‘Geektown Detroit‘ is a book project by German Graphic Design student Sandra Leidecker about early Detroit Techno.

For her diploma thesis at Bauhaus Universität Weimar she did interviews with DJs, producers and label owners from Detroit and all over the world to learn about the roots of Techno music.

She did illustrations of main characters, studio gear and places in Detroit.

There’s plenty of good stuff here for techno peeps and anyone else interested in the creative energies that flow through the city.

Italian Techno DJ Joseph Capriati recovers from a stab wound to the chest after a heated argument with his father. Fortunately, the injuries didn’t cause a perforation in his lungs. The confusing incident occurred last Friday at his parents’ home. It is not our business to delve into the family/private problems of artists, however, it is a painful fact not to have the support of a loved one. Of course, this is offset by the infinite love of his millions of loyal followers.

Capriati’s team recently confirmed his rapid recovery in a hospital near the city of Naples.

The Italian Techno DJ who resides in Spain, traveled to his hometown for the holidays to visit his family. Sadly, his reception was steamed with blood. So far, it is known that his father (a 61-year-old retired police officer) has been arrested for attempted murder. Justice will have the last word to clarify this unprecedented event.

Important update, Capriati forgives his father:

AINT is a promising new producer from London. He shares with us one of his recent Downtempo Techno cuts, entitled “Site.” From start to end, I would dare to say it is smoothly captivating. Without question, it has been designed to sonically transport you to a parallel dimension.

Its dreamy aspect entices listeners due to the minimal hypnotic sounds on repeat. Furthermore, you can expect a fusion of tranquil oriental-style Ambient music and futuristic soundscapes reminiscent of Vangelis. On top of everything, the artist also has a deep love for Hard Techno and Electro. This means he is on a constant musical expedition and beyond his experimental approach, variety always offers more advantages.

His influences range from Umwelt, James Shinra, Helena Hauff to SAAH, and High Future. AINT may not be on the underground music world’s radar yet, but soon he will bring more surprises to the table. Get more updates on his socials below.

Hurtr has been working their way up in the underground scene since 2010. The music production duo from Portland, Oregon just released “Nu Acid”, and as you can imagine, the title says it all. The seductive vocals from Heidi Hull merge with acid synths and pulsating beats in a hypnotic way. Consequently, this tune could transport you into another realm for just three minutes.

Evoking a sheer sense of joy with its progressive soundscape is the cherry on top. Likewise, “Nu Acid” aims to bring energy wherever it’s heard. Literally, if it doesn’t make your head bang, then nothing will. Throughout its dark and nostalgic rave vibes, these creative artists will leave you captivated.
