Real Scenes: Detroit from Resident Advisor on Vimeo.
There’s no denying that Detroit has played a major role in the world of electronic music. Which is why in the second edition of Real Scenes, RA and Bench went to the city which birthed the genre we now call techno.
Detroit has always had a creative streak, due in large part to the boom and subsequent bust of the auto industry. These extreme economic high’s and lo’s have always been reflected by the music that emerges from the Motor City.
“These days, Detroit’s importance in the global electronic music scene is often referred to in the past tense. When we visited the city, though, we found a number of artists with their eyes (and ears) firmly set towards the future. After our time in the Motor City, it’s clear to us that Detroit will endure and innovate for years to come.” RA and Bench
