Transmat is the record label of techno musician Derrick May, founded in 1986.[1][2] Since the mid-1980s, the label "released the tracks that would fuel the techno boom". Artists included Rhythim Is Rhythim, James Pennington, Joey Beltram, and Carl Craig.[3] Transmat includes the sub-label Fragile Records.

Detroit and its story has been told and like all legendary tales, those who have paid attention know more then [sic] the average person tuning in.
