the Bridge vol.02- minimal detroit vol.004

preview clips from minimal detroit audio's inaugural release, mda 001

Limited vinyl available here: https://minimaldetroit.bandcamp.com/album/the-bridge

minimal detroit has deep roots in the city where techno was born, but the spirit of this music is intergalactic. This inaugural EP celebrates “The Bridge” established in Techno between Detroit and Berlin, which resonates around the world.

Side A features two Detroit legends, Terrence Dixon aka Population One and Rod Modell (Deepchord, Echospace), while Side B features two Berlin based artists - the inimitable Thomas Fehlmann (3MB, The Orb, Kompakt, Tresor) and Domenique Xander (Moods & Grooves Records).

The record itself is also a bridge, mastered in Berlin by Mandmade Mastering, and pressed by Archer Record Pressing, who have been pressing records in Detroit since 1965. This limited release is the first chapter of what will certainly be a long and beautiful musical story.

After producing a experimental electronic music since 1997 it is now about bringing together forgotten ties and marking unmarked spaces. Known as Berk Offset, as a part of the Cannibal Cooking Club duo since more than two decades or as founder of the Wakkler vinyl label it is time to discover the own roots, the core of machine funk, the essence of the personal fascination of techno music and its often very simple structures and raw elements. Waves for the basement, the place where it started.

Behind the Mix

About a year ago, I was at Detroit Threads when I saw this effortlessly cool cat drop off a fresh stack of records. DJ Disc, who was resorting records for the shop, lit up the moment he laid eyes on this particular double LP. Curious, I asked him who that was, and without missing a beat, he told me: “That’s Norm Talley.”

I didn’t hesitate. I grabbed a copy of the record—Straight Up No Chaser—and straight up chased Norm down the street just to introduce myself and ask for an autograph on his release with Delano Smith. That moment kicked off something bigger than I expected. I got on his record distro email list, and from there, a whole new chapter of digging began.

This mix is a direct result of that journey. It dives into the deep, minimal, hypnotic, beatdown—whatever-you-want-to-call-it—side of Detroit music. Much of it was discovered by virtually crate-digging through Norm’s emails, then following those trails into record shops, searching for sounds that carried the same emotional weight. And that weight? Grief, blues, perseverance, guilt, grit, hope, fear, the unknown. And coming back to music through the midst of it all. 

It’s funny—I’ve never really put into words the emotions these records evoke in me until now. But as I reflect, I realize they mirror where I’ve been for a minute. Maybe this mix was more personal— more “something for myself”—than I ever acknowledged before. Hope you dig it.

GAMADON- Minimal Detroit Mix

Borg, DJ and Producer, grew up moving frequently around metro Detroit, with the one constant in life has been music. Being exposed to everything from Jazz to classic rock, reggaeton to classical, his love for creating playlists started with burning CDs off his parents computer to play in the garage. With a goal of creating track lists that transitioned across artists and genres while keeping a consistent energy, this passion eventually transformed into mixing tracks just as seamlessly to transfer a mood & energy to his audiences throughout the set. Not knowing when one song has ended and the next has begun, but instead feeling like you're on a journey is what he strives for across his performances, all the while sharing the highs and lows of emotions through the music along the way.
