As they say: if every Muslim has to go to Mecca, every techno lover has to go to Detroit. God Said Give 'Em Drum Machines portrays Detroit's dance music scene, where the genre's trendsetters are set and the most innovative tracks are made. And, also, where there is one of the most solid and influential hubs of black artists. Since the 1980s, DJs like Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May have breathed new life into dance floors, but the mainstream industry has appropriated their beats without giving them their due. This is their story!
