We sit down in Ibiza with the legendary Kevin
Saunderson – one of the founding fathers of Detroit
Techno, a member of the Belville Three along with Juan Atkins
& Derrick May, as well as a true pioneer of electronic music.

From shaping the sound of techno in the ’80s to his iconic work
with Inner City and his groundbreaking sets at clubs and
festivals worldwide, Kevin shares an inside look at his
incredible four-decade journey and some of the worst jobs he did
along the way to buy his first set of decks from a pawn shop to
receiving the legend award at IMS this year.

We talk about:

The magic behind Inner City’s timeless hits

️ Kevin’s creative process in the studio and behind the decks

Building a lasting global legacy while staying true to
Detroit roots

Whether you’re a DJ, producer, or dance music lover, this
conversation dives deep into the culture, history, and future of
techno from one of its true innovators.
