About this Event

A documentary exploring the birth of Detroit techno and the artists who helped shape one of electronic music’s most influential movements. Through archival footage, interviews and music, the film traces the origins of the genre, following the pioneers who transformed Detroit’s underground scene into a global movement.

This will be a special screening in memory of Juan Atkins, who recently passed away. Widely regarded as one of the founding figures of techno, Atkins helped lay the foundations of the genre alongside Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson as part of the Belleville Three. His influence on electronic music is immeasurable, and this screening is dedicated to celebrating his life, work and lasting legacy.

A chance to revisit the roots of Detroit techno and honour the legacy of one of the artists who made it all possible.
