Method vs. Madness

The look, the sound, the moves of Detroit Techno during its birth. I love everything about this clip.

Sharevari is one the seminal tracks from the early days of Detroit techno. Released in 1981 by a pair of teens calling themselves A Number of Names, this track reflects the heavy influence of the angular sounds of Italo-Disco that were bouncing around Detroit’s teen party scene at the time.

Given the innumerable directions that techno music took in the decades that followed, this clip is a fun reminder of the music’s roots in the always-funky landscape of black Detroit.
