Show Notes
Hosts Nate Wilcox & Ryan Harkness mull the second chapter of "The Underground Is Massive" by Michaelangelo Matos which tells of the emergence of the first wave of Detroit Techno, led by the Belleville Three: Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson.
As May said, "The music is just like Detroit, a complete mistake. It's like George Clinton and Kraftwerk are stuck in an elevator with only a sequencer to keep them company."
