This is a video from a Detroit dance show of the song “Sharevari (The Scene)” by A Number of Names. Dan Sicko, in his book, “Techno Rebels,” cited this song as the first true techno track. I would have to agree. You can hear the influence of Kraftwerk in this track, but the minimal 4/4 beat and raw electro bass line is definitely a step into the future.
I love this video as well – the early 80′s fashion, the freaky dancing – it’s definitely HOT!
