Had 2 do it 2 em!!

Here's my lil homage to Detroit and that Midwest electronic sound baby! Freaky electro, tweaking acid, all that ish. U know exactly what I'm talking about ;-)

Filled with Detroit and Detroit-adjacent artists and sounds that remind me of the 313 and the music that got me hooked on this shit.

Ode 2 Detroit

A broken beat, percussive swirl of sounds...

...a soupy concoction of uk bass, hard drum, electro, breaks, a little trance, maybe even some idm? Honestly I'm not sure how to describe this one. I recorded it during a swell of emotions and needed that cathartic, musical release.

4 those seeking pleasure... something 2 tickle yr brain a bit...

Interval is a series of mixes from artists that inspire us.

This edition is from Detroit's Fusegrade, who is an affiliate of the underground party 'Formula'. Fusegrade developed his unique approach to DJing through his experience of listening and digging at a fervent pace for >10 years. He was first exposed to electronic music through online forums and local raves / functions (particularly Plastikman). He continues to dig, sometimes to the point of exhaustion, and is motivated to expand his artistry of DJing. 

This mix is a live recording from his debut at Interdimensional Transmissions x Paxahau on 11.29.22 outside at The Tangent Gallery, with sound from Bing Audio.

"A transposition of emotions to sound… a journey through what I was feeling at the time. The beginning is broken and jarring, erratic and unsettling… riding through false peaks and fragmented breakdowns. It’s a bit dark and unclear as to what will happen next. As time goes on, there’s a slow build up of clarity: you can feel yourself coming out of the darkness and into something brighter… something freeing. You feel lighter at the end…. skin tingling with tenderness and elation."

Our third installment for this year comes from @jem4u, a community organiser & DJ hailing from Detroit, determined to introduce us to the new sounds breaking through from the next gen there - and we’re all about it.

JEM, a raver first, DJ second. Mixing a freaky fusion of leftfield electro, uk bass, wave, idm, acid, and more.
With a musical background stemming from everything but electronic music, expect the unexpected when it comes to her sets. You’ll hear influences from punk, Motown, jazz, hip hop, shoegaze, rock.Her inspiration knows no bounds.

Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit and now a proper city resident of ten years. Detroit is ingrained in her and she is representing the birthplace of techno from a point of view focused on recognizing and sharing the rich musical and cultural history of the city, while simultaneously pushing the status quo and breaking boundaries of what electronic music is "supposed" to be.

About the mix:
This is a one-take, all-vinyl mix focusing on my collection of '90s/'00s hardgroove and rave records, with a few modern records included. I wanted to keep things simple with just two turntables and a basic mixer. Real old school shit. I feel like it transports you back in time to a warehouse or basement rave where there weren't any bells or whistles, trendy tricks or social media. But it's cool because, despite many of these tracks being 20, even 30 years old, the sounds still feel relevant and bangin' for today.

Two pals playing fun music at a cool place. Get a little tripped out, dance a little bit.
Eclectic sounds churned up on a low & slow setting. 

Trip-Hop/Funk/Jazz/whatever. 

We largely appreciate @mansions-recordings for the invite, and for their gracious hospitality.
