Black History Month: Detroit Style
In episode 5, Reggie, Jennifer, Kristian, Dave, and Eric Jackson, the production team behind the upcoming feature-length documentary God Said Give ‘Em Drum Machines: The Story of Detroit Techno, honor Black History Month with Detroit tastemaker, retailer, and promoter Zana Smith (Instagram: @Zana_SpecDet, Twitter: @MsZanaToYou, @SpectaclesDet). They discuss her contributions as one of the few female players of the early 80s: how she helped to cultivate the dance music scene at the Downstairs Pub and how she has impacted the story of GSGEDM. Her friend, legendary Detroit DJ Ken Collier, was right there with her at that time. His underground 80s mixtape will bring you through the episode, and back to the beginnings of the scene and its black roots in Detroit. Take some time with the GSGEDM team to celebrate these often overlooked black history makers and community builders from Detroit.
