid chips and some Faygo redpop. Or Vernors when they made it right.
@kvtar That's whats up.Alot of people don't even know Detroit pioneered the techno sound.I'm right above you in The fly(Flint).I was watching my unc 'nem break dance to this in the drive-way on a big piece of cardboard.Some classics came out of Michigan, when I do the history, makes me proud.
i'm from "the D" but i now reside in philly. i'm gonna be home next wk for a visit, and the 1ST thing i do when i get off the plane, is make my way to the store to pick up some faygo rock n rye!!!! no matter how bad things get, it ain't nothin like my city. . . .
MAD MAD ups to The Godfather of Domestic Electronica, Juan Atkins. The brother was a visionary and his music is Timeless.Tracks like this gave (gives) me something to elevate my consciousness beyond the decay all around me in this (Motor)City of Broken Dreams. Respect.
@ElasticMinds actually this has a more electro clash / nudisco beat and feel to it. which in my opinion is just a reinvented form of a lot of the 1980's beats and tracks
@izzisdizzi Juan Atkins is considered one of the pioneers of Detroit Techno, and specifically his cybotron collaboration, sure model 500 and all that too, but this is the genesis right here for Detroit version of it. Bruce Haack is the real inventor of techno ;)
Now , its a hit music ! 2012 is the sound of cybotron . Yup yup .

I grew up on 7 Mile and Conant and I longing for some Buddies Pizza and and I had a pair of jingo boots. Use to buy all my albums at Detroit Audio at Belmont Shopping Center. Used to go to the Wast Side drive-in or the Galaxy drive-in. But my favorite was the Bel-Aire drive.

I used to like going to the Galaxy, because it was down the street from Brays, home of the greatest, and greasiest burgers in the tri-counter area.

@gkorein says 331/3 on the album
kaadauwgg 1 year ago
@kaadauwgg i cant read where it says that as it is too blured on my screen.... regardless what it says the speeed is , you can play the record at either speed, and it still sounds ok. although this is quite slow already, at 33.3 it would be a lot slower and deeper, it would be crawling along, ... i would imagine that this sounds quite good speed up too, esp if you could adjust pitch to keep it from chipmunking!!!
good stuff but eh!! i was 10 when this came, loved it then as i do now
hoodwink808 1 year ago
@hoodwink808 blurred on mines too. I squinted for like 10 min. & I dj w/ alot of old records so I know where to look.I've sped this up at a party & YEP. this jams great at 33 1/6. 1/8th even.Like you say,but no chipmunking...less my mix calls for it.But This is the intended studio recorded speed.ask Chicagowax .Hey WAX?! Help me out...
kaadauwgg 1 year ago
@kaadauwgg up the top there chicagowax says this is being played at 45rpm.
either way it all sounds good to me.
it is quite interesting how music can go thru cycles of sounding new, then dated, then new again, so new in fact that people call it futuristic sounding, or confuse it with a contemporary work.
its not often that artists ge a chance to do something groundbreaking.
i wonder who the true groundbreakers of now are?
hoodwink808 1 year ago
@gkorein this image is obviously a 33 1/3 pressing. The notes say both were published, and there's no way to determine what medium this was transferred from.

I sure miss listening to Mojo when I used to live at 9 1/2 mile road and Woodward. Used to listen to him on my crystal radio - before I got a real boom box. I long for those days, when this music was so fresh and real. Unlike today..

I KNEW there was a God, and He loves me!! This is what old school Detroit Techno is about. Man this brings back good memories. I'm from the D, and I remember when this came out back in '82. This was my favorite song. That's right, gimme some bar-b-q Better Maid chips and some Faygo redpop. Or Vernors when they made it right.

@kvtar That's whats up.Alot of people don't even know Detroit pioneered the techno sound.I'm right above you in The fly(Flint).I was watching my unc 'nem break dance to this in the drive-way on a big piece of cardboard.Some classics came out of Michigan, when I do the history, makes me proud.

@ElasticMinds actually this has a more electro clash / nudisco beat and feel to it. which in my opinion is just a reinvented form of a lot of the 1980's beats and tracks
izzisdizzi 1 year ago
@izzisdizzi Juan Atkins is considered one of the pioneers of Detroit Techno, and specifically his cybotron collaboration, sure model 500 and all that too, but this is the genesis right here for Detroit version of it. Bruce Haack is the real inventor of techno ;)
