Description: THE TECHNANOMICRON is a rare sonic artifact from Detroit’s Techno history. Originally released in 2008, THE TECHNANOMICRON, was only available for a brief time. Now, after more than a decade, this mysterious item from Detroit’s most prominent techno visual artist, AbuQadim Haqq, is being reissued for a limited time. It contains the original disc along with an artbook depicting the story of Detroit techno from a Afrofuturism allegory. Again, this is a limited reissue and only available while supplies last. Limit 2 per person. Prolific and highly respected Detroit techno artist, AbuQadim Haqq, shares a selection of personal favorites and undisputed Detroit techno classics from the archives of Underground Resistance, Carl Craig, Derrick May, Jeff Mills and Suburban Knight. Over the years, Haqq has undertaken a whole foray of artwork for the aforementioned recording artists and their related labels, perhaps most notably being responsible for producing some of the earlier artwork for Transmat, closely followed by various projects for Planet E, including the well known Intergalactic Beats cover art. Subsequently, AbuQadim has worked very closely with Underground Resistance and remains the key figure in creating the unique imagery for the ultimate techno institution. If you are unfamiliar with Haqq's painting style, then this compilation provides an excellent starting point, for a taster of this artist's work is depicted in the enclosed thirty-two page artbook. This limited edition includes a printed art book that reimagines the Techno’s legendary founders as “Technolords”— a counsel of intergalactic and multi-dimensional beings responsible for having building sonic empires.*The English edition also features an exclusive hidden file for Techno’s most passionate fans looking to submerge themselves in the music’s obscure history.
