Techno was made for events like this at the vast industrial

club that is Fabrik, and with Derrick May, Carl Craig, Mad

Mike Banks, Kevin Saunderson and more spinning, it’s

going to be quite something.

Derrick May, along with his Belleville, Michigan high school

friends Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson, commonly

known as the Belleville Three, is credited with developing

the futuristic variation on house music that would be

dubbed “techno” by Atkins. His Innovator album is one of

dance music’s finest and, as such, he has been responsible

for bookings at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival with

Carl Craig in recent years.

Kevin Saunderson is considered to be one of the

originators of techno and his Inner City group became

known worldwide for house anthems like Good Life. He’s a

true pioneer who’s future music will come alive in the vast

innards of Fabrik. Mad Mike Banks has become known for

acid ouse and industrial music as much as techno having

co-founded, along with Jeff Mills, US record label

Underground Resistance and was a key player in the

second generation of Detroit techno.

Carl Craig’s work is integral to the progression of the

Detroit sound through the second and third waves. His

soulful, jazzy output varies from deep, sexy techno to

broken beat, proto deebee and his Planet E label puts out

some of the best techno there is. Rounding off this techno

heaven that is the main room tonight, is Octave One – a

group of American Techno musicians composed of siblings

Lenny Burden and Lawrence Burden.

There will also be two more rooms of Detroit Techno from

Bull Shit Bookings and Van Vas, including sets from Frank

Kvitta, Dj Lukas vs Obi, Preach, Rumenige & Loktibrada. As

well as great music there will be 10, 000 clubbers from

around the world, vibrant dancers, huge ice cannons and

more all to add to the underground party mix.

The two huge hangars of Fabrik – a purpose built club with

perfect acoustics and the most engaging and colourful

atmospheres of any venue around the world – make it one

of the must visit hot spots for any clubbing enthusiast and,

with the music on offer as hot as it is tonight, you’d be mad

not to.
