From discogs: 

Underground Resistance is probably the most militantly political outcropping of second-wave Detroit techno. Combining a grubby, four-track aesthetic, an almost strictly DIY business philosophy, and an oppositional, militaristic ethos similar to Public Enemy without the drama (or the familiarity; the members refuse to be photographed without bandanas obscuring their identities), UR have redirected their portion of the Detroit techno legacy to social activist ends, trading mainstream popularity and financial success for independence and self-determination. Begun in the early '90s by Detroit second-wave trinity Mike Banks, Robert Hood & Jeff Mills, UR adapted the flavor and kick of early Detroit techno to the complex social, political, and economic circumstances in the wake of Reagan-era accelerated inner-city decline, and was formed as an outlet for uncompromising music geared toward awareness and change.

The early UR catalog is defined by a typically Detroit combination of Motown and Chicago soul, and ruthless, at times caustic lo-fi techno, acid, and electro (Mills' background is in, among other things, Chicago industrial and EBM-style electro-techno, with Banks and Hood both coming from a solid house and techno base). Much of the label's early output was the product of various permutations of Banks, Mills, and Hood, both solo and in combination, before Mills and Hood left UR in 1992 to pursue (and achieve) international success. Banks continued to operate UR in the wake of the split, releasing EPs such as "Return of Acid Rain," "Message to the Majors," and "Galaxy to Galaxy" under the UR banner, as well as 12-inches by increasingly renowned artists such as Drexciya, Suburban Knight and Scan 7. The first actual full-length credited to Underground Resistance was 1998's Interstellar Fugitives. When the UR and Submerge Recordings Headquarters moved from 2030 Grand River to 3000 E Grand Blvd., the UR 'family' transformed again by assigning new members such as DJ 3000, S², Aquanauts, Buzz Goree and most notably the live band Los Hermanos.

1st Take Sessions Vol. 4 'Drum Therapy' (Sw3rv3 - Mobile Unit) Live Drum and Bass Session

Like Hip Hop, Techno Rave was what it was called in the very beginning of the American scene.  Hip would be the knowledge. Hop would be the Dance.  Techno was the Music, Rave was the Movement.  1990 The Peace Love Unity Movement.  In those first three years Rave expanded cross country and by 1993 every city in America had events.  Techno Rave had been dropped as Rave Music became commercialized & the Movement now worldwide.

Techno went back to it's underground roots from Detroit and Movement now established became about Respect.  Respect the Movement.  This was 1993.

Moving forward 30 years, Detroit Techno Militia are the gatekeepers of truth in Techno city.  They came to Brooklyn to spread the Detroit Love in a time and place where New York City is more like Gotham then the NYC we knew.  

But when Brooklyn is in the House, Brooklyn is in the House.  A small dedicated crowd of ravers & clubbers alike kept this party going unitl about 9 a.m.  

I played 1:20-2:40 a.m.  80 minutes.  When dipped in reality, we really represent the real in this culture.  Signiture styles which come from the beginnings of both Techno & Rave and can be copied but not duplicated.

DETROIT TECHNO MILITIA NIGHT IN BROOKLYN / MARCH 1, 2024

Got a high energy session for the listeners this week. A bit of a change from typical Sw3rv3 mixes, plenty of vocal tunes with some classic samples, some grimey bangers, a bit of liquid, handful of drum heavy tunes and a bit of jungle for good measure, closing out with one of my favorite tunes from Monrroe. Hope you enjoy the ride, thanks for listening. Let us know what you think in the comments and keep it locked!

'Never Too Old' (Sw3rv3) Exclusive DnB Session

Was feeling a more chill vibe after putting 'Never too Old' together and as an aside I really appreciate the warm feedback from that set and the show that I played it in, the crowd and our SSS fam showed lots of love and that's why we do this so big ups to the peeps that support. Mad Love.

Got a nice little airy session for the listeners this go round, featuring some fluid tunes from homie Duoscience to lead us off followed by a dope Con-Figure track forthcoming from the Codename:RCRDS homies then rolling off into a real slick tune from Alkali. A nice lead chapter that I'm pretty happy with, vibing into a solid atmospheric section accented by a couple more forthcoming tracks from the up and coming Codename:RCRDS label. A bit of a change of pace, hitting the refresh button. Hope you enjoy, Cheers Fam 👊🎧

Kevin Saunderson, one of Detroit techno`s founding fathers and an inspirational DJ who can lift a crowd with anything from hard techno to slick, funky house, enhances the X-Mix series with a Transmission from Deep Space Radio.
Deep Space Radio was a mid 90`s show on Detroit`s WGPR 107.5, coceived by Juan Atkins and aiming to showcase cutting edge dance music in a way no radio station has ever done before or since. Kevin Saunderson was one of the many influental DJ`s who contributed regular mixes.
Using turntable techniques augmented by edits and other studio magic, Kevin Saunderson`s X-Mix recaptures the excitement of a classic Deep Space Radio show, while remaining musically close to his enthralling live set.

This is a chill little mix I threw together a while back for the new concept series Loungin' and just never got to releasing it. The idea for this series is a spot for mostly laid back jazzy and soulful tunes. I know these probably aren't the favorite subgenres for alot of you DnB listeners out there but it's a vibe I'm into so give it a shot and give a like and share if you're feelin' the session. Between the fresh newborn with seven siblings and running a business hopefully I'll have the time to lay down some more volumes here soon, patience is a virtue.. 

Thanks for listening!

Sw3rv3 _Loungin' Vol. 1

in cider jungle pt 5

This year I'm kicking off a new mix series to celebrate the first 25 years of this century: 21st Century Music! Each mix will contain only music from this century. To kick things off, here's a mix of proper techno music from the beginning of the century. This is very personal for me, as this is a point at which I was really engaged with techno - listening to it, dancing to it, thinking about it, and playing it. This is the point when I was a student at Edinburgh University, and I was visiting the (sadly no longer with us) Studio 24 on Calton Road practically every weekend with friends to enjoy techno clubs like Dogma, Pillbox, Apex, Subtle Logic, and more. 

This was a time when techno was really fun and interesting, the time of 'hard grooves', of funky techno, of high impact, danceable music, before the walls of minimal closed in and techno got really, really boring for a while. There's been a revival of this style in recent years (see my Stranger tribute mix, for instance), which is not surprising, because this style of techno is just so much more fun than minimal.

Enjoy!
