straight from the heart of the motor city, detroit techno records presents from the basement with love, a double-vinyl transmission from the legendary detroit basement, where the pulse of real techno still beats in raw electricity and sweat. this isn’t nostalgia. this is living history, a direct line from the city that invented techno to the artists who continue to keep its soul alive. across two slabs of black wax, the pioneers and torchbearers of detroit gather in one place: suburban knight, body mechanic, erotek, ray 7, the bs project, detroit electronic authority, spade the specialist, and more. each cut drips with the signature elements that defined a movement, machine funk, militant rhythm, deep emotional circuitry, and that unmistakable underground grit. curated straight out of the detroit basement, this compilation captures the true spirit of a city that never stopped creating, never stopped fighting, never stopped dancing. every groove is a love letter to the origin, pressed by the hands that built the sound — not a recreation, but a continuation.
