“Real Scenes” is a series of films by Resident Advisor, supported by and conceived withBench, in which they explore the musical, cultural and creative climate within electronic music’s key destinations.  After Bristol, Resident Advisor went on a trip to the birthplace of Techno. 

Detroit, the city’s DJs and producers birthed the genre. Detroit, however, has always had a creative streak, due in large part to the boom and subsequent bust of the auto industry. Quite simply, Detroit is a city of extremes, and its music reflects that. Detroit’s importance in the global electronic music scenes is often referred to in the past tense. With the recent emergence of Kyle Hall and other young Detroit producers, however, it’s clear that a spark remains. When we visited, we found a number of artists with their eyes (and ears) firmly set towards the future. After our time there, it’s clear that Detroit will endure and innovate for years to come.

Watch: Bristol
