Did you know that Machynlleth in Powys is twinned with Belleville, Michigan? The Belleville from the Belleville Three - Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson - as in the birthplace of Detroit Techno?
I didn't until this excellent article from David Owens on Nation.Cymru.
Nor did I know about Ffrancon, but he certainly knew the connection. His recent album Gwalaxia: Belleville 1315 / Machynlleth 1414 joins the dots between Detroit Techno and radical Welsh politics and went straight into my Wishlist on Bandcamp.
Big fan of that artwork too.
