of the electronic dance music is more popular than ever locked down social distance thing. anyone remember that now revenues even faster than before the pandemic, the scene has grown bigger, stronger, and more diverse. at festivals and doing clouds, everything is full on again, thanks for letting techno to have a lot of colorado because many things are possible. it's up to the teacher with the swing of even today. it's mainly men who are so full front of the tech. they've seen, but there was some legendary female details as well. the the, the magic, the music at the end of the social media defend base is growing rapidly. and there

is huge interest in the origins of technology. people are like the silver mile generated stuff. and i had to wait 30 years in order for a whole new generation to kind of come to it. you know now, now they're finding it the roots of tech now being re discovered how center prices it shows that 1st of all, we were ahead of our time, hours ahead of much to find out more about the history of the genre of we were in berlin where else, but the capital of technology, since there is no closing time here, you can party all night long of clubs like twice or more than 30 years after its founding to do it is still considered the at the center and best place of the to them as well,

the 20 fix know you come to despise. i think that the is one of the most the far sunset drive being viewed up is global tech. i think that techno was the force that shape berlin into the image that we have of it today. so the image was in 1989 before the full of the will fill in was a divided city in the socialist east, the states controlled and regulated almost all aspects of life. in secrets, however, the use of the g. d. stay tuned into what was going on in the capitalist west. here on the other side of the will and the inside of, of west berlin. people enjoy the special status and much more freedom. and he had felt isolated and cut off. it was actually very important

that the wall came down that that was actually more space in town. you know, everybody from east came to the cold us. what's happening then everybody from the west tried to start its own research and it was in that that's fine. in those days, so taking a rudy know what he can do me take him on and others of the westman and underground scene explode abandoned places in the form of food area that had lain center for decades. and we were really lucky to find a location that pools, very new located near the wall actually in the honda building. this building was in an area where and nobody could go even from the east side. it was like in this very close to the wall. so it was like, untouched over 45 years, technically literally took place underground in the basement, vault of a former department store was extremely loud music. and how to do that when we

opened it, it was the 1st day and it was really according to them that is usually close just as the top of the house didn't make it. but the tech know that was things of people lot and they were also ready to dance in for a long time. no one was really interested in way of the music came from all who was trying to sort j fluids and one atkins with the tang from the very beginning. many of them came from the declining industrial city of detroit and the us and they shaped what is now known as the sound of good and i, my name is blake rene, back in troy usa tech house, sol, capital of united, the

detroit as known for its also, industry music scene. it's also considered the place where the 1st tucker attracts, were created. this was awesome for glossing. you know, detroit comes and goes and comes and goes like, it's like, it's like a cycle. added the phone of the soul in the phone from detroit. the decline of industry in detroit and the doing of a new technological age inspired. juan atkins and other musicians in the early eighty's to experiments with futuristic sounds. the next europe and electro music with african american don speeds i guess the arrival of the technological revolution, so to speak. it was the industrial age kind of came to

a close and by detroit be one of the major industrial hurts in america. the city was kind of like just depleted because the robots took over most of the manufacturing jobs. they experimented with new electric sounds and was celebrated as techno rebels. even just the acute and later some, some more kids just tinkering with, with this new technology. you know, a lot of this was kind of spontaneous. i mean, nobody had a blueprint or a plan. i mean, we had a idea of things of what we want us to do, sort of like an experiment and you mix a lot of different ingredients and the results came out 10 times better than we thought it would come out in a change of location. berlin and an old hymns finished. he produced the music for the evening himself. oldham started out as

a radio host and the choice lay to illustrated for in the labels and became a ha my or it has always been the way it is. but it just seem to when techno came along, it seemed to fit along with the actual futuristic or the science fiction elements from the beginning of the ninety's island. old him got involved in the techno seen as a member of the d. j, connective underground resistance, known as you are no one man was bigger than the music. and the music, it was the message, not the person out. and we all had a co names and that i chose a to 1000 for my he was the cutting edge nano technology terminate. superior to arnold in every way. all right, so that, that's the, the basis behind the jamie, the

salvation in the disturb here in the world was how as an altima depicted techno in a comic book for the techno label plus age in the early ninety's. they asked me to do a comic book for their label. is like, hey man, you know, just come up with something cool. you are is there the detroit police are robots, but you are, hates the robot costs. so you go the others and the resistance group. they're trying to restart this thing called the random noise generator, which creates music, creates technical music. and they installed the device and then the, the random noise generator shakes to life. and then you see all the electricity and sound waves coming out of it. and here's all the sound waves tech now, and it's touching everywhere in the planet. that's basically what that was. this is

how in check the real. absolutely. but from from detroit, the, the hype around detroit funding theme assume that it's way around the globe, pushed by music freaks promises and much owls until finding a 2nd home in berlin. days from the us with floating in to get to cities don's close chinese. still the us seen, we made fun. the roots of india on the ground navigating traction in the main stream. so wanted to come up in europe. the white audience are, we're the ones who like techno, a lot of black people did not like it. they did not get it. there was no wrapping in it. there was no singing. it was all one thing. it was repetitive and repetitive proved to be the key to berlin. as hans technically became the new

sam track of the city, when it became berlin, then it became centralized. and then more detroit guy started coming over either to resort was that was crucial in this checking. it was undoubtedly a creation of african american communities across the atlantic. the fact that as launch the escaped public consciousness because it wasn't berlin, where techno found mainstream appeals i think it was the right for the lots to build up the whole culture of the job and they won't be very good pulse on dick was born in 1971 in an industrial town in the ged, off and grew up in east and then like many young germans,

he fell in love with the news phone from detroit. things and professionally. it's simple, really. i play the music because i love it. i'm a total fanatic of california. i think i really don't teach it because i can make any money when i tell me this might have been good for the income. the few years later, pulled from dick made his break through becoming one of the most successful the days in the world. and the money started flowing check know for the massive years before it was very slow. that was really not a real nice line. a happy night and when house came over as a talk and then technology was great. effect weekends with thing about 10000 people in building move from one of the other class. the rest of the story is that if we came to know and we tried john, i just came and filled

in on that too many people. they just wanted to see what you came to 6 months. but the 1st the, this is female detail like and then on in also start taking off. she's one of the most important representative for the bad and take those same to this day. the and on and produce is electronic music and runs the label. the pitch control table is like a 2nd time to pull. the roots are in hip hop box. the elusive, underground scene of techno fascinated head from the start to go far away from. i've seen twice the scene was removed because i could then for whatever i'm checking, i didn't know how to move because the facts from

d as in papa. and then after, while i just, that's how it can slip body 1st love parade marxist status of a new era for this on with what started with only a few 100 visits has seen through hundreds of thousands, many under the influence of the policy drug, ecstasy, rate is from the world as it came to berlin to be part of the spectacle. 1999 to an incredible 1500000 attendance. you know, back in the rain times. it was just a lot of drugs. the people do the parties, you know, whatever, whatever, but now it's the emphasis on community. it's emphasis on kind of leaving things better than when you found it. and i think that, that a lot of young people want to create their own spaces. and this is this, the soundtrack for the

so what does the tech know actually mean? to find out, we don't into the archive of used culture in buildings. clark's back district to documents fundings magazines post. as an more a compiled keeping the history of use and subculture in life this and this book on this from here i have the a tunnel festival program from 1990. you could say that this was maybe the 1st tech, no festival in germany to, for the, for the term techno occurs, but not so often how they talk mostly of house here. when i noticed that, but at one point they started speaking of the so called techno scene mostly and it was the word is in quotation on and so it wasn't get really clear what they really meant by techno, who was because i left them an understood mind as it has a different meaning for everyone, i mean, you know, techno can also be melodic and it can also be chill. but for me,

primarily tech no means more aggressive. techno is everything you haven't imagined yet. that's according to jeff mills, legendary d j. m is ition. polezza. yes. not quite answer. nice. so your husband looking full . she works at berlin's university of the arts and has been researching techno for several years. in german techno with the capital t has a huge meanings and umbrella term which collects, let's say, oh, underground events and music related happenings. and also the music itself is part of food that has something you can identify there. and you can explain is something that is underground, something that is locally organized, but this is a huge confusion, special and international circumstances. because an english sectional with another capital t means simply a stronger music genre. one of the genres of electronic dance music take well as i

thought a, as the media of the hops 1st and foremost, and it's a be in tech. no, it's harder, very close to the time. suppose it compared to how sites of tech know features less of the solely vote goes and go and is generally faster, harder and darker. how to do stuff. for some of the techno also means excessive drug consumption are very low, is the, this simplification of the club culture that it's just about taking dogs that it's just about had them this i'm going to skip isn't, but i think now on the 21st century, we cannot say that anymore. most of the people that they go out because of clubs, they go out because of the lineup, they go out because of the music, they go out because of the atmosphere. there was always this thing, this idea of which your think about what's going on here. you know, what's going on in the space. trying to connect with that and the way, trying to be not afraid of it.

the music has something real, but that kind of these are the thoughts to the type of machine. some it also has that kind of spacey sounds. lot of electronic music is based on the gear that you use. 3 or 3, a roland 9 o 9 process. then here's what's the v p m, and that's why it's called tape. no, because it's technologically advanced. gear is another one that's yet the one um cuz it all started in the underground way. he began spinning records in the 1980s. he's long since become legendary in particular, as seen,

but the status was never a big deal for him. my job is to entertain because, you know, i've come from it here where, you know, before the d, j was famous in this big days got on his out accolades on your job was to do is to keep the floor busy the board to keep people smile manual, happy in dancing, and a lot of that is do game meet up from when i 1st started these days, one. adkins doesn't only feel dogs flows, but also the foyer of berlin's venerable philharmonic. the actually, i had no idea that i would even be leaving detroit or going around the world, not from the underground to the 100 holes of classical music. this home festival brings together the entire spectrum of electronic music,

turning technology into high culture. the, it's the time it's come that this music is being welcome here as well. that's quite a statement. the ticket old built its own institutions. and now with a level where one set of institutions noticed this, the other and see like, well maybe it's interesting what you're doing and we're doing for the lights going it shows the 1st of all we were headed back house, i think, and it, and it shows this staying power because i had this vision of the future. this is kind of perpetuating itself now, because that was kind of the idea,

the well, the choice, african american communities of finding the receiving long overdue recognition for inventing text though the impulse and role played by women artists to create a scene is still under acknowledged and those who called tv show gave a feeling for what was going on in detroit at the time. it wasn't the b james who with the stars, but the don't. so is to go back and watch some of them and just see the outfits and see the dancing will always be extremely unique because that type of thing will never do. repeated it just and the influence that, that hit on generations will always be. and so anyone to look at them even then if they look at it and see some of the move to some of that they were doing it. oh my god, the,

the choice sound is funky. i don't care what they say. i notice is the home a techno and yes, techno was created there, but the house came 1st, then tech no. only now the question is, who did what? when and what did they bring to the scene? i got the biggest kick of flipping to record over but i thought how cool is that? because this is a real factory. now, this is not a fake factory. so they were really working on like the d j is f, a to end tables. oh no, it wasn't, nothing plugged up, but we looked like we would good when we looked like we would get i don't care what it is. every type of music happens because of some other type of music. film black to take no re examines the story. and also how nights the roll

women played in detroit. it's never one history. we're talking about thousands of different histories and stories. and that's how we silence out. people like the fear come into or the females, i think jason producers from that time because there's no book. so sources like this thing for their stories. so this is why i think it's now we are in this moment that to be has to push no further. their story is and not only who is asking the same people, what happened just some of the opportunities that were given to man, we're not given as well to women. and so we have to still kick down doors to make things happen. and we're just now in this last decade, getting the recognition that like we weren't there can call the detroit to talk to the 19 seventy's and eighty's told stacy how everything she knows. she quickly made a name for himself as a house d j and became pulse of detroit's queer music scene. the fact that they also had

a major influence on the development of techno as only now were you much i think what is happening that they're doing their homework and they're reaching out to, you know, says so thank god, here's social media. because at the time that i was evolving, there was no social. it was a paper flyer, a tx on a page or, or in a phone call. stacy, hey o has been doing producing teaching and doing radio shows for about 40 years. she's one of the few female teachers i've had to interaction to make a name for himself in detroit. and then and people are now taking an interest in what those on the other side of the atlantic were up to so many years ago. and not just any way, but in the cities most famous and in some is techno, except that time i need

a select few are allowed in here and that goes for everyone. even the days i know that it had a history and as well respected and you know that's, that's all i know. so my friends was, they found that i was going to be here. they just said it is the place. so i had no idea the dish these days, the billing club scene aims for more diversity in lineups. to restrict the real roots of techno and the whole spectrum of electronic music. you know, i knew of many things going on. but most of the time, things like this, you know, was all screwed to the man. and so getting this opportunity to come here to represent i'm so excited been in the city with tech know made it big,

has imaged as one of the most important music metropolises. in the world and stacy have now finally has the chance to contribute to is i want to tell a story to me, that's what the thing is about. and i think in a culture that again playing music, even if it's a set time happening in the world or within a city or even in your home, you put on use it to make the change your feelings aside. it's all about letting loose and feeding the moments wherever you are in berlin, the choice or anywhere else at the movement festivals. the best place of techno is we discovering its rates and celebrates electronic music. the,

a lot of the problems that you have right now by these quotes that are happening as a result for corruption. the tough way inside of the top. it didn't allow us to implement little, much of funding. i spent the last couple of years exposing dropped the countries the electricity sector. a courageous investigation revealed a complex network of the criminal syndicates. 77 percent t w. blazing as far sent

out, right. that's what makes life beautiful for the direct hunters. now these 2 car freaks from nigeria are ready to go pro. how many laps do they have to complete the? the 16 w? we're all set and we're watching closely. we all seem to bring you the story behind the news. we rolled about unbiased information. all 3 months done. what do you see? it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world. for in

a race against time. they are peers and arrivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it on youtube. dw documentary, the welcome to the 7 to 7 percent. the platform for advocacy. you to talk about the issues that are important to us. but what happens when your right to talk is surprised. i am michael t n on today's program. you want to focus on the freedom of expression and the young people who are fighting for the voice.
