Here’s a little more Detroit techno getting a new makeover for the holidays. A number of Name’s “Sharevari” has been called the first Detroit techno record, pre-dating Cybotron’s “Clear” by a good two years. The tune was custom made for the local Detroit dance party scene, which fancied itself as an urban version of the mainly imaginary European club scene—all Morodoer-inspired glitz and glamour.
Detroit garage rockers The Dirtbombs cover this synthesizer classic in their own expectedly scuzzy way. And the video even pays tribute to Detroit cult classic TV broadcast “The Scene,” which clued in a whole generation of Motown’s ’80s babies to what was happening in the city after dark.
