When it was originally published inTechno Rebels became the definitive text on a hard-to-define but vital genre of music. Author Dan Sicko demystified techno’s characteristics, influences, and origins and argued that although techno enjoyed its most widespread popularity in Europe, its birthplace and most important incubator was Detroit.
In this revised and updated edition, Sicko expands on Detroit’s role in the birth of techno and takes readers on an insider’s tour of techno’s past, present, and future in an enjoyable account filled with firsthand anecdotes, interviews, and artist profiles. In this revised edition, Sicko delves deeper into the Detroit story, detailing the evolution of the artists and scene into the mids, and looks to nearby Ann Arbor to consider topics like the Electrifying Mojo’s beginnings, the role of radio station WCBN, and the emergence of record label Ghostly International.
Sicko concludes by rebele how Detroit techno functions today after the contrived electronica boom of the late s, through the original artists, new sounds, and Detroit’s annual electronic music festival.
Ultimately, Sicko argues that techno is rooted in the “collective dreaming” of the city of Detroit-as if its originators wanted to preserve what was great about the city-its machines and its deep soul roots. Techno Rebels gives a thorough picture of the music itself and the trailblazing musicians behind it and is a must-read for all fans of techno, popular music, and contemporary culture. Dan Sicko has written for numerous publications, including Rolling StoneWiredand Urband founded the early digital music magazine Reverb.
Sicko also gave lectures on the techno music scene and served as creative director for the Detroit office of Organic, Inc. Would you like to tell us about a lower price?

Dan Sicko deserves rebes here for being the first person to attempt to put together a definitive history of techno as a musical genre. Being from Detroit, his tecbno is his encyclopedic knowledge of the evolution of the techno scene techhno the Motor City. Although the ultimate relevance of some of the early material about dance parties and such is never adequately explained, Sicko reveals the early development of Detroit techno skillfully and thoroughly.
For some other aspects of the history of techno, perhaps a second book by someone else will be necessary. For one thing, once Sicko reaches the point in his narrative where techno becomes a “world-wide” phenomenon, his survey of its proliferation and evolution is sketchy at best, and misleading and partial at worst.
With the socko of some acknowledgment of the seventies techno-pop act Kraftwork, he shortchanges throughout the significant contributions by Germans e. He also has difficulty conveying what the music is actually like.

I realize that expressing the essence of one artistic medium in terms of another is difficult, but someone who has never heard techno would finish the book with no clearer idea of what “techno” actually is tecnno when he or she started. Still, Sicko is a pioneer here, and deserves credit for what he accomplished in this first attempt at a “history of techno.
Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. At times this book reads like a thesis, but Sicko does his best to present a lot of information in an easy-to-follow and cohesive manner as possible.
