Detroit, Shari Vari, and The Scene

Before Detroit techno there was Shari Vari. 'A Number of Names,' a group of friends from Detroit in the early 80s made the track that had tremendous influence on the growth of Detroit techno. Italo Disco was pretty popular in Detroit at the time and a lot of house parties revolved around DJs spinning Italo while the youngsters got glammed up in Gucci, Prada, Dolce Gabbana. The synth part in Shari Vari comes from Kraftwerk's 'Its more fun to compute."

Here is a cool article on the birth of Detroit techno by Jon Savage. The song was also the inspiration for the Happy Boys tune "In a Limo."
