  • Now , its a hit music ! 2012 is the sound of cybotron . Yup yup .

  • I agree 100% supermariosunshine64. This was the shit.

  • Thumbs up if you're from tergnier dans l'aisne!

  • The music of future ! Wait , wait, hum? I have a problem when i listen gaga, guetta and others loosers ! Very Nice track . Revival nowwwwwwww!

  • Mortal Kombat type music

  • I stell have tapes of mo jo and old school songs.

  • I know people love trippin' on this music, gettin' high I infer.

  • Slight tinge of Mortal Kombat in it lol, in my opinion.

  • Cruising Story & King summer of 85.

  • Thank God that we had that Detroit Techno funk as youngstas!

  • 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.

  • amazing.

  • only made in detroit

  • 2 thumps up for me .

  • 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

  • E X C E L L E N T

  • Detroit did it first.

    Goth kids just have a hard on for anything German. You know, like pooping on each other.

  • this shit is timeless. pure genius

  • 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

  • @nickernosher and any1 with half a clue about what im taalking bout and actually give a fuck about it would thumb up that comment above

  • @nickernosher or below lol,, never asked for thumbs before, dont care thos its worth it on this one

  • TECHNO STARTED WITH KRAFTWERK “TRANSE EUROPE EXPRESS” 1977. POSSIBLY EARLIER THAN THAT YEAR.

  • Thanks for posting. I can't find this version anywhere.

  • @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.

    techno's origin's came from kraftwerk.

  • @atlantichouse - not exactly a myth.

  • @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 but joy division never made documentaries claiming that they created the genre... unlike detroit.

  • @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.

  • A total Gary Newman rip off.

    when are detroit going to fess up and admit they didn't create techno but ripped it from europe.

  • Why haven't i heard this before!!!

  • riding around detroit when mojo use to play this and everybody in the city played the same radio station.........EPIC WIN

  • WOW! Grew up on this in the early 80's in Dallas!!!

  • coolbdown inc.

  • 82 trans am commercial thanks reich967

    /watch?v=YAJQBvs0lOc&feature=r­elated

  • 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.

  • this is the shizz!!

  • is this the 12" mix on Fantasy? or is it the 7" mix on 'Deep Space' as in the photo?

  • This is one of the first songs I play when I buy a car, since 1985.

  • 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.

  • this IS THE SHIZNIT!!!

  • holy shit. i'd never heard this version before. goddamn

  • "Sitting in my car, driving very far..." So hard to believe this classic is almost 30 years old!

  • A true Detroit throwback!!!!!!!

  • @motherofanactress Im from Toledo and MOJO used to bump this joint every night.

  • Who are those 2 people who don't like this?

  • 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?

  • Thi song makes me wish I was at the skating rink right now grooving to it!

  • 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 .

    Thanks from now !!! :)

  • Have not heard this in almost 30 years!!

  • This should have been on the Knight Rider soundtrack too!

  • Now that's a Classic :D

  • Real music yo . Thanks man !

  • bad audio great track 4/5

  • is this jam posted at 33 anywhere on here???

  • i assume this is at 45 rpm?

  • Yep...45rpm

  • @Chicagowax Mad respect for the founders of electronic music, and thank God we've come as far as we have.

  • @gkorein says 331/3 on the album

  • @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.

    i wonder who the true groundbreakers of now are?

  • @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.

  • 1984 no?

  • dope

  • Always rock this up in space !! !!

  • Tiga wishes as well!!! =P

  • Green Velvet wishes!!! lol

  • Wow. This song aint never gettin old....ever.

  • all time favorite techo monster jam!

  • Mojo would come on playing the B52's

  • 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 feel u man, the whole indsutry should go on strike,

  • hold on tight dont let go. dont say damn just say whoa.

  • ele..mojo 107.5 wgpr Det.MI

  • Mojo was the Man at WGPR

  • somebody should start hittin not that male dancin shit

  • MOJO used to play a song called Freak of week or she just a freak, does anyone know who sings it?

  • Parliament funkadelic.... i think it's a line from "knee deep"

  • Funkadelic.

  • 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

  • wow...

  • so oldsql, that's not futuristic anymore but it's funny and awesome.

  • 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!!!!

  • One of my favorite electro, and the crazy is thats from '88. Now I have my cosmic car...

  • 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 Did you say...Faygo red...MMM NOW ya talking!!

  • @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.

  • @elzmos I was in Toledo...remember Mojo shouting everybody all the way over to Cleveland & Grand Rapids, he had Michigan and Ohio on lock!

  • @chasebrown67

    I miss the Electrifying Mojo. The world needs people like him Now more than ever.

  • 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.

  • ALL I need now is a bag of better made chips and a red Faygo Pop yea i said it RedPop..just like the label said.... *waving the geek sign*

  • WHAT UP DOEEEEEEEEEE

  • The best electro track ever ...

  • if only techno sounded this good LOL

  • this is real techno! I wish people understood its not all about repeititve one bar untz untz untz untz.

  • @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 ;)
