I live in a small town named Belleville, its between Ann Arbor and Detroit. I love the rave scene so I did some research on techno history and found out techno was formed here in Belleville. Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, and Juan Adkins gradauted at Belleville High School in the 1980's. In the process of that they formed the "Belleville Three" in a basement and started modern mixing of techno. They then signed a label and the rest is history, techno as we know it was formed. Heres a link if you wanna check it out.
