First Tuesday curated with the Hastings Techno Militia, plus ScreenTalk with director Kristian R. Hill and special guests. On the first Tuesday of each month we screen a select rockumentary, keeping the bar open and the drinks flowing. For each event we collaborate with a local business, musician or artist.Don't get it twisted - techno is from Detroit! Dispelling the myth that techno is European, God Said Give 'Em Drum Machines is a compelling, vibrant and nostalgic music documentary that showcases the beginnings of techno music and how Detroit, Michigan was the creative and cultural hub for the creation and development of these beats.
This lively exploration takes viewers from Detroit to Chicago to London and Berlin, tracing techno's origins in the African American, and not the German, community. Focusing on the talent of a group of young Black artists, God Said Give 'Em Drum Machines is a compelling, rarely showcased history of mismanaged success, damaged friendships, ascendant beats, and raw inspiration.
Producers Jennifer Washington and David Grandison, and director Kristian Hill, shine a light on these young visionaries: Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Kevin Sauderson, Blake Baxter, Eddie Fowlkes, and Santonio Echols, whose innovation and artistry eventually became one of the most celebrated and profitable genres in the world.
