Music Tasting - Techno Day
Techno is celebrated today in honor of its founder, Juan Atkins, who was born on this day in 1962.
His first band, Cybotron, released an album in 1981. He released his own work as Model 500 in 1985. It was in the studio that he met Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, now known as the Belleville Three.
Techno has never really been my thing but I did get into KMFDM for a bit, which is considered a kind of industrial techno.
And when I was in high school, somebody got me into Lords of Acid for a minute.
And then of course, there was Burning Man.
There's no real escaping the techno beats out there, and we reached a point where it was soothing - we kinda missed it when we came home. Above, is Distrikt Camp - pretty much an all day party.
Their website has their music streaming.
And if I recall correctly, this was a traveling techno dance party. Picking up and dropping off.
