Detroit dance music thrives on intergenerational connections. In the late '70s and early '80s, the late Ken Collier mixed disco, soul and early electronic dance music in eye-opening DJ sets that left a mark on up-and-coming artists like Delano Smith. Once Smith established himself in the city's explosive techno community, he, in turn, influenced soon-to-be legends like Juan Atkins, Eddie Fowlkes, Jeff Mills, Norm Talley, Mike "Agent X" Clarke and others.

Now an elder statesman, Smith is etched into our history books as a crucial contributor to Detroit dance music, both house and techno. He's known especially for the Detroit beatdown sound he pioneered alongside Talley and Clark—slower, sexier records than what Detroit techno is generally associated for. (The trio even put out an RA Podcast under the name in 2010.) 

It's more recently that Smith has become known as a producer. He started his own label, Mixmode Recordings, and became a regular on Berlin imprint Sushitech, where he released many of his albums, including the jazzy deep house masterclass An Odyssey. His style has evolved over the years to incorporate ambient, dub and more contemporary techno influences.

More recently, Smith's career has been sidelined by an ongoing battle with a rare and untreatable form of cancer. He's hosted livestreams throughout his ordeal to keep in touch with his fans. His RA Podcast, which he calls his "Legacy Mix," is a celebration of his favourite sounds: euphoric chords, jacking drums and deep-space melodies, the elements that have and will continue to reverberate through Detroit and beyond. It also marks the beginning of a more hopeful period for Smith, as he gets ready to travel again, especially with his Legacy Detroit series, which celebrates the lineage he's an indelible part of, and always will be.

For Secret Thirteen journal we have worked on a special slowed down techno recording in the spirit of the live sets we have did for Polar Inertia’s recent exhibitions in Brussels and CCA, Tbilisi.

A couple of months ago we have changed all our gear and equipment, and collected new machines but somehow never had enough time to meet altogether and wire them. Finally, we have decided to hook up our new musical gear and equipment to improvise the future of Polar Inertia’s sound.

It was one of those studio jams you do not want to rush to. We took our time. Slowed down the tempo to 112 bpm and sent all synths through a multitrack recorder to catch every moment of the jam session. During hours of knob twisting we went through several states of mind and different styles.

What we are sharing with Secret Thirteen readers is an edited version of what happened that night.

Body Singer EP

One of Carl Craig's most iconic and influential early productions gets an official digital release for the very first time, newly remastered for 2025.

Taken from Jean-Cosme Delaloye's forthcoming documentary film, 'Desire: The Carl Craig Story', which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2024, 'No More Words' is a classic C2 production originally released in 1991 that became one of Detroit Techno's foundational tracks, capturing the emotive synths and tight grooves of Carl Craig’s sound that would soon resonate across dance floors worldwide.

Stay tuned for more news of the official soundtrack for Desire: The Carl Craig Story, coming soon on Planet E Communications.

No More Words (2025 Remaster)

With character and a refreshing light-heartedness, DJ City has built a strong following on European dancefloors over the last few years. Drawing from both old school Chicago, Italo, and contemporary producers, he playfully navigates the elements that make up a well-constructed dance floor. After a string of releases on labels such as Public Possession, he now also runs BAD DAD, his own party in Berlin, within which he cultivates, experiments, and plays around with the fundamentals of what it is to be a DJ. For the 51st edition of PHANTASYMIX, he's on hand to present a contemporary but classic vista of the timeless four-to-the-floor sound:

"There’s a lot happening in house music at the moment so I wanted to focus on recent releases for this mix. At the same time, you’ll hear a lot of grooves and moods that you'll instantly recognize and be familiar with. I love how House music always is referencing and pointing back in history. It constructs narratives and relationships that span time and space, something that feels extra important to me right now." DJ City

PHANTASYMIX 51: DJ City

Jon Dixon is a deeply talented producer and DJ who represents the new wave of Detroit whilst connecting very firmly with the roots and origins of music in the city.

Detroit remains one of the most forward thinking cities in the realm of music, evolving from Motown to the deeper, more rugged House and Techno which has inspired pretty much everyone else ever since. Detroit is the foundation - everything else is merely imitation.

Jon Dixon is crucially aware of this and remains very much connected to the origins of Jazz, House and Techno whilst continues to push things forward with dynamic production styles and his ability to collaborate with a broad array of musicians.

As a producer his style is deep and in parts dubbed out. It's emotive and helps to communicate the raw undercurrent of the city in the truest sense.

This mix features a number of his own cuts, versions, originals and collaborations cementing his place amidst the greats.
