Bassplayer of IndustrialBand 'Die Krupps' now wrote a book about the early electronic music of his hometown. Oral History. The verbal account of Bands from Düsseldorf or Bands inspired by them.

Just like Memphis for Rock 'n' Roll is Düsseldorf regarded as the Mecca for electronic music.

Hits within the scene like Der Mussolini and Wahre Arbeit - Wahrer Lohn, in addition to chart successes like The Model and Dr Mabuse, established Düsseldorf's success overnight.

The book Electri_city tells us the story of electronic music from the outset - in the words of those who created it.
