This week, we're thrilled to present a high-octane, DAW-less electronic set from OMO! Our first encounter with OMO was at our Paramita takeover in December, where his energetic dance moves, magnetic personality, and deep passion for music hardware and samplers immediately caught our attention. Utilizing his trusted SP-404 and Elektron grooveboxes, OMO creates experimental dance music that is thought-provoking, mystifying, and endlessly groovy.

We connected with OMO at Ziggy's in Ypsilanti for Gear Lords—a monthly, hardware-focused electronic music showcase he hosts alongside the 734-based promoter-organizer, Evan Oswald. In this recorded set, OMO delivers an energetic mix of electronic flavors, showcasing his eclectic ear for samples and his captivating performance skills.

We're back this week with a vinyl kickback mix featuring BAD LISTENER DJs Adam DiPaolo, Billy Winters, Her Boyfriend & Swingvibe. Over the last few months, we've been locking in heavy with the vinyl DJ scene here in Michigan. We're super inspired by the vibrant community of selectors in Detroit & Ann Arbor who are committed to keeping vinyl alive and the amazing record shops and venues that bring them together. Shouts out to Threads, People's Records, Encore Records, Street Corner Music, Spot Lite, and Paramita Sound just to name a few! In this laidback vinyl mix, we're sharing some of our favorite recent finds and experimenting with a hybrid digital / vinyl equipment setup using Ableton. Have you ever seen anyone use Ableton as a vinyl DJ mixer? Let us know in the comments!

We’re back this week with a smooth mix of timeless selections on wax from @goldsm ! Gold is a super talented DJ, producer and vinyl enthusiast with a warm, inviting personality and eclectic sense of style that perfectly matches the groovy funk, disco and soul records in his crate. We got tapped in with Gold at Paramita where he holds it down behind the bar slinging drinks and behind the turntables serving up vibes and locking in the grooves - usually doing both at the same time! In this all vinyl mix, Gold brings joyous energy and classic vibrations to the booth.
