Indeed !

Drexciya really pushed and expanded what you could do as a dj. It really put your mind in a different place. Sometimes we would get in my car and drive outside the city, out into the countryside, and this is the kind of stuff I would listen to. It was a a part of the soundtrack for escaping Detroit for a while.

I am already underwater… thanks to all these tears. Much respect for RA on this one, Drexciya is forever!

There was also a side project that the Drexciya Duo were involved with called Doppler Effect, think a more robotic Kraftwerk fronted by a female vocalist speaking in monotone. It had to be heard to be believed.

I was listening to Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile yesterday- and realized that even after listening to this duo for years, I missed a reference to the Methane Sea from my first favorite rock-n-roller. Rik Davis aka Cybotron3070 wrote a track called "Methane Sea" which I now believe pays homage to the idea Jimi and Drexciya are getting at- an idea illustrated by another Hendrix track, 1983... A Merman I Should Turn to Be from Electric Ladyland: 1983 is not a year, it is a reference to United States Code 42 USC 1983- which basically gives the right to seek reparations when any authorized group, working in the service of the United States, works outside of Its authority. Otherwise, Drexciya was cognizant of Afro musical history, something I'm still learning about; most of all they have taught why some people identify as Afro-American rather than African-American. They've led me to Sun Ra, RammEllZee- and gave me further understanding of the continuing work of Gerald Donald, DJ Stingray, Jeff Mills, Robert Hood and perhaps even a (supposedly) caucasian woman who calls herself The Doubtful Guest.

I remember when I heard hydro theory and bang bang for the first time three years ago on youtube. My neck hair raised and my whole body got goosebumps, I was immediately captivated by their sound... learning more about them just deepens the meaning of their music to me and creates new fantasies about Drexciya and the entire journey their mythical civilization has made

Love being from Detroit, so much talent

One of the best random weird corner of the record shops finds of my life

Drexciya must be one of the musical acts with the deepest lore out there

There's a special kind of happy when a video with a title like this pops up on your homepage :D

This fed my soul. This was beautiful. Stinson and Donald were such a huge influence in my life and are so underrepresented. Thank you for making this! You guys HAVE to do a follow up with Dopplereffekt and all his associated acts! Much respect.

Life is short. Drexciya is forever.

Cybotron is another noteworthy electro duo that comes to mind with similar lineage

Cybotron3070 does not get the same recognition as his partner, though (when referencing techno history). I have a hypothesis that Rik Davis is the Unknown Writer.

Koekebakker Don’t know if you picked up any of their albums yet, but I discovered them back around 09 or 2010, when the first “Journey Of The Deep Sea Dweller” collection of their trax came out, and I fell in love. I ended up buying each subsequent JotDSD releases, four in all, and honestly, if you’re not looking to be a completist and just want a great collection of their trax, I highly recommend.

Amazing look into two real musical geniuses, they are still far ahead of their time, thank you for making this.

Great work on this RA, thank you.

"[...] just love each other. Love the music and go for it. Whatever your heart desires." James Stinson, 2002

Thanks RA! Always so interesting.

fuck me up this is the kind of electro I've been hunting for. Absolutely timeless.

Just hit the Aquabhann, and tear down it in your Lardosian cruiser. Nice piece RA

I find it intresting listening to artists like drexciya and dopplereffekt whilst in run down areas with bordered up houses, dirt and litter everywhere. It feels like this music is the sound track to this scenery and in a way a private escape from the reality of life in areas that are run down, with the arists coming from Detroit that makes sense.

Their creative mythology really impressed and influenced me years ago as a child, and even still today.

The masters! Thanks for showing us your soundzz.

This is pretty well made actually.

A doc this good rarely comes along. incredible story.

First Burial, now Drexciya's history. Thank you resident advisor for making these awesome documentaries. Are you planning to make more videos? Can you make one about Aquacrunk?

Da aquabahnnnnn!! . RIP James Stinson.

Drexciya didn't just make music, he made his music art trying to transmit something to people, that's something that nowadays in the music industry isn't done anymore, you just want to make a lot of money producing repetitive and empty music from my point of view, thank you James and Donald very much for making your music art.

@ROOTSCONTRA lol man don't even bother responding to these guys. They usually don't make the effort to try and hear for themselves what's up today on the techno and electro scene. And if they do, they do it with some dark devil in their mind saying "yeah but remember it will always be better before". This guy probably doesn't know Stingray plays loads of new stuff as well in his sets.

So good, thanks RA

RESPECT. ty for making this.

much props to RA for having this feature.

Well produced video which deserves more attention, just like Drexciya.

thank you so much for this

Amazing break down of a very special group. Only re listened to Stinsons interview with Liz Coperland...very inspirational poetic and haunting seeing that he passed away months after recording the interview.

"To stay sane in an insane world"... The most relevant thing today 🔥❤️

What a piece of art

Great LEGEND!! ONE LOVE.

So well made and very informative , even for a 20 year fan

sound of my (now fading) youth, great job on the video

Excellent. Thank you.

RA should add a credit to the source interviews from Andrew Duke and Liz Copeland.

Fantastic video!

Absolute legends

very well done, yes !

I knew nothing about this scene or Drex. This is fucking awesome. Keep up the dope work~~~
