A guided tour of Detroit

You can't talk about electronic music without mentioning Detroit. So Resident Advisor and Bench went to the city which birthed the genre we now call techno for the current edition of Real Scenes below.

"Detroit 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. These days, Detroit's importance in the global electronic music scene is often referred to in the past tense. 
"When we visited the city, though, we found a number of artists with their eyes (and ears) firmly set towards the future. After our time in the Motor City, it's clear to us that Detroit will endure and innovate for years to come."  Resident Advisor
