Detroit
Where it was made, and the largest segment here. Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, who met around Belleville High School, plus Eddie Fowlkes, who says of the label attached to the other three that "it's four originators and not three". Cybotron from 1981, Metroplex from 1985, Transmat, KMS, and Underground Resistance and Submerge on East Grand Boulevard. Then the generations after: Carl Craig, Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Drexciya, Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Mike Huckaby, Kelli Hand, DJ Minx and Stacey Hotwaxx Hale. The city itself is here too, Hart Plaza and United Sound Systems and Eastern Market, because free photography of the originators barely exists and the honest answer is to show the place and let them speak on video instead.
