In this talk, given at the 2005 Red Bull Music Academy in Seattle, Waajeed of Platinum Pied Pipers looks back on Detroit’s incredible musical history, connecting the dots from Motown to the pioneers of techno, and on to the hip-hop scene he helped to establish. He explains the influence of the automotive industry on the city’s sound and of his father’s record collection on his own eclectic tastes. He also outlines his belief that artists have a responsibility beyond their music, recalls how being a DJ was the best way to escape the violence of the neighborhood he grew up in and why he owes his career to the “voice inside his head.” TOPICS: 01:50 - Detroit 32:10 - Slum Village 37:05 - Putting in the time 45:55 - Platinum Pied Pipers 1:23:52 - Techno house party MUSIC 1:05:26 - Waajeed – unknown 1:06:22 - Domu – “It’s You” Platinum Pied Piers Remix 1:07:55 - Herbaliser feat.
