Drew Pompa - A Muddy Bourgeois Derby Dance

It was the middle of the afternoon in May, air was thick with plumes of Detroit smoke. An ominous vibe peered upon the horizon, eventually enveloping your entire senses. Ah yes, a freak show if you will, plotted in anticipation every spring. A savage treatment of the equestrian breed bestowed upon by even the most inferior kind of little men and their barbaric slave masters. The vicious prancing of all the affirming Kentucky bourgeoisie clad with holy regalia, in spite of such abominable and imminent weather.

You betcha', it was derby day and they were down for a dance. All of a sudden, wide brims and pink maniacs begin chanting "Fail We May, Sail We Must" and the race is on! It bends and warps as it torpedoes for a slick minute; then eases and snaps a crank like an elastic rubber band, until your face becomes brainwashed.

the inconceivable and visual scarcity of this imagery; the climactic and colossal finish of historic proportions, which cultivated the most unusual of celebrations. Their swagger in those alligator boots, aloof the muddy courts of their abiding animals. THE ASSHOLES HAVE WON DAMMIT!.... THE ASSHOLES HAVE WON! But don't go betting your ass on the bourgeoisie when "Old King Appaloosa of Horsidia" comes creepin' on back. Oh yeah, the king will have his day!

Actually, who cares..... that dude's long gone. Let's go play some records!

Aphotic Segment - A New Monthy @ The Woodbridge Pub

Words By: C.A.P. & Pipé Scuttleworth.

"Aphotic Segment” is a monthly endeavor aimed at the exploration of the seemingly divergent worlds of both electronic and traditional music. The goal is to distend the audience with a cacophony, in an environment suitable for a listener's total immersion.

Too often sound is presented myopically, in a context that focuses on a particular scene or style. The current structure often serves to narrow the participant’s exposure, frequently at the expense of the broader spectrum of what already exists or what may be.

With our monthly, we will attempt to parse the infinite, to help induce a musical imagination ripe with lizard androids, gothic relics, and outer space travel. Here, here fine friends! Our time is too limited to suppress the curious nature of humanity and its lovely soundtrack. We cannot grow unless we continue to search the abyss. Join us every last Wednesday of the month at the Woodbridge Pub in Detroit.

Selector: Drew Pompa

Lost in Sound 07 w/ Patrick Russell

From: Dont Forget To Go Home

“Don’t Forget To Go Home” is a platform for creative exchange between DJs, music enthusiasts, producers and dedicated party goers in order to capture the past and present of dance music's intriguing culture.

As a prelude to the anticipated Movement Festival at the end of May, “Don’t Forget To Go Home” has been running weekly features dedicated to Detroit, a place highly regarded as the epicenter for electronic music. For this special edition they investigate the mystique about Detroit, spotlighting conversations, profiles, offbeat features and exclusive music from a versatile, handpicked group of Motor City vanguards. For their last edition, they talk to local dj and producer, Patrick Russell. Read the interview and download Patrick's mix HERE.

The Beehive Project

The Beehive Project is A large-scale installation from an interdisciplinary group of artists from Detroit, offering it's inaugural display at this year's Detroit Electronic Music Festival.

The giant beehive will function as a large sculpture, an intimate gathering space, and will also serve as a metaphor for the city of Detroit by referencing the hive as an ideal model for community. Historically, beehives have been associated with industry, diverse cooperation, and resourcefulness. Honey, their primary output, has traditionally symbolized the restoration of health, yearning for sweetness, and rebirth. These associations reference aspects of Detroit's history while also serving as symbols of hope and vision for the future of the city.

The beehive is also a particularly poignant metaphor because of the recent phenomenon of colony collapse disorder (CCD) affecting hives throughout North America. CCD occurs when workers bees from a beehive abruptly disappear, leaving the swarm without enough workers to continue functioning. By paralleling this trend with the steady depopulation of deindustrialization of Detroit over the past 50 years, we hope to honestly portray Detroit's distressed economic and social situation while still looking to the beehive as a metaphor for the strength of community, collaboration, and supportive, creative production in the city.

Twilight Babies w/ Madis One @ The Park Bar

The Twilight Babies

Detroit's Twilight Babies formed in 2001 around vocalist Alison Lewis and multi-instrumentalists Mikey Brown and Adam Walker. None were strangers to the Motor City music scene -- Lewis had issued a solo LP earlier that year, while Brown and Walker were members of the electronic music outfit 19.5 Collective. As Twilight Babies, the trio flitted freely between trip-hop texture and dream pop fuzz, mixing electronic soundscapes with extensive guitar work and Lewis' lush, soulful vocals. The trio's eponymous debut was issued in August 2002 to considerable local acclaim, and was supported by a round of live performances. The Middle of Something LP appeared a little over a year later. Monster, recorded by Mike E. Clark, was released in 2005. Named the Detroit music awards' best electronic group two years consecutively, The Twilight Babies have emerged from a three year performance hiatus to provide a rare sonic delight for our pleasure.

Madis One (Blank Artists) - Live
Jim Stone (Family Funktion) - DJ

SOUP

Over the course of what seems forever, Detroit has been bubbling to the brim with creative activities intended to pool like minded individuals together under one umbrella - community. This most recent example of this piping hot bowl of creativity comes in the form of a monthly gahtering started by friends, Kate Daughdrill and Jessica Hernandez called SOUP. Modestly tucked above the confines of Mexicantown Bakery, these creatives congregate to nourish not only their bodies, but also their minds and spirits and the whole purpose is to create a monthly dinner aimed at funding micro-grants for creative projects. Yeah... go ladies!
