Real Scenes: Detroit

You can't talk about electronic music without mentioning Detroit. The city's DJs and producers birthed the genre we now call techno. Detroit, though, has always had a creative streak, due largely to the boom and subsequent bust of the auto industry. Quite simply, Detroit is a city of extremes, and its music reflects that.


For many, the legacy of Detroit is just that—a legacy. We've partnered with RA to bring you another edition of Real Scenes to destroy this myth. RA and Bench found a number of artists with their eyes (and ears) firmly set towards the future. After our time here, it's clear that Detroit will endure and innovate for years to come.
