White Town

Techno
Techno

White Town is a Techno act. Their sound grew out of Kraftwerk, Dinosaur Jr., Devo, Depeche Mode and Al Bowlly. Those roots explain a lot about how White Town arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as EMF, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Primitive Radio Gods, I Monster and New Radicals, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dua Lipa and Naughty Boy, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 39 connections around White Town, reaching back through Kraftwerk and forward to Dua Lipa.
