[tonyc2002]

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good sources? I would love to find more information about how techno evolved in London and Berlin specifically, especially from anyone who may have been around at the time.

Its for a project :ruparanoid:

try...

+ links on...
Techno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techno)

also research Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Osric Tentacle etc etc

also try Machine Soul: A History Of Techno (http://music.hyperreal.org/library/machine_soul.html)

Simon Reynolds books are alright if a bit cliched, tend to focus on dance music as a whole rather than strictly techno though

or this DiY culture: party & protest in ... - Google Books (http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=KaP-bAMAYlYC&pg=PA1&lpg=PA1&dq=DIY+culture+george+mackay&source=bl&ots=cqYRZJnjnX&sig=7ker2eKOSJIL7w956-FhMUzhz1Y&hl=en&ei=-I-WS_StIoOQjAfYveWSCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=&f=false)

again not strictly techno but good background on early 90's party and squat scene
