Sound of Frankfurt — YouTube Channel Statistics

A new sound is created: "The Sound of Frankfurt". In 1986, young DJ’s started to produce and arrange a new generation of Synthi Pop products. Names like Talla 2XLC, Michael Münzing or Mike Staab stand for this group of enthusiastic men, mainly coming from the city of Frankfurt. In 1987, the first top hits in Europe followed by OFF and 16 Bit. But this is not the end. It’s just the beginning of a new age of music. Yes, next to Detroit and Chicago Frankfurt is the birthplace of electronic club music. And we are not talking about EDM here, "We call it Techno." This is the city of legendary clubs such as Omen, Dorian Gray and Music Hall where the new sound and a whole different youth culture flourished in the late 80s and early 90s, while later venues like U60311, Robert Johnson, Tanzhaus West and Sven Väth's Cocoon Club took the rave scene well into the new century.
