Thank you I always tell people this came out before Cybotron 81 ALWAYS comes before 83, the lead vocalist is my brother-in law. I introduced them at the 2001 DEMF ,with Mago Mike and stated this first as such.
I knew it. Just checking and settling arguments over here. The Electrifying MOJO was the man! I grew up listening to that guy as a kid. I think he the reason I love Prince and all things FUNKY!
thinking that one day GTA6 will come out and maybe as an intro this banger serves as an introduction perhaps with a shooter mission like only rockstars can do gives me hope
When I was about 7 my brother in the UK used to get these mixtapes of the electrifying mojo and that's where I remember hearing this. Classic that turned me on to the underground for ever more
@LucasMartins-zv3oh it was in the leaks back in 2022 context: lucia standing in a bar near the beach and this plus playing in the background, but it was the dirt bombs version.
Early '80s in Detroit burbs.....Listening to MOJO and as a high school kid this music rocked then and still rocks today! One could write a book on the good times!
Unfortunately nothing else than a fake title. Right from the beginning they copied Kraftwerk's/Ultravox' Electro-Funk and Synthpop sound. Then they started to imitate Chicago's House/Acid sound... And later in 1988/89 they tried to create something new and called it "Detroit Techno". At that time, Techno already existed worldwide. A Number of Names' '81 track is really something special...but that's the only track. There was no Techno movement at that time. And there was no Techno movement five years later... In 1986, the world was flooded by Hi-NRG, Italo-Disco, House music, Hip Hop... but no Techno.
I'm just saying that the actual word "Techno" was formed in Detroit. You have to go back a little further than the late 80's. Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Carl Craigslist, and Kevin Sanderson pioneered the Detroit techno sound in the early to mid 80's. And yes Kraftwerk are the originators of the sound. I have most of there albums.
Jack Scott For the use of the term "Techno" you have to go back to 1979. Detroit didn't invent anything. In 1981/82 the term Techno was well established. It described New Wave/Synthpop music from Europe and Japan. Even in the US it has been used in Los Angeles and Chicago to describe SynthPop/New Wave music, incl. Technopop such as Kraftwerk. Detroit's early music was Electro, not Techno. The term "Detroit Techno" didn't exist until 1988.
***** You're an idiot. Kraftwerk's work lacks the Funk/Electro/Disco/house sounds that American, specially Afro-American originated music has. Kraftwerk's stuff is nothing like this & is pure synthpop electronic classic influenced music most of the time. Techno on the other hand is very much influenced by electro/disco etc.
Help!!! My heads started bopping up and down!!! Now my feet Wont Stop Movin'!!! Whooooah, sideways... sideways!!!! Helppppp!!! Even the dog is dancin'!!! Wow, this takes me waaay back; Electrotabulous post Chicagowax.
Heard that this one Detroit dude recently dug thru the invoices at the pressing plant where they did both Shari Vari and Alleys of Your Mind -- It was still ambiguous which was recorded and/or released first.
Love this track and hate to admit that I’ve gone decades without a 12” copy in my crates. The importance and influence of pioneers such as Depeche Mode cannot be overstated when listening to/learning about the seedlings of techno and other blossoming electronic genres of the time (Speak & Spell actually came out the same year as this, 1981, but DM’s music had been circulating among djs and the underground for over a year at this point) This gem of a track is testament to that. Thanks for sharing 👍🙏
Now this is one hard-to-find record! Thanks for posting. Got remixed by Ectomorph and Vitalic & The Hacker in 2001. Great tunes, but I like this original one the most.
Aha, Tambian88, I take then you remember MFA, if you're in car honk your horn, or flash your headlights. If you're at home flick your porch light off, and on to let people know you're down with M.F.A. And now its time for Star Wars 45, Rick James vs Prince.
awesome, 1980's chicago techno house, music was at its best in this era of time, the music producers and artists were more creative then, there was more style, uniqueness to music then, nowadays all music sounds same, rock da house, 5 stars
Oh yeah, I remember that, wow you've got a good memory mallymal68, Ah yes, back he was the WGPR, I think one of his lines was, "we're now about to go warp 1 0 7 point 5..." The Scene was definately a piece of Motown culture from the 70's, 80's, and early 90's the way Motown records was in the 60's. But big conglomerate TV has a way of squashing the culture out of local programming doesn't it?
@@TheWayTheTruthTheLife_ yeah I rarely play gta 5 myself but I rem hearing this before then I remembered. The pre alpha was on gta 5 universe to test controls
I don't get how folks call this the first techno record. If you ask them what they were making the day they made this they would not tell you techno. Back then it would have been considered new wave as it was a tune of the day like what you'd hear on WLBS. Don't go backwards and say everything electronic all of a sudden is techno. Marcus Belgrave once said some of his experimental stuff from the 70s would be considered techno (if you use this as a standard).
That was really ahead of its time - by miles! Crazy Hindu accent too! :) Was the accent made up or did they "employ" a real Indian guy to narrate this?
The lead vocalist is my brother-in law Paul Lesley , the group sends many thanks for all the support shown for this song.
The Scene baby!
The Viscount Windsor
When I hear this song I think of all zoot suits with their popped collars, platform shoes and slicked back hair. For real.
😮😮😮
fuck yeah
Native Detroit gal here. Loved this song as a young teen and listened to Electrifying Mojo all the time! Such a great era!
GTA VI soundtrack already looks dope
The Sound Of Detroit, always will be home to me.

This is going to be in GTA VI.
U know somthing I don't homie haha
This song is already in GTAO on 2 different radio stations…
@@Isonovety it also appears in a scripted sequence from the first batch of GTAVI leaks.
I can remember dancing in the kitchen with my cousin and washing the dishes back in the day.....HAHAHA!!!!! Breaking it down
One of the illest tracks on the planet no question
GTA6 bringing this backkkkk
Smoking on a cigarette , listening the car-cassette !
Daren Lorengard talking about gigolos, that was my favorite groove. I can dig. do the French gigolo.
Cruisin' with his hot playmate, in his Porsche 928! Awesome track!
6hrs of dancing tonight ended with the djay droppin this at 5am. fuckin lost it. ++++.
You Shazamed GTA 6 Leak.
Yes pal
Lol yep. I'm 24 and into this music. But never heard this one before.
Bruh, its from GTAO, they used GTA V/Online's stations as a placeholder
@@MGgames100idc i will play it on game even if it not on the game
Lol googled "smoking on his cigarette"
Thanks Chitown, I taught some of my kids in Takashino to jump rope to this song. They love it once they got over the initial giggling and laughter.
Awesome Detroit techno
GTA 6. You'll know what I mean in a few years.
Ok...i see where Daft Punk got a LOT of their flava from!😳
It was the 80's, I was a teen and didn't have a care in the world 😆
Yes really, it has a steady enough tempo to jump rope to. Well Chicagowax, you just made my day. They love stuff like this in Japan.
Help!!! My heads started bopping up and down!!! Now my feet Wont Stop Movin'!!! Whooooah, sideways... sideways!!!! Helppppp!!! Even the dog is dancin'!!!
Wow, this takes me waaay back; Electrotabulous post Chicagowax.
Here before GTA VI
I love this song and its the jam. Everytime I hear Sharvari I want to get up and dance.
There was the great NY store Charivari which was a mecca for avant garde designers in the 80's and early 90's.
thanks for the great insight to the history of the record. one of the greatest songs in EDM history, in my opinion.
I need to get that Techno Rebels book! I also need to put this on a Cd for my "Cosmic Car". this song is pure BOSS.
hi

thats one of my FAVORITE videos on youtube! i...was...born in 1982 :/
I think he is trying to sound like a sophisticated Frenchman. The song is named after a party crew the early 80's in Detroit called "Charivari".
Yes. They were a part of the party crew, like Snobs and Brats. I was at Cass Tech then :)
So old, so cool.
I'm from Denmark and I missed it back then.
Heard it first time in 2001, I think😊
