Cycles of the mental machine DVD / Techno roots in Detroit

Last week we had the opportunity to watch the whole documentary “Cycles of the mental machine” by Jacqueline Caux about the Techno music roots in Detroit. Essential for every single lover of electronic music.

The Cycles of the Mental Machine chronicles the musical legacy of Detroit, Michigan’s ravaged Motorcity where the great tradition of blues, gospel, jazz and Motown R&B has never died. It also tells the destiny of the young techno artists whose musical counterculture rose from the rubble to conquer the world.

Guiding us through these “cycles” is the voice of the Electrifying Mojo, legendary DJ, poet of The Mental Machine and spiritual mentor of techno. Creative energy infused with unflagging hope keeps The Cycles of the Mental Machine on a constant spin.

Beside the interviews, stories the film also featured Tyree Guyten wonderful Heidelberg Project:

You can purchase the DVD via lahuit.com & of course Amazon.
