No matter how many times I watched this video, what Mike said in this video is so true and it’s so inspiring to see him helping kids growing up. Still can’t believe he is gone. Rest In Peace Mike. I hope you found peace “Fantasy” place in heaven just like your track “Fantasy”. 🙏
I still cant believe he's gone either. Had the pleasure of having some great chats with him over the years. Such a humble guy, I pushed him to repress one of his tracks he hadn't got full confidence in. Apparently ment a lot to him an gave me a shout out on the wax. Such a gent
I think Detroit has more potential than any other city in America right now. All of the crumbling buildings are the best places for fostering creativity from resourceful people. Not to mention the legendary impact the city made on music and culture that we still feel today-Detroit must rise again!
I appreciate seeing a film that address the issues in Detroit but shows the positive. I was so happy to see RJ Watkins and Youthville. I would have liked to see and hear from Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, Juan Atkins since they are credited as being the founders. Or even Carl Craig considering the influence he's had. I do enjoy this whole series. I love seeing how music influences people all over the world.

jeezz. i had a music teacher at the age of 13, representing my scratch skillz on tape, he was like what the fuck is this . this is no music. It still pisses me off when i think of it. It was maybe no Qbert quality, but at least support and motivate a kids pasion. This is what most people mis
This is great documentary. Keep in mind this is from 7 years ago, and now in 2018 Detroit is turning around with an influx of people and business, as well as underground musicians. Every time I visit I see new buildings being built, and people riding on the new Trams!
Been travelling too The D for 15 years from Scotland and its Electric the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end from the moment I get off the plane and for weeks after I return home. ❤❤❤❤The most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure to meet and become friends with. I LOVE YOU DETROIT ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fascinating creation that came from this city. There’s the mechanical aspect, the soul aspect, a futuristic aspect, and an intensely moody aspect. It’s the perfect fusion - it is the most complete musical expression of the human experience from my point of view. Techno. And the many offshoots (that adhere to musical and creative integrity). It is brilliant and nothing has moved me to my core the way this music does.
Thank you for everything Detroit, the raw sense of passion your city emanates is what's inspired me to strive to be a better artist even from across the globe.
I would say there's a decent following man. I'd like to see one. Implement DIY culture and good music. House, detroit techno, uk garage. Thinking about renting a warehouse keep it underground every once and while, nothing frequent
Great Documentary. I was born on the East Side of Detroit. Sad that most of the houses were empty lots when I went in 03'. I love this video. I try to tell people that so many focus on the negative things out of Detroit, but, there's so much more to the city that if given the chance they'd see the cool things. Thanks for sharing guys. Best Wishes in your Music Journeys. Take care
I know there's a list of tracks at the end of the film, but, for a dj, it would be much more desirable to have the title in some captions while it actually plays. You guys selected some great tunes for this awsome document. Thanks.
Never been to the US but my cousin lives in NYC. I really wanna go to Detroit because so much music I love has come from there. But like the guy in the video said, maybe you wouldn’t call Detroit a vibrant place. Worth seeing as a tourist if you can meet a local and have time to hang?
It's amazing how much music and histories there are. I do electronic music, maybe dub techno, but evenings are on TH-cam learning the people and places that are the wellspring of my inspiration.
someone knows where the kid (derek mahone) are now? they still playing? he had 11 when the video was posted here. now, he have at a minimum 21 years old.
really enjoyed this. a good look at detroit without some of the usual egos. though unless i am mistaken that electric deluxe in the back ground of the warehouse is by speedy j not very detroit.
does anyone know the specific law that Rick Wilhite is referring to cant seem to find it online, im writing a dissertation about techno scenes this would be very helpful
They went straight to Motor and skipped all it's predecessors, like St. Andrews Hall, The State Theater, The Factory, etc... I guess they cut it for time?? Hey do one on Chicago too! I spent half my life there also.
These warehouse parties (house before house) happened in London during the early to mid 80s. The mainstream clubs were only interested in first generation hip hop or Afrika Bambaataa (body poppin) type electro as opposed to the more dance oriented Cybertron style of electro. Under the leadership of the "wonderful" Margaret Thatcher, a lot of London's traditional industries went bust. There were a lot of derelict buildings around Shoreditch, Wapping, Kings Cross and London Bridge (underneath the railway arches) and even Covent Garden. During the weekdays we would source venues, bribe property management, even pretend to be buying property so that we could get inside and look around. Saturdays was the night playing similar records like Klien & MBO and anything left field, progressive and electronic at about 120 bpm - 125 bpm. Crowds were 400 plus and there was even a fatality. Someone ventured away from the music into so other unlit part of the building and fell through the floor. The parties were mixed attracted all types. What always amazed me was how well dressed the people would be to dance in what was basically a death pit, shit hole. 🤔😆
Detroit has always been a fucked up place, I was born and raised there so I know....however, there are a group of people in there and from there that made it a Memorable Mecca that people around the world love and adore.
those were the days! it seem like that dnt support each other anymore far the as the house music. its all about the money there. I remember the warehouse, heaven after hours, The dancery, famous door, just for example. i got to go to chi-town to hear the good house music. All there so many good house music djs in detroit
RIP Mike Huckaby ... Such a wonderful section with him and the Youthsville project here ❤
Moved up here in January and completely heartbroken by his passing. Such a genuine pillar of kindness for the community
seen him once on rosenthaler. platz in berlin gawd damn
I hadn't even heard of him till he passed away. What a lovely character and it's such a shame he's no longer with us.
Fundamentals are very important in anything that you do. Thats what I call mentoring. He will be missed by so many Rest in Peace.
No matter how many times I watched this video, what Mike said in this video is so true and it’s so inspiring to see him helping kids growing up.
Still can’t believe he is gone. Rest In Peace Mike. I hope you found peace “Fantasy” place in heaven just like your track “Fantasy”. 🙏

RIP Mike. A legend in so many ways...
I've been into house music for years and I'm finally taking a deep dive into it's history. Thank you Detroit from texas!
Check some Chicago docs so
Trchno

Thank you!
Appreciate it 🙌🏼
This was such a good piece. Salute to Mike Huckaby for giving back to the youth and helping to shape New Creative Minds..
TRUELY!!
These kids deserve it, and I really admire a true and real sense of a community going on, so many other places are too competitive, trying to outshine the next guy or climb the social ladder.
Rest in peace, Mike.
Much fuckin respect Mike Huckaby, if only I had a music teacher like you when I was in school
jeezz. i had a music teacher at the age of 13, representing my scratch skillz on tape, he was like what the fuck is this . this is no music. It still pisses me off when i think of it. It was maybe no Qbert quality, but at least support and motivate a kids pasion. This is what most people mis
Detroit also gives inspiration to all of us in the world who live in the same circumstances like people in detroit. Don't forget that!
Totally agree
Preach
This is great documentary. Keep in mind this is from 7 years ago, and now in 2018 Detroit is turning around with an influx of people and business, as well as underground musicians. Every time I visit I see new buildings being built, and people riding on the new Trams!
Can I ask how the house scene is their would love to take a trip to feel the true Detroit house vibe.
"Eat a snack, do homework, and make beats"

yo he livin good!
DETROIT HUSTLES HARDER.
Been travelling too The D for 15 years from Scotland and its Electric the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end from the moment I get off the plane and for weeks after I return home. ❤❤❤❤The most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure to meet and become friends with. I LOVE YOU DETROIT ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mike Huckaby is such a dude! What a down to earth epic guy! Wish he would tutor me!
+AL B I've spoken to him. He's pretty chilled in deed :)
Mike is the guy...!
Much respect to Detroit techno and electro producers. I love Detroit!
Regards from Miami.
That kid is going to be a beast!
Fascinating creation that came from this city. There’s the mechanical aspect, the soul aspect, a futuristic aspect, and an intensely moody aspect. It’s the perfect fusion - it is the most complete musical expression of the human experience from my point of view. Techno. And the many offshoots (that adhere to musical and creative integrity). It is brilliant and nothing has moved me to my core the way this music does.
Electronic music industry has become a giant industry but how many of these super star djs help kids learn something in their life like Mike does ?
Thank you for everything Detroit, the raw sense of passion your city emanates is what's inspired me to strive to be a better artist even from across the globe.
Love Detroit, love the people of Detroit. What a misunderstood area...
Perhaps the least pretentious city of all in the Real Scenes series.
Best RA Documentary ever produced!
Rest In Peace Mike H. 🙏🏿🙏🏾
So much respect for the teacher on choosing to stay in Detroit to mentor the youth
the Warehouse parties is still going to this day. amazing experience. all should go if you like techno and house :)
i'm thinking about starting one here in Miami, FL. I want to start something that's different from traditional clubbing. I love UK garage
Warping Warping that would be dope. The underground scene is big Miami??
I would say there's a decent following man. I'd like to see one. Implement DIY culture and good music. House, detroit techno, uk garage. Thinking about renting a warehouse keep it underground every once and while, nothing frequent
Detroit's the livest underground
Definitely yearn for that experience.
I think that Mike Huckaby is brilliant and selfless. Spreading the knowledge to the next generation. Well done Mike
Rip 🙏
Great Documentary. I was born on the East Side of Detroit. Sad that most of the houses were empty lots when I went in 03'. I love this video.

Im from Dublin, Ireland & we love detroit!
Thanks RA! This is class!
"ill never leave Detroit" means something. Makes me want to live there as well!
I know there's a list of tracks at the end of the film, but, for a dj, it would be much more desirable to have the title in some captions while it actually plays. You guys selected some great tunes for this awsome document. Thanks.
This was very well produced. I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you.
The home of Techno. The Original
OMG!!!! I have been playing GHOSTEN at almost every gig and to hear it here makes me so emotional.
God bless to the kids pursuing their passion much respect from a techno lover from Tokyo you rock you the next gen
Man that 10 year old kid is gonna go places if he's starting that young! Awesome video.
Detroit will never die!
True people who truly love music, their community and what they're doing: hard to find nowadays!
Never been to the US but my cousin lives in NYC. I really wanna go to Detroit because so much music I love has come from there. But like the guy in the video said, maybe you wouldn’t call Detroit a vibrant place. Worth seeing as a tourist if you can meet a local and have time to hang?
the public needs more videos like this to educate them about underground culture.
Detroit music scene 90s and early 2000s. As far as rock garage punk... Was Unreal the talent level
What a legend. RIP MIKE HUCKABY X
Really well filmed. Even the dereliction looks fascinating. They may be talking about the music but I noticed the architecture
Anytime I watch these Im always shocked I never heard of some of the artists! First time ive come across kyle hall and his music is amazing!
It's amazing how much music and histories there are. I do electronic music, maybe dub techno, but evenings are on TH-cam learning the people and places that are the wellspring of my inspiration.
Great Camera Shots!
Motor was dope!
Massive respect to Mike Huckaby!
Love this, respect from Cleveland
Excellent documentary.
I need more of these.
That beat by reuel that's playing at 15:02 for a couple of seconds is dope!
*great documentary* wishing to see more like this.
The opening statement is such a nice metaphor.
Too bad i don't have the patience for this kind of music anymore, its really beautiful.
I have to say youre videos are really passionative and instructive !
yo these docs are dope
How good were all the tracks!! Ufff♥️🔥
Respect .....Detroit !!
A story of unique love
someone knows where the kid (derek mahone) are now? they still playing?
he had 11 when the video was posted here. now, he have at a minimum 21 years old.
What a Legacy ♥️♥️💪
really enjoyed this. a good look at detroit without some of the usual egos. though unless i am mistaken that electric deluxe in the back ground of the warehouse is by speedy j not very detroit.
Mike Huckaby is a freakin legend!
Imagine going everyday to school to find mike huckaby teaching you how to make music *-*
DOPE CUTS PLAYING
Can you make a "real scenes - Cardiff" and just film me doing the two step for 25 minutes
Rhondda two step butt
Wouldn't it just be you getting drunk and going to the rugby, and possibly having a fight at the pub later?
Calon Lan Bois bach
Kids are the future all right! Great work
Mike Huckaby teaching kids how to make music! Amazing!
See you in May!!
The finest music ever!
Loving the kid in the video! He inspires me :)
does anyone know the specific law that Rick Wilhite is referring to cant seem to find it online, im writing a dissertation about techno scenes this would be very helpful
They went straight to Motor and skipped all it's predecessors, like St. Andrews Hall, The State Theater, The Factory, etc... I guess they cut it for time??
Hey do one on Chicago too! I spent half my life there also.
the kid is a legend in the makingg
Good luck Detroit! Maybe I will get to see it bloom again in my lifetime. Maybe not? Not that I don't wish it would.

wow I'm suprised the first background music is atmospheric Drum & bass instead of Techno
Detroit has always been a fucked up place, I was born and raised there so I know....however, there are a group of people in there and from there that made it a Memorable Mecca that people around the world love and adore.
Respect (Y)
And @9.50 - any help much appreciated
