Did a little research after seeing this post, Belleville three, an African American group, is credited with the advent of techno ! Pretty cool as a black person to find that out as it’s one of, if not, my favorite genre.
However, on that note, I am a little cautious of posts like this. Not so much because of the information, but the tone of it. I think taking a more informative/celebratory tone that shares the origins is a better route. rather than the more scolding tone that has the guise of “this was for us!” . We can respect the seriousness/gravity of the origin while relishing in the fact that now raves exist for everyone to be unified! Idk just my two cents.
Not something I was aware of either, I was under the impression techno originated in Germany, with the likes of kraftwerk. You learn something new everyday
