....haa haa....let me try and change my pace so that some of you may better
understand me.
Nearly most of you, I have discovered, are young cats, save a few. Coupled
with the fact that nearly most of you are white, you only speak of
documentaries.....articles, interviews, books--all of which are secondary
information. How many of you can say that you went to basement parties when
you were younger(or whatever type of party) and heard the DJ mixing Pocket
Calculator or Numbers? Sure some of ya can, but how many can say I have
experienced underground clubs where brothers dance to Hip hop and, at the
drop of hat---"Jitt" to Techno...and then back again to Hip hop?..
What about George Clinton and the many bands which he influenced. Who
remembers his concerts when the entire place smelled like Dank, and black
lights, strobe lights and lights of all colors dimly lit the stage? This is
what Techno is all about, the past cats(people).... This is what Theo
Parish, Eddie "Fucking" Fowlkes, the ROOTS, Alan and some others tried to
teach the crowd at the DEMF...seems that few learned this.....by playing
older music...but still rocking tha Fuck out of me and all of you, they
attempted to show U that they are just teachers. With their Music as the
lesson and the Soul as the crux, they taught us many things...and its funny
when I think about it, because this form of learning(and also Dancing) goes
back in many African cultures and civilizations(Native Americans too, and I
met two cool ass Indian cats from Canada)....
Some Jose cat on the 313 mentioned a club called The Outcast......Thats
where you will find the true Techno....but with fear, coupled with white
anxiety....you'll never see it! and my message will seem and sound as askew
as all the other messages I have written.
Frisco(San Franscico)---it has its good artists, but these artists havent
went thru the same pains as Detroit artists(the tacit agreement by many
people to overlook the FACT that African Americans catch HELL in AMerica is
truly beyond me).
My apologies though, for my way of communication is not the way to teach
people. Me, angry isnt the word. Culturally plundering many of our art
forms--such as Blues, Reggae, Jazz, etc.....the Machine--if you will--has
ultimately controlled the distribution of music and thereby has adequately
marketed it to the younger white population and not the younger African
American population. It has grown exponentially as a result. But there
remains a few proud Warriors who battle the giant, never selling themselves
to the Machine....never selling out for the money, fame, glory, status and
or recognition, who I had the pleasure of meeting.
Galliant ass muthfuck'n NIGHTS many of you would relate to them as. They
know the deal.....and some of U others know but it, but its only a
few.......Now I hope all you treat this post as you treated all my others
ones, dont respond............Just read it..
p.s. I speak of Techno, not of what YOU call "electronic music"

I'm amused by this... just by reading a book or watching a documentary
you can get the full history of electronic music... i must admit both
are
good resources for what has occurred in the history of electronic music,
but detroit is NOT the catalyst for launching electronic music.
In fact, I'd tend to believe every section of this earth has had a part
in
launching electronic music... from the "techno pioneers" in detroit to
the warehouse and garage djs in chicago and nyc to the d&b creators in
the
UK to john cage in champaign/urbana, IL basically every section of
earth
has had *some* part in making electronic music what it is today.
A good article, which complements Modulations and "Generation Ecstacy"
is
"Think" by Ed Luna located at
http://www.ele-mental.org/ele_ment/think/original/think.html
Basically it says techno music started when we as humans started
interacting with our environments.
