Given the power vacuum that existed in Berlin in the early nineties, a sense of anarchy prevailed, and this provided a fertile breeding ground for all manner of creative people and projects. New and existing music scenes grew quickly, producing some weird and wonderful blossoms along the way. Venues didn¿t have a closing time. Parties went on all night long. Nightlife existed as a parallel world. The artists from Detroit, a city just as broken as ours, brought over a new kind of music. Tracks with no lyrics; the bpm count marked on the record like a certification. After the miracle of German reunification, everyone dreamed of making the impossible possible. Meanwhile, the Detroit artists and the new musical genre they had created were taking the first steps on a path to unimagined success. (Regina Baer)
