In the fall of 1995 five friends joined together to form a company known as Detor Productions. The name, Detor, was formed by a combination of the words Detroit and Toronto, the cities they called home. Various elements were taken from each of these cities' music scenes, along with up and coming talent from around the world, and were combined to create a unique and innovative party experience.
26 years later in April 2021 we lost two of our brothers, Jason Cutsinger, a founding member of Detor and Tim Baker, a regular at our events and long time friend.
On June 12th, 2021 Detor, in collaboration with friends and artists who were prominent at our events during the 90's, invite you to celebrate the lives of our brothers and to Remember.

Timeless Vibration [Forest Garden VA - Maia Brasil Recs]

At Data Transmission, we know it's important to look beyond our borders for new talent so with that in mind we’ve just crossed the Atlantic on the look out for fresh vibes and we've found just what we're looking for in the form of Antwon Faulkner.

Having cut his teeth hustling mixtapes on the Detroit circuit, Antwon has gradually extended his reach across North America culminating in a move to across the border to Toronto for the latest chapter in an eventful career. Primarily known for his dexterity on the wheels of steel, Antwon is now ramping up his production game by the delivering track the title track for Hijacked Radio Detroit’s ‘Deep Space Radio’ EP. Inspired by the Motor City’s influential radio show of the same name, the four track effort also features efforts from Matt Thibideau DJ 3000 and Greg Gow and has been locked into our playlists from the moment it landed in our inbox.

Exploring a wide range of four-to-the-floor beats in his mix, journeying through driving tech house Antwon masterfully maintains intensity throughout and has us locked in from start to finish. Mixed by hand (there's know digital manipulation in this set - no siree!) we can't imagine a better way to get ourselves warmed up for the weekend.

Dallas says, "Musical Freedom as a topic is something that’s very important to me. As a producer, an artist, and a fan of music, my philosophy is to expose yourself to all the music that you can, regardless of genre or age. So when I was asked to do this mix, I decided to play some records that I’ve loved throughout the years and have inspired me to create the music I do today. Some of the songs are fun, some are old, and some are beautiful, but they all play a part in the story of DallasK. I hope you like the mix! "

FFM157 | TIM BAKER
Elephanthaus - Chicago, USA

Tim Baker, a highly respected international DJ and producer emits a striking devotion to the music he produces, plays and remixes. This native Detroiter has a creative style of Djing, which fuses the funk with menacing percussion for a dramatic and emotional experience. His insight and passion for Detroit techno and house music began advancing in 1984 when he received his first turntables. The music which motivated his early phase of Djing included Cameo, Parliament, the B-52's, Bauhaus, Tangerine Dream, and Brian Eno. In the city of Detroit, the creative energy of the times was just beginning to manifest itself into the musical phenomena of 'techno'. Baker's frequent visits to several Detroit underground clubs left a lasting musical impression on him. The uninhibited presence of new music fueled his eagerness to DJ.

For the 21st century, Tim Baker will continue to uphold the repertoire of his labels by discovering innovative and creative talent. Tim extends his music capacity to new territories acquainting the world with his unique sound and vision. Tim's undeniable propelling force is to provide World Class DJ performances, incredible production and quality entertainment for the masses.

OWSLA Presents... The M Machine

Recorded live on Holy Saturday at the infamous Snax Party in Berghain, this is the first 3 hours of an extended set. "Once a year in honor of the old Ostgut tradition, Berghain closes its doors to the straight crowd and unleashes a no-holds barred gay marathon where anything goes. Due to the circumstances of it being a different crowd and different vibe, I figured I'd upload the set which is a bit harder and funkier than I typically play." -DZ

Live from Berghain [Snax Party] (30-03-13)

Productores: @jules-wells

El productor Frances Jules Wells tiene preparada su próxima referencia en Hijacked Records, el sello de Antwon Faukner. Midnight EP está formado por tres tracks de los cuales nosotros estrenamos Music is my life. El sonido que surge de sus composiciones ya viene respaldado por sellos como Electrofunk, Submerge o KMS. 

Con Music is my life queda demostrado que los artistas influenciados por el sonido Detroit hacen especial uso de los elementos clásicos del House; vocales, pads orgánicos, bajos y beats funk que te harán las delicias de un track con sonido classic pero producido en este 2020.

PREMIERE: Jules Wells - Music Is My Life [Hijacked Records Detroit]

Kontrollverlust

Kontrolle ist eine Illusion und ich kralle mich an ihr fest. Umklammere sie mit all meiner Kraft, doch muss sehenden Auges registrieren wie sie schwindet. Wie sie mir aus den Fingern gleitet, als würde ich beim Tauziehen auf der falschen Seite stehen. Langsam aber beständig schwebt dieses Konstrukt meines Verstandes zu Boden. Ich greife noch einmal nach. Gehe wehklagend in die Knie und halte die Luft an. Ich spüre, dass es sich um ein sinnloses Unterfangen handelt, doch ich kann nicht loslassen. Jede Zelle meines Körpers schreit mich an aufzugeben. Es einfach zu akzeptieren und zu beenden. Ich kann nicht mehr, halte dem Druck nicht länger stand und gebe Schlussendlich nach. Der Ohnmacht nahe, ergebe ich mich meinem Schicksal. 
Im ersten Moment geschieht nichts. Keine Schmerzen, keine Ängste oder Sorgen. Ich liege einfach nur da. Still und stumm lausche ich meinen Gedanken, bis der schier unendliche Storm versiegt. Dann kommt ein neues Gefühl in mir hoch. Frieden. Ich akzeptiere was ist und was war. Mit diesem Frieden kommt die Freiheit und Glückseligkeit breitet sich wie ein Lauffeuer in mir aus. 

Heute haben wir LENI zu Gast. Die Wahlleipzigerin ist noch relativ neu auf der Podcastwolke zugange, doch hat sich mit ihren ersten Sets bereits einen Namen, als talentierte und ambitionierte DJane gemacht. Mit ihren KataHaifisch Podcast bestätigt sie einmal mehr diese Einschätzung. Ihr Mix ist von Anfang bis Ende fesselnd. Sie präsentiert uns eine  reizende Mischung aus Downtempo und Organic House. Sanfte Vocals liebkosen mit fröhlichen Melodien. Treibende Basslines shakern ausgelassen mit Percussions. Wieder einmal handelt es sich um eine rundum runde Nummer. 

Wir sagen Dankeschön und wünschen einen vergnüglichen Vizefreitag <3

KataHaifisch Podcast 178 - LENI

Antwon Faulkner has been in the game since the late 80’s. Born and raised in Detroit, Antwon started hustling mix-tapes at the age of sixteen. With music in his blood, this is truly what he was born to do.

At thirty-five Antwon briefly relocated to Arizona but it wasn’t until late 2008, when he moved to Toronto, did we really get exposed to this next exciting chapter. While people may be more familiar with his DJ moniker, the infamous “Twonz,” in 2009 we got to know a new Antwon, an Antwon re-energized, excited and motivated. His focus shifted from throwing parties and DJing to making music and really honing his craft as a producer. Spending countless hours in the studio, Antwon is careful to avoid listening to others while in his creative zone so the product reflects him and him alone, devoid of any outside influences. With an upgrade in equipment and new pieces of gear, we’ve seen Antwon turn a corner in which he has found his lane and is settling in really nicely. The results are heard in using less loops and playing more of his own keys. While he still regularly releases tracks on his own imprint, “Hijacked Records Detroit,” recent years have seen him spreading the love with multiple releases and remixes on “Restructured Recordings,” “Bulletdodge Records,” “KMS Records,” "Downside UP," "Elephanthaus," "Thoughtless Music," "Motech LTD," "UNT Records," "Frequenza," "Sampled Detroit," and "RF Trax."

In 2018 he received the “TESTIMONIAL RESOLUTION PLAQUE” from the city of Detroit. His contributions in bringing the sound of Detroit to an international audience has caught the attention of many DJs worldwide. Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati, Gene Farris, DJ Bone, Seth Troxler, Laurent Garnier, Richie Hawtin, Steve Bug, Carl Cox, Kevin Saunderson, Kenny Larkin, DJ Heather, Pete Tong, Paco Osuna, Luigi Madonna, Hector Moralez, Stanny Abram, Stacey Pullen, and many more have played Faulkner’s tracks!
