上周，当德雷克（Drake）出乎意料地放弃了他的最新专辑《诚实的，永无止境》时，互联网爆炸了，许多人感到惊讶，他搬到了科技公司的舞蹈方向上。
But the release of Drake’s album provides a reminder that so much of club music, including the machine-like beats of techno which often are associated with Europe, is rooted in the African American experience. In fact, Detroit in the ‘80s was the spawning ground for a movement that would reach far beyond Eight Mile Road to Europe and back again.

It was a mostly Black group of Motor City kids, influenced by everything from science fiction and the acid-trip funk of George Clinton to German electronic pioneers Kraftwerk, who took ideas associated with the European avant-garde -- from minimalism to industrial to "music concrète" -- and combined them with an often startling Afro-futurism that resulted in something uniquely their own. (Helping them along was a popular local Detroit radio DJ, Charles Johnson a.k.a. The Electrifying Mojo, who played everything from Kraftwerk to Prince, the B-52's and The Clash.)
虽然在家中很大程度上被忽略了，但底特律技术场景 - 包括内城，贝尔维尔三，地下抵抗，Cybotron，drexciya，500型等等，诸如欧洲盛开，在欧洲盛开，与芝加哥室内音乐一起盛开，受到影响新一代的电子音乐。从法国到澳大利亚的乐团与底特律技术创新者合作。
This underground musical conversation between America and Europe, Detroit and Dusseldorf -- what The Guardian called“文化反馈循环”- 没有达到美国大多数主流的声音水平，而是全球舞蹈音乐迷的大声而清晰。
This isn't just a matter of long-forgotten history. One of the world's largest electronic music festivals,Movement, takes place annually in Detroit，多天吸引了多达100,000人。直到今天，每当Kraftwerk巡回演出时，底特律总是on the itinerary. And, a half-world away, intriguing electronic music is being crafted by a new generation of Black performers in sub-Saharan Africa such as EA Wave, KMRU, Hama and Ethiopian Records
考虑到这一点，这里有15种值得调查的底特律技术行为。Click here for a curated Spotify playlist of Detroit techno，或在Spotify上搜索“底特律技术收集”。
贝尔维尔三-- The group featuring the three titans of Detroit techno -- Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, Juan Atkins -- that is credited with kickstarting the Detroit techno scene. More recently, they reassembled to work on a track with Depeche Mode.
杰夫·米尔斯：米尔斯通过与法国的蒙彼利埃爱乐乐团和区域乐团D'Avignon合作，改变了游戏，并扩展了Techno的声音调色板。米尔斯和梅还继续与墨尔本交响乐团合作。
内城：One of several post-Belleville projects involving Saunderson, the project enjoyed one of the biggest crossover successes in the Detroit scene with such sweetly melodic tracks as "Big Fun" and "Good Life" as well as, more recently, the steamroller of a dance track with Idris Elba, "We All Move Together."
Juan Atkins: Like Saunderson and May, Atkins had his hands in many musical pots. Yet he also released several influential tracks, such as “Track Ten,” under his own name.
德里克·梅：他的“人生之弦”曲目是这种类型的经典，在英国舞蹈俱乐部中受到了巨大打击。他还以Rhythim的名义记录了Rhythim。
Underground Resistance：一个由底特律各种制片人/音乐家组成的秘密集体，将科幻小说，社会意识和紧密的条顿人的凹槽结合在一起 - 并非一无所有，他们最好的曲目之一被称为“非洲裔阵曲” - 不可抗拒的力量。
穆迪：A current star of the scene, Moodymann (Kenny Dixon Jr.) crafts jazzy, souful R&B beats that feel like a throwback to another era.
Carl Craig：Craig是一位著名的混音（与Depeche Mode和Tori Amos之类的公司一起工作），发行了几张基本专辑，包括“ LandCruising”和“更多关于食品和革命艺术的歌曲”。像米尔斯一样，他还与法国乐团LesSiècles合作。
Eddie Fowlkes：这位表演者称他的底特律技术和室内音乐的融合为“ Techno Soul”。
Aux 88: This group's post-Kraftwerk rhythms are particularly infectious on "Electro Slaves" and "Step Into the Light."
Drexciya: Though their music was largely instrumental, the duo of Gerald Donald and the late James Stinson created a concept involving Black babies, whose mothers had been thrown overboard from slave ships, living underwater.
肯尼·拉金（Kenny Larkin）: While Larkin could be as spacy and minimalist as his co-horts, he also could be more traditionally soulful and jazzy as well on such songs as "Cirque du Soul" and "Flip Flop."
500型: Under this moniker, Atkins created some of his most Kraftwerk-inspired grooves such as "Time Space Transmat."
Cybotron: The collaboration between Atkins and Richard "3070" Davis resulted in the classic Detroit techno tracks "Clear" and "R9."
Robert Hood：Hood是地下电阻的联合创始人（以及Jeff Mills和前派对贝斯手Mad Mike Mills），Hood专门从事剥离，简约的技术风格。
