Resident Advisor: Real Scenes - Detroit
For many of the folks raised in a generation where portable devices contained mp3s rather than CDs
For many of the folks raised in a generation where portable devices contained mp3s rather than CDs or tapes, Detroit is known as a cosmic wasteland. They’ve heard that it was once the home to shiny slabs rolling off the assembly lines at a torrid pace, but their eyes can only process the current decay. Resident Advisor’s Real Scenes, described as an exploration into the musical, cultural and creative climate within electronic music’s key destinations, turns their sights on Detroit. This nearly 20-minute profile paints a picture of past visionaries, as well as the up-and-coming talents who are quick to remind us that Detroit has never fallen off.
