This is the promo for an upcoming DVD release, We Call It Techno!, a documentary about Germany’s early Techno scene and culture.
Description:
We Call It Techno! tells the story of a tempestuous phase in music history, the first time that pop culture was created significantly in Germany. With exclusive interviews and comprehensive, mostly unreleased film and photo archive material from the years 1988-1993!
Incl. Statements from Ata, Cosmic Baby, Mijk van Dijk, Elsa for Toys, Hell, Mike Ink., Jürgen Laarmann, Mark Reeder, Tanith, Triple R, Upstart, Sven Väth, Wolle XDP and many more.
Not sure where the heck the statement about techno being “the first time that pop culture was created significantly in Germany” comes from – but it looks like it will be an interesting film.
These looks back at this stuff not only make me feel sad for those days, but god damn how old I really am. 🙁
BlueBrat –
You’re right! Damn – now you’ve bummed me out too!
I didn’t know that Detroit was in Germany! I suppose the old adage that you learn something new every day really IS true….
