Bside Incoming: Detroit in Effect

Well, well, well… this episode is a special one… we’re very pleased to mark the century with a legend.

It’s Detroit in Effect for our 100th Episode!

D.I.E have been electro royalty since the 90s, thriving in a city moulded by music: from local radio stations and musical communities, to Motown, Gospel and Parliament’s Funk, through to the pioneering hip-hop infused electronic music of the modern era. 
 
There’s a lot you could say about Detroit in Effect, but, their tracks speak for themselves:

So we’re flying you all out to Motor City to meet DJ Maaco from Detroit’s finest electro collective. We’re gonna take a little look into his record bag and pick out some of his all time favourite Bsides. While the first half reads like a Funky Hall of Fame, with Carl Carlton, Rick James and George Clinton, the second half tells us a little more about his D.I.E influences with electro legends like Cybotron, Egyptian Lover and Paul Hardcastle.

Bside podcasts

DJ's showcase and speak a little about their favourite tracks from the B-side of their records.

We endeavour to broadcast the best of the B-side:
a bi-weekly invitation into the impressive record collections of some of our favourite selectors.
An exploration into the the back-catalogues, the deepest depths, the darkest crevices of their collections. Returning with the spoils of this venture: their most cherished records and hidden gems, from the go-to club weapons to the rarely heard home-listening records, and everything in between.

Music is for sharing.

'By the early sixties, the song on the A-side was the 'hit' song that the record company wanted radio stations to play. The B-side would contain less radio friendly and less popular tracks. In our eyes the B-side is a true reflection of the producers taste in music, there is more personality on that side of the record'.

Until the way grouve
