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.

Is it reality or is it an illusion? With Neptune, it is hard to tell. Neptune's influence reaches further than the ordinary senses, so there may be aspects of extrasensory perception at work. Illusion, fantasy and dreams are the playing field here, and the spirit is the primary force. Leading to all things mysterious, Neptune's watery depths are associated with dreams, visions, and the imagination.

A native of Los Angeles, California. I started DJ'ing in 1990 at the age of 15 with a pair of Technics (that still somehow work flawlessly). Changed forever by the underground sound that keeps me up at night and communities thriving around the world. Thank you for dancing!

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'.
