Richie Hawtin has stepped into the role of executive producer for ‘Kids Like Us’, a new short film portraying the underground techno scene of 1990s Detroit.
Available now via NOWNESS, the nine-minute film captures the coming-of-age journey of a group of misfits navigating identity, culture, and connection through the raw pulse of underground electronic music. Shot on 35mm film, ‘Kids Like Us’ centers around the now-legendary Spastik party held at Detroit’s Packard Plant, where Hawtin first debuted his Plastikman alias.
“I felt like the underground techno world is so cinematic and that it deserved to be documented in a truthful way through the stories, music, and the visuals,” said writer and director Like Jaden. “We actually shot the film at a techno party in Detroit, and the goal was to make this film feel as real and as authentic as possible to an actual techno party experience.”
