TONIGHT, High Tech Soul is back! Join us at the second event of our monthly series! The opening party in February was a night to remember. It was an amazing and humbling experience to see that so many people in Bangkok share our love for Detroit techno. The turntables were switched on until the early hours of next day. And even then, people were demanding more! What is High Tech Soul? Detroit is one of the key building blocks of electronic dance music. It’s here where Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May invented what later would be known as techno. The list of notable artists from Detroit is long. Among them are world famous DJs and producers like Jeff Mills, Robert Hood and Carl Craig. The sound of Detroit is an intoxicating blend of drums, basslines and funky grooves. It’s at the same time raw and intelligent, deep and groovy. Our monthly event High Tech Soul is a tribute to Detroit, the birthplace of underground dance music. Expect deep and pumping house and techno. Dance music with a soul.
