this is also great. the electronic dance music is more popular than ever locked down social distance thing . anyone remember that? now revenues or even banks have been before the pandemic. the scene has grown bigger, stronger, and more diverse. at festivals and everything is full on again, including technology, lots of how lot of cost many things are possible. it's up to the future. what's going on? i should even today it's mainly men who are the full front of the tech they've seen
7:31 am
. but there was some legendary female details as well the the, the magic of the music at the end of the social media, the fan base is growing rapidly. and there is huge interest in the origins of technology. people are like, discovery, my old generate 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 techno well being re discovered how center braces. it shows that 1st of all, we were ahead of our time hours ahead of much the
7:32 am
to find out more about the history of the genre. we were in berlin. where else, but the capital of tech, though, 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 protect them is meant to fix, know you come to this place. i think that the is one of the most the far sunset drive being viewed is global tech. i think that tech know what's the force that shape berlin into the image that we have of it today to the image. in 1989 before the full of the will building was a divided city. in the socialist east,
7:33 am
the states controlled and regulated almost all aspects of life. in secrets, however, the use of the g. d. o. 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. and then people enjoyed a 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's on the east came through the cold us. what's happening then everybody from the west trying to start it's its own research and it was in that that's fine in those days to take rudy. no one can they, me take him on and others of the west and underground scene explode, abandoned places in the form of wooded area that lay incentive for decades. and we were really lucky to find a location that pools very near located the other was actually in the hall.
7:34 am
the full 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 walls, so it was like, untouched over 45, you know, literally took place on the ground in the basement. salt 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 piece of music was just that happened at the top of the house, didn't make it up techno that was things like that were also ready to dance in for a long time. no one was really interested in where the music came from or who was playing it says, or j fluids and one atkins with the tang from the very beginning. many of them came from the declining industrial city of detroit in the us and they shaped what is
7:35 am
now known as the sound of brandon. my name is blake rene, back in troy usa, the tech house sold capital of the united states. the detroit is known for its also industry and music c. it's also considered the place where the 1st ticket attracts, were created. this is 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 or did so in the fall 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
7:36 am
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 to 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 to clean it because the robots took over most of the manufacturing jobs. they experimented with new electra sounds and was celebration 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 want us to do sort of like an experiment
7:37 am
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 finished, he produced the music for the evening himself. oldham started out as a radio husband, the choice later illustrated for indie 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 a bit along with the actual futuristic or the science fiction elements. from the beginning of the ninety's, ellen old him got involved in the taking a scene as a member of the deed, to connect to underground resistance known as you are. no one man was bigger than music and the music, it was the message, not the person out there. and we all had co names and that i chose to 1000 for my
7:38 am
he was the, the cutting edge, nano technology terminate. superior to our new in every way. right. so that that's the basis behind my d. j. name the salvation in the disturb you in well, was how i didn't all to him depicted techno in a comic book for the techno level 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 in the resistance group. they're trying to restart this thing called the random noise generator, which creates music,
7:39 am
creates techno 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 for floating in to get to cities done. so those 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,
7:40 am
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 check of the city. when it became berlin, then it became centralized. and then more detroit guy started coming over either to was or 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'd take no sound mainstream? appeals i think
7:41 am
it was the rightful play, the music and the last bill of the whole d. j. culture of the job and the technology stable pulse on dick was born in 1971 in an industrial town in the ged, off and grew up in eastern and 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, but 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 good. so do you come a few years later, to pull 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 real nice line
7:42 am
a happy night. and when house came over as a talk and then technology plus great effect weekends with thing about 10000 people involved in move from one of the of the rest of the story is that if we came to know and we tried john, i just came across from that too many people they just want you to 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 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 result
7:43 am
is like a 2nd time to pull their head boots are in hip hop box. the elusive, underground scene of techno fascination had from the stopped by a golf highway up seemed positive of seamless removed because i could dance or whatever, check them i didn't know which was the fax from the s. as in papa as an officer wireless i just, that's how it can somebody foster love parade marxist dogs 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.
7:44 am
1999 to an incredible 1500000 attendance. you know, back in the rain 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. 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, costs back district to documents fundings magazines, posters, and more compiled, keeping the history of youth and subculture in life this and this book on this up here, we have the a tunnel festival program from 1990,
7:45 am
you could say that this was maybe the 1st tech, no festival in germany to, for the, for the term tech. them occurs but not so often how they talk mostly of house here . when i noticed that, but at one point they start speaking of the so called, tech know, seeing mostly and it was the word is in quotation on and so it wasn't get really clear what they really meant by tech. know who was the status of an understood mind as it has a different meaning for everyone. i mean, it will take no, 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, that's not quite the onset annisa your husband looking for. 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. it's an umbrella term which collects,
7:46 am
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 either 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 captive ot means simply as on the music genre. one of the genres of electronic dance music take well as i thought, a estimate is on the hots 1st and foremost and it's a be in tech. no, it's harder, very close to the time. so mostly compared to house sites. so 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 excess of drug consumption. a very low is the, this simplification of the club culture that it's just about taking drugs that it's
7:47 am
just about had them isn't as confusing, 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 the sling. this idea of which the or think about what's going on. yeah. 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 to kind of do that. i just thought to the type of machines i'm it also has that kind of spaces. sounds lot of electronic music is based on the gear that you use. 3 or 3. the roland 9 o 9 fast doesn't honors, watch the vpn,
7:48 am
and that's why it's called technology. because it's technologically advanced, gear is on the growing. 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 seen. but the status was never a big deal for him. my job is to entertain because, you know, have come from here where, you know, before the d, j was famous in this big days, got all his out accolades, all your job was to do is to keep the floor busy or to keep people smile. man, you're happy in dancing, and a lot of that is due in me from when i 1st started
7:49 am
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, you know, 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 cultures. here's the time it's come that this music is being welcome here as well. that's quite a statement. the technology built its own institutions. and now we're at a level where one set of institutions noticed this the other and see like,
7:50 am
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 that staying power because i had this vision of the future doing this is kind of perpetuating itself now because that was kind of the idea the well, the choice african american communities are finding the receiving long overdue recognition for inventing text though the important role played by women, artists on the quiz seen is still under acknowledged and this is called tv show, gave a feeling for what was going on in detroit at the time. it wasn't the b,
7:51 am
james who with this does but the don't seems 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, look and see some of the mood for 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 techno. wow. now the question is, who did what when and what did they bring to the scene? i got the biggest kick of flipping the record over, but i thought how cool is that? cuz this is a real factory. now, this is not
7:52 am
a fake factory. they were really working, unlike the details as to and tables. oh no, what, nothing plugged up. what we looked like, we would good when we looked like we would get the 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. number one history, we're talking about thousands of different histories and stories. and that's how we silence out people like the career come into or the females to chase and producers from that time because there's no books or 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, you know, further their story is and not only who is asking the same people. what happened
7:53 am
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 and call the detroit to talk to the 19 seventy's and eighty's towards 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, the 10 they're reaching out to, you know, says so thank god, here's social media because of the time that i was evolving, there was no social. it was a paper flyer, a text on a page or, or in a phone call. stacy hale has been deja in producing teaching and doing radio shows
7:54 am
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 people are now taking an interest in what that is 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 is 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,
7:55 am
the bill in clubs seen aims for more diversity in line ups to reject 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 no made it big hasn't missed as one of the most important music metropolis is in the world. and stacy have now finally has the chance to contribute to it. 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 the city or even in your home. and you put on music to make the chaise your feeling side. it's all about letting loose
7:56 am
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
