1:30 pm
so i asked a little surprised. hi, i was shoving and i'm ready to dive into the hands of children to which you have you have the one the front porch and the i'm expected side to side. the electronic dance music is more popular than ever locked down social distance thing . anyone remember that now read news. uh, even faster than before the pandemic. the scene has grown bigger, stronger, and more diverse. at festivals and doing clubs, everything is full on again, including techno, to have lots of paul out across. many things are possible. that's up to the future . what's the story of even today it's mainly men who are the full front of the tech,
1:31 pm
the scene. but there was some legendary female details as well. the brings between the magic, the music at the end of the social media defend base is growing rapidly. and this huge interest in the origins of technology below 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 celebration is shows that 1st of all, we were ahead of our time, hours ahead of might to
1:32 pm
find out more about the history of the genre. we were in berlin. where else, but the capital of texas, since there is no closing time here, you can party all night long at clubs like twice or more than 30 years after its founding to do it is still considered at the, at the center and best place of protect them is meant when it comes to fix, know you come to despise. i think that the is one of the most the far sunset drive being viewed is global tech. i think that techno, what's 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,
1:33 pm
the state controlled and regulated almost all aspects of life. in secrets, however, the use of the ddr stay tuned into what was going on in the capitalist west. here on the other side of the will in the inside of, of west and then people enjoy the special spaces 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 through the cold us. what's happening then everybody from the west tried to started its own research and he's, it was in that that's fine in those days. so taking the rudy. no one can the me take him on and others of the westman and underground scene explode abandoned places in the form of wooded area that had main center for decades. and we were really lucky to find the location that was very new located near the walls.
1:34 pm
actually in the hall to fill in this building was in an area where nobody could go even from the east side. it was like in this very close to the wall. so it was like kind of touched over 45. you know, this will lead to place underground in the basement fault of the 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 things of people like that were also ready to dance. and for a long time, no one was really interested in where the music came from or who was playing it says or moves 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
1:35 pm
is now known as the sound of good and i, my name is blake rene. back in troy, usa the tech house, sol, capital of united. the detroit is known for its also industry and music scene. it's also considered the place where the 1st ticket attracts, were created. this has often forgotten you know, the to where it 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
1:36 pm
eighty's to experiment with futuristic sounds. they mixed 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 being one of the major industrial herds in america. the city was kind of like just to clean it because the robots took over most of the manufacturing jobs. they experimented with new electro sounds and was celebrated as techno rebels. even just a kid 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 an idea of doings what we wanted to do sort of like an experiment
1:37 pm
and you mix a lot of different ingredients and the result came out 10 times better than we thought it would come out in a change of location. berlin, on an old hymns finish saw. he produced the music for the evening himself. oldham started out as a radio husband, the choice lay to illustrated for any labels and soon became a ha my or it has always been the way it is. but it just seem to when techno came along, it seem to fit along with the actual futuristic or the science fiction elements from the beginning of the ninety's. ellen old him got involved. and the techno scene as a member of the d. j, connective underground resistance, known as you are no one man was bigger than music. and the music, it was the message, not the personality. and we all had called names and that i chose to 1000 for my
1:38 pm
he was the, the cutting edge, nano technology terminate. superior to arnold in every way. right. so that, that's the basis behind my d. j name the salvation in the disturb him weld was how i didn't all to him 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,
1:39 pm
which creates music, creates take no 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 house. 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. but plugging it in to get to cities don's close chinese still the us seeing 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
1:40 pm
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, you know, which was, or was, it 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
1:41 pm
it was the right for play that music that helped 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 to california. i think i really don't teach it because i can make any money when i tell me this might have been too good for the income. the few years later, pull from dick met is 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 the real nice line. a happy
1:42 pm
night and when house came over as a top and then technology was great. weekends with thing about 10000 people. the and building moved from one of the of the clock. and the rest of the story is that if you came to know and we tried john, i just came and filled in on that too many people. they just want you from came to 6 months, but the 1st the this is female detail like and then on in also stuff had taken off. she's one of the most important representatives for preventing taking their seemed to this day the and on in produce is electronic music and runs the label. the pitch control table
1:43 pm
is like a 2nd time to pull. the roots are in hip hop box. the elusive, underground scene of techno fascination had from the stopped by a golf highway up seemed close to the book seen most of the rooms such because i could then for whatever checked them. i didn't know which was the fax from d, as in papa as an after wire. i just, that's how it can somebody foster love parade mock this does have a new era for this genre. 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.
1:44 pm
1999. so an incredible 1500000 attendance. go back to the rave times. it was just a lot of drugs. the people that did parties, you know, whatever, whatever. but now it's an emphasis on community. and so 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 youth culture in buildings, costs back district to documents fundings magazines, posters, and more compiled, keeping the history of youth and subculture in life. this, this book on this sum up here, i have the a total festival program from 1990. you could say that this was maybe the 1st tech
1:45 pm
no festival in germany to, for the, for the term techno occurs. but not so often how they taught mostly of house here. when i noticed that at one point they started speaking of the so called techno scene mostly and it was the word is in quotation on. so it wasn't get really clear what they really meant by techno, who listed as an instrument, 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 the same color. so yes, so it's 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 a capital t has a huge meaning to number the term which collects,
1:46 pm
let's say on the ground events and music related happenings. and also the music itself is part of food that has something you can identify as are. and you can explain is something that is underground, something that is locally organized, but this is a huge confusion specially an 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 us the media of the hots 1st and foremost, and it'd be in tech. no, it's harder, very close at times. most like, compared to house sites will tech know features less of the solely vote goes and go and is generally faster, harder and darker how to do stuff. so 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
1:47 pm
just about heading this. i'm going to skip isn't, but i think now on the 21st century we kind of 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 reading, this idea of let's see, or think about what's going on here. you know, what's going on in the space and trying to connect with that. and the way, trying to be not afraid of it, the music has something robot that kind of do the thoughts to the type of machine. so i'm, it also has that kind of spaces. sounds lot of electronic music is based on the gear that you use through us. read a roland 9 o 9 process. then here's what's the v p m. and that's why it's called technology
1:48 pm
because it's technologically advanced. gear is on the growing. that's yet the one um cuz it all started in the underground where he began spinning records in the 1980s. he's long since become legendary in particular 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. all your job was to do is to keep the floor busy or to keep people smile. manual, happy and dancing, and a lot of that is do game made up from when i 1st started
1:49 pm
these days. one. adkins doesn't only feel down slowest, 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. it's the time it's come that this music is being welcome here as well. that's quite a statement of the technology built its own institutions. and now with a level where one set of institutions noticed this, the other and see like,
1:50 pm
well maybe it's interesting what you're doing and we stood for the lights going it shows day, 1st of all, we were headed back house, i think, and it, and it shows the staying power because i had this vision of the future. dennis 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 and 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
1:51 pm
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 be repeated. it is. 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 was not
1:52 pm
a fake factory. they were really working. unlike the d days after 10 tables. oh no, it wasn't, nothing plug. definitely. we looked like we were 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 we have to push no further their stories and not only who is asking the same people
1:53 pm
. 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 it a choice top data. if 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 is queer music scene. the fact that they also had a major influence on the development of tech? no, it's only now were you much i think what is happening that they're doing their homework, the 10 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 paper flyer, a text on a page or, or in a phone call. stacy hail has been deja in producing teaching and doing radio shows
1:54 pm
for about 40 years. she's one of the few female teachers i've had to erase and to make a name for himself in detroit 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 anywhere, 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 of. i had no idea the dish these days,
1:55 pm
the bill in clubs seen aims for more diversity in lineups. to extract 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 any calls, sure that again, playing music, even if it's a set time happening in the world or within a city or even in your home. and you put on music to make the chaise your feeling inside. it's all about letting loose and feeding the moments wherever you are in
