This DJ set by Mike Servito was recorded somewhere on the astral plane (a filthy Detroit basement) on February 1, 2025, at Ritual Rave, a party celebrating the pagan holiday Imbolc, which signals the start of Spring.

Buckle up and get ready to crank that shit ‘cause you’re in for a wild ride. This set is laced with only the rawest, bitchiest, nastiest, sweatiest, most classic Detroit-basementiest @mikeservito cuts. The rave reviews are in and the critics are hailing it as “A masterpiece of Servito '95. Mike in his highest and most enlightened form. A set so transformative that it effortlessly and masterfully bends the time-space continuum. It's an aural bitchslap like no other. It’s quintessentially pureDetroitmoods."

Ritual Rave is an annual part of Imbolc: https://imbolc.cargo.site/

Few people have shaken up the dance world as much as Ron Morelli in recent years. With his punk attitude and lo fi aesthetics, his L.I.E.S. label has flooded the underground world with raw, dirty, imperfect music for freaks and outsiders. The New Yorker himself produces a sketchy variety of sound that draws on “the fear and repulsion of basic human interaction,” amongst other things, and he has also nurtured his own community of likeminded artists. Together they have made for an unlikely but influential crew of weirdos whose take on noise is truly singular. 

The one hour set he has served up for us here is just the same. It is a largely atmospheric affair that marries knackered drums with glassy melodies, deep space energies with an impending sense of apocalyptic doom. Always absorbing and subversive, this is insular music that runs a gamut of emotions from tortured to optimistic and thus keeps you trapped in Morelli’s musical head from start to finish.
