High Tech Soul: The Creation of Techno Music (DVD, 2006)

The music scene in Detroit has produced plenty of poodle-haired rockers over the years, but this documentary turns to the Motor City's influential, yet resolutely underground, techno scene. The techno movement blossomed in the 1980s, with artists such as Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig, and Jeff Mills crafting tracks that packed an energetic rush of bloops, bleeps, and beats. These and many other artists talk about the music and the scene that spawned them, and euphoric club scenes help illustrate the enormous popularity of these pioneering musicians.
