America’s National Public Radio has never been known as a hub for dance music, but recently, NPR has been ramping up its coverage of any number of electronic styles. A recent segment (and related blog post) featured Pete Tong and Gilles Peterson breaking down the oft-discussed divide between the US and UK’s dance music scenes. Now, in honor of last weekend’s Movement festival, they’ve asked a handful of Detroit musicians and journalists to share they’re favorite Detroit techno tracks of all time.

In interviews with Carl Craig, Brendan Gillen (Ectomorph), Anthony “Shake” Shakir, Jeff Mills, and others, they look back at classic cuts from Cybotron, Model 500 (Juan Atkins), Rhythim Is Rhythim (Derrick May), Eddie Flashin Fowlkes, Inner City (Kevin Saunderson), Psyche (Carl Craig), Underground Resistance feat. Mike Banks, and Moodymann.
