Detroit Techno
Go deeper · 1981-1995
Underground Resistance's 1991 album is a manifesto as much as a record, laying out the political stance that defined Detroit techno's second wave: resistance to commercialization, and a fierce claim to underground autonomy. The collective framed themselves as warriors against "the programmers," their term for the mainstream entertainment industry closing in on the scene.
