#JuanAtkins : Le #Créateur. #DerrickMay : L' #Innovateur. #KevinSaunderson : L' #Ascenseur. Ces trois #pionniers, et les autres, sont à l' #origine du #son de #Detroit et de ce qu'on va appeler à partir de 1988 la #TECHNO. Retour sur les #origines de ce son et sur les tous premiers #morceaux de #techno.
Pourquoi Detroit et pas ailleurs ? Qu'est-ce que la techno ? Qui a inventé le #terme 'TECHNO' ?
Passionnés ou simplement curieux ? Vous saurez (presque) tout sur la #naissance de la Techno dans son fief d' #origine : Detroit.
#TBT Heavy rotation on AOR radio circa 1980, didn’t realize they were #Detroit veterans. A bit generic TBH, but it’s well-crafted and the band has solid musical chops. Respect! 🎶👍😁https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pr5GJ7nU30
#FlashbackFriday (aka #TBT redux) #1962: "Remember Me (I'm the One)" #GordonLightfoot's first big hit. Top 10 in #Canada, also charted across the border in #Detroit and #Buffalo. Starts around 1:50. Lovely 🎶 🇨🇦 ❤️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmCarFE1NGc&t=110s
“At 3 p.m. Tuesday, the bells at Mariners’ Church rang out again — now chiming 30 times to honor those perished sailors along with the artist who famously memorialized them in song. Lightfoot made the Detroit church bells famous in ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.’ Today they chimed an additional time to mark his death.” #GordonLightfoot #Michigan #Detroit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIq1ELxH2do
“Tuesday’s bell ceremony was arranged quickly, and a handful of Lightfoot fans gathered outside the church on a gray, drizzly afternoon for the 3 p.m. moment. Among them was a bagpiper who was invited inside, where he performed a galvanizing ‘Amazing Grace.’” #GordonLightfoot #Michigan #Detroit https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/music/brian-mccollum/2023/05/02/gordon-lightfoot-mariners-church-detroit-bells/70175392007/
#TechnoTuesday There's been some silly debates lately about whether #Detroit or #Frankfurt was the first to call their music scene "#Techno". Hardly matters, tho, does it? Enjoy the beats, y'all! ⚡ 🎹 🎶 👍 😁 #Music #Electro #EDM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWPFrWojYQ4
#TBT #1980 Parents bought me my first radio in 1979, I immediately tuned in to #Detroit's #WDRQ and #CKLW and this is what I heard. IMHO It's not #YMO's finest moment, but for many of us this is where it all started. 🎶 🇯🇵 ❤️ #RyuichiSakamoto #YukihiroTakahashi #HaruomiHosono #YellowMagicOrchestra
#TBT #Granfalloon IMHO One of #Detroit's finest circa 1987-1992. Apparently they reformed in 2004, I didn't know! Very cool + eclectic proggy alt-rock, highly recommend their compilation "A Proud, But Meaningless Collection". 🎶 👍 😁 #Music #Prog #ProgRock #AltRock #RockAndRoll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqlgsRvcAQ0

Highly recommend "Cooked: Survival by Zip Code", an excellent documentary about the 1995 #Chicago heatwave that killed 739 residents over the course of a single week. We're already seeing history repeat, more often, in cities near us. #ClimateJustice #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Detroit #Michigan https://www.bridgedetroit.com/detroit-extreme-heat-flooding-climate-change/

#Detroit #Michigan #Music #Motown #ClassicRock: “By my early 20s I was traveling around the world, playing with Harry Belafonte, doing things that I never dreamed of doing. I mean, I always had thoughts of playing with the people I listened to on records, but I never really believed I’d ever find myself in that position.” https://www.metrotimes.com/music/detroit-drummer-spider-webb-weaves-a-tale-from-motown-and-beyond-in-new-doc-32182569
#Detroit #Michigan: An interesting approach to local broadcast news. Wishing them luck! “Because we’re always there, we’re the ones that will be able to establish relationships on a one-to-one basis with the civic leaders, the community leaders, the neighborood leaders.” https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/television/2023/01/23/detroits-cbs-affiliate-wwj-tv-news-broadcasts/69830403007/
“It’s super important to acknowledge those entities, those
ancestors that came before me. And I do believe that by
acknowledging them, they give us more power to stand up
and face all of these obstacles that are in front of us.” #Detroit’s #Waajeed on the January 2023 cover of @DJmag@mastodon.social #Music #Electro #EDM ⚡ 🎹 🎶 👍 😁
