Would you be interested in some Technoid Industrial-Noise ? Or some Ambient techno ?

[GagaISM]

As long as it's related to the Detroit Techno scene. I used to be a big fan of Industrial. So I'm pretty well-wandered in it's various sub-genres.

It's related to Techno for sure, not sure what detroit techno is about though.I Would say Richie is minimal techno and Plastikman is minimal ambient techno.

 

Anyhow some technoid stuff I think pretty dope

Yeah, all of the Red Planet releases are essential. I hold that label in high esteem. My highest recommendation as far as Detroit techno goes.

 

If you want more mellow infused stuff outta Detroit, I would first and foremost recommend Pod's "The Vanguard EP" and Derrick May's remixes of Sueno Latino which, in my opinion, are the finest examples of true to the form Detroit techno.

 

The Illusion First Mix is an all time favorite, and in my book the finest Detroit techno track ever written. The vinyl copy shouldn't be that difficult to track down, and it is well worth the hunt and whatever you may be paying.

 

On the other hand, Pod's EP was quite a pain to get. It took me years to track down a copy, don't know about how and where it stands today... It's quite an amazing item to. Very forward thinking.
