This Saturday at Tonle Wax, we explore the deep roots of American electronic music, but always with a purpose: to bring you to the very heart of the US house and techno movement. The night begins with the soulful grooves of Motown and the orchestral richness of the Philadelphia Sound, where legends like The O’Jays and Harold Melvin laid the groundwork for what would become disco.
We’ll move through the uplifting rhythms of Salsoul Records, home to pioneering tracks that bridged disco with the electronic future, before gradually transitioning into the rawer, more percussive styles that emerged in cities like Chicago and Detroit. Chicago House, with its stripped-back, jacking rhythms from Frankie Knuckles, Larry Heard, and Marshall Jefferson, was born from these earlier influences. And then there’s Detroit Techno—the futuristic, mechanical sounds of Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson—where soul meets machine and music became a revolution.
"House is a feeling. And that feeling will always start with soul." – Larry Heard
