High Tech Soul: The Creation of Techno Music

I’ve been waiting for this docu to come out for a while. If anything, I offer it up here to those who ask me what music I turn to when I need to get my head straight again. A good amount of music will set me good but if I had to pick three right now, they would be the following:

“The Bells” by Jeff Mills is almost a cop out by me in trying to pinpoint what techno record really changed my life. “The Bells” changed my life when it was released but it is not the best techno track ever made. If anything, it was the first sign of a cataclysmic shift in the current (at the time) wave of techno and gives a very good composition of what is what.

Anyways, watch the film if you want some a better understanding of where Detroit techno came from. Don’t confuse it with house, please.
