I saw Kyle Hall spin this weekend in the basement of this bar/pizza place. Weird space for sure, but the speakers were really nice, and looked like they belonged in a spaceship.

Set was all over the place, although it definitely stuck closely to its house origins. There were some ghetto tech bangers, an acid house track, some beats that were classic Trax records material, and lots of amazing moments with organ filters. Anyway, it is great to see dudes like Kyle and Omar-S keeping the torch burning for Detroit techno.

Saga of Resistance

Theo Parrish goes deep with this remix of Sun Ra, and Detroit once again becomes a gateway into the cosmos splicing through time & space. One thing I miss about living in the Midwest is how seeped the whole area is with Sun Ra’s legacy… you just don’t get that sort of connection with his music in other parts of the country.

Shout out to the acknowledged classic blog.

So NOLA Bounce got represented on So You Think You Can Dance

So the question now is whether the show will take this new direction to the logical conclusion and turn the focus of the show into one where local ghettotech joints compete? Wassup Detroit?
