To celebrate Soma’s electro sub label @avoidantrecords new vinyl release ‘Dark Planet’, we have invited new Avoidant artist, DJ Godfather!

Listen here: https://avoidant.fanlink.to/darkplanet

With techno originally hailed as The House Sound of Detroit - there’s no denying the motor city has its own definitive genre: Ghetto Tech. A true pioneer of the sound, DJ Godfather, like so many in Detroit was inspired by local radio - WJLB, The Electrifying Mojo and Jeff ‘The Wizard’ Mills - but for Brian Jeffries, aka DJ Godfather, it was scratch DJs, hip hop and DMC battles that kick-started his love for turntablism.

Playing house parties and teen clubs as a 15-year-old, DJ Godfather quickly learned how to keep a dancefloor hot - and having actually purchased The Wizards’ turntables from the man Jeff Mills himself, DJ Godfather honed his craft. At 17 he found himself playing downtown bars and gigs in the suburbs, before taking off to warehouse raves and illegal parties, like those at Detroit’s Packard Plant. 

An intimidating force behind the decks, he’s known to drop 60-to-70 records in a one hour DJ set, with plenty of flair, beat juggling and Detroit hustle in between. With his first solo record coming through the Twilight ‘76 label he set up in 1994, DJ Godfather would go on to establish the Databass imprint - still going strong with 150-plus releases - along with a specialised set of sub-labels including Juke Trax and D.E.T. Only.

For more than 25 years now DJ Godfather has been an advocate for ghetto tech at large, consistently drawing the biggest daytime crowd year-for-year at Detroit’s Movement Festival - uniting juke and jit dancers alike - while also exploring a myriad of genres like Miami bass, footwork, electro and more. Hooking up with the likes of Keith Tucker, Andrea Parker and DJs Deeon, Detroit Grand Pubahs and Fat Boy Slim over the years, it was only in 2020 that he saw the release of his 44 track debut solo album, Electro Beats For Freaks.

Following that up in 2021 with a 46-track second LP titled This Thing Of Ours, and the 2022 D3T.3L3CTR0 album - DJ Godfather never loses faith in how his music can bring different people and genres together. “To me ghetto tech is a culture; mixing techno, house, electro, and booty records to create one vibe,” he says. “I do ghetto tech records because it’s me. My one music that I’m passionate about. Love.”

Cut & folded paper artwork by Matthew Shlian: http://www.mattshlian.com/

"When DJing or making music, I try to go to a state where I can touch the edge of my subconsciousness and just feel, feel what I am thinking about or what moves me, and then explore that with sound. Kind of like a musical ouija board. 

I try not to consider genre, but more the monochromatic moody and potentially hypnotic nature of the music. 

I am trying to get you to forget time - to be totally within the moment and lose modern society's overly hectic and unnatural hurried view of time. To connect the listener back to eternity, a state of time where no time passes. 

To return to the source."

HEATER 1/30/20

Marking his first release following January’s ​Space Diver LP, ​Violet Pill sees the German artist incorporate dark techno tones, striking build ups, and progressive elements for a transcendent listening experience. Opening with the high-octane soundscapes on ​‘Babamba’​, Brejcha immediately pulls audiences in before taking a more ambient turn with the four-on-the-floor track ​‘On His Way’​. The EP then makes a sonic shift with the title track ​‘Violet Pill’​, a melodic roller featuring pitched down vocals and a driving bassline.
  
Following his meteoric rise to success, ​Boris Brejcha continues to take his self-coined ‘High-Tech Minimal’ sound across the globe, effortlessly fusing techno, electro, and trance with every release.

Theorem (M_nus), 29 May 2000, DEMF (Detroit Electronic Music Festival), DEMF stage, Day 3

A Story Teller with every set taking you on an intimate  journey, inviting you in her world of house and techno worship, with  soft melodies to harder pushes that keep you wanting more.   She plays a range of music, anything from deep house to techno, and her sets are crafted to fit the perfect vibe of the moment, always taking into careful consideration location and time of day.  

Andrea always had love for music. As a child she played the piano for years, and played the clarinet in school band. She ended up going to college for art, but she always painted with music in the background. Years later, she began to learn the art of DJing at a time when she felt uninspired to paint. She wanted to express her ideas and creativity, so she has decided to channel her creative energy through a different medium, music.  She quickly became obsessed, always digging, mixing and working on music related projects almost everyday.  Her determination and persistence has landed her gigs, playing at various venues around Detroit, such as Tangent Gallery and Dequindre Cut, as well as a residency at The High Dive, Hamtramck.   Follow her on Instagram (@andrea.kalajian) and Facebook, and stay updated on upcoming events!
