Welcome to On Beat, my weekly space for music, musings, and parties in the Bay and beyond.
I’m in the bay regularly because my sister lives there! I’ll have to plan my next trip around one of your gigs. Also Imani Mixon, another Medill grad, wrote a story for the Metro Times a few years ago about the Detroit/Black origins of techno: https://www.metrotimes.com/detroit-guides/detroit-is-techno-city-and-techno-is-black-12291432
We should meet up next time you’re in town, man! Hit me up. Thanks so much for sharing Imani’s work. It was such a refreshing read.
So happy you are doing this! I often feel the history of house and techno get so lost. Know history, know self! No history, no self!
So well said, Edene! Thanks so much for reading. If there are parts of that history you want to know more about, let me know. I’ll definitely be sharing bits and pieces of that house and techno history along the way.
