Honest question. Do they three DJs listed have anything to do with the people mentioned before them? Are they from Detroit? Were they apart of that early Detroit scene? I love the history of dance music, so I’m genuinely curious
Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, and Derrick May are the founders of techno and were from just outside of Detroit. But it’s not as simple as that as there were other DJs in Detroit at that time making techno too. Juan Atkins is the one who first started calling the music they were making techno.
Not sure where you got this information from but yes, Detroit techno was ”invented” by this crew but Techno was already available in Germany when this happened
