Detroit Techno.
If you are looking for the skinny on the origins of IDM and Techno this
is the book to read. It is incredibly well researched and quite
insightful. Dan Sicko(pronounced SEE-koh) has been writing about
electronic music in Detroit since the late 1980's. He has put this
knowledge to work and created a book that in many Detroit artists' minds
in the single best tome on 313 Techno ever written.
He weaves 20 years worth of interviews, press clippings, and releases
together into a cohesive, elegant narrative. The book itself reads very
quickly, and is never tedious. While Techno Rebels is entertaining to
read, it is packed with information and insight.
While other dance music "historians" write books that get distracted
with musing about drug use, annoying pseudo intellectual/arty new speak
vocab, or a rock journalists slanted perspective, Dan Sicko hits you
with nothing but a straight forward, information dense, history on
Detroit Techno.
If you want to learn about the history on one of the most influential
electronic music scenes ever, you need a copy of Techno Rebels. Dan
concentrates on early Detroit and Techno until 1993. Sicko elucidates
the very early origins of Techno in the late 70's and early 80's,
Italio-disco, Shari-vari, Deep Space, Cass Tech...from there the
mid-80's with Metroplex, Transmat, KMS...to the late 80's Neil Rushton,
Final Cut, Interfisch records, 10 city...onto UR, Octave One, +8.
Sheffield Bleep...all the while the relationships and circumstances are
being clearly explained and described.
I cannot recommend this book enough. You really owe it to yourself to
pick up a copy and learn about this music. It is well written, it
presents an accurate history, and while being entertaining, Techno
Rebels will teach you a great deal about Detroit and the early origins
of UK IDM.
