Motown left town, but the music didn't die—it just got weird.

In Episode 3, we bridge the gap between the guitar riffs of the 60s and the drum machines of the 80s. We track the landing of George Clinton’s P-Funk Mothership and the arrival of Kraftwerk’s German robots.

But the real hero of this story is a mysterious voice on the radio: The Electrifying Mojo. Join us for a meeting of "The Midnight Funk Association" to understand how one DJ broke every rule in the book and taught Detroit how to dream of the future.
