Midwest Electric: The Story of Chicago House and Detroit Techno

Friday, June 17th, 2011 | Interviews, Sounds | 1 Comment

Although a lot of the early beginnings of Chicago house and Detroit techno are well known in Europe, it has largely gone unnoticed within the US for the past 30 years. So, it’s great to see Afropop Worldwide present a well produced documentary that sheds some light on the early scene and key figures of house & techno in Chicago and Detroit. The documentary includes an interview with Robert Williams, promoter of the Warehouse and The Muzic Box, as well as Vince Lawrence (founder of Trax), Juan Atkins and Carl Craig.
