Adelaide Cinephonic presents: God Said Give ‘Em Drum Machines, an exclusive film screening of the story behind one of Detroit’s great contributions to world culture: Techno.
The electronic music phenomenon was created by Black artists in the 1980s who transformed dance music internationally from the Detroit underground to the multi-billion-dollar industry of EDM of today.
God Said Give ‘Em Drum Machines is a story told firsthand by the Detroit originators themselves, starring Juan Atkins, Blake Baxter, Santonio Echols, Eddie Fowlkes, Richie Hawtin (adopted Detroit son!), Mike Huckaby, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson.
Our screening will feature an exclusive Techno panel discussion featuring renowned Techno legends from the Techno capital of Australia. On the night, hear from Heath & Kathryn Roberts,founders of The Front Room – Adelaide’s biggest Techno promoter, Dr Cathy Adamek, who wrote the definitive PhD on Adelaide’s techno history, and finally scene legend Damien Donatois, the founder of Juice Music, the label at the centre of the burgeoning Aussie Techno scene at the very start!
This one-off screening is being held at LowLife Basement Bar (beneath Rhino Room) on Thursday, September 3rd.
Tickets are strictly limited.
