Kyle Hall

For a city that has historically produced so much stunning, globally endorsed music—post-WWII blues, gospel, Motown, radical space jazz; The Stooges, The MC5, and late-’90s garage rock; experimental hip-hop and electronic dance music so revered that it’s simply called “Detroit” everywhere else—it can be one static and lonely place. There are no adoring fans, no lucrative residencies, scant local media attention.

This quote from an article in XLR8R magazine about Anthony “Shake” Shakir inspired me to write the first words I’ve written in a minute over here. Because it’s true — Detroiters can be the most ignorant about Detroit music in all genres in recent memory. And the media is partly to blame.

So I want anyone who’s listening to check out Kyle Hall (MySpace) who’s putting out some of the freshest electronic dance music you haven’t heard yet.

This is the kind of sound the rest of the world will be hearing for years to come. Detroit techno is not history.
