Our women pioneers of electronic music series has been quite popular the past few weeks, so we’d like to extend the audio innovation to our general hardware hack night!

This month we take a look at the unlikeliest of connections: How did a Japanese wartime orphan create inventions that sparked the creative explosion of African-American hip hop and Detroit techno culture?
The story is full of drama, personal failures, and of a potential that could have been fatally lost to the world forever if not for the persistence of a nerd and music lover in Japan. Ikutaro Kakehashi’s life story is one of challenges, but as inventors and entrepreneurs at SudoRoom we admire his sheer willpower and persistence to educate himself and turn out creations that made the world a more creative place!
We leave a teaser with this documentary on how techno was born: From Detroit to Berlin and Back. Apparently a lot of people even in Oakland do not realize that the roots of electronic America were very black, quite a shame, so before we embark on storytelling let’s pre-educate!
