Ask A Thug For Directions

Chris Macom — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 16:50:51 +0000

I think it’s funny when people talk negatively about Detroit and treat it like a nuclear wasteland.

Genre Clash- Drum & Bass vs. Dubstep

Chris Macom — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 20:39:14 +0000

There is no doubt that dubstep and drum & bass have their similarities, both incorporating reggae infused electronic rhythms and wobbling swamp bass. They also have many differences. Although in the UK dnb was seen as rather popular in its day, in the US it was reserved more for hardcore ravers and vampire death scenes. [Continue Reading]

DJ Ethics: The Pioneer CDJ

Chris Macom — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 21:00:11 +0000

Last night when I was about to go to bed I had a horrible scenario pop into my head. What the hell would I do if one of my Technic 1200′s broke or got stolen? What would I replace it with? With Techs being discontinued and increasingly getting harder to find, what do I do? [Continue Reading]

Genre Clash- The Nu Disco

Chris Macom — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 20:12:41 +0000

The term nu disco has been floating around the electronic music scenes for the last 8 to 10 years but not solidified as a genre until 2008 when online record shops started to adopt it. Most nu disco tracks are re-edits of 70′s and early 80′s disco music and pressed on to white labels to [Continue Reading]

Movement 2011 Complete Line-Up

Alex Calhoun — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 19:42:38 +0000

Breaking from the tradition of years past, the complete line-up has been released almost two months before The Movement Electronic Music Festival.

DEMF/Movement Milestones

Chris Macom — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 21:48:54 +0000

With Movement 2011 approaching I’m reminded of the constant fear of the festival coming to an end. With all the changes throughout the years it is surprising that the festival can still retain it’s core traditions. Of coarse it isn’t free like it was in the DEMF days but we knew this was too good [Continue Reading]

Detroit Loves Japan@Berts Motown Room, 3.18.2011

Alex Calhoun — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 23:34:02 +0000

Haven’t been out in some time, so it felt good to make it down to Bert’s in Eastern Market for some House music and a good cause. Now my previous experience with Bert’s has always been the annual mega-raves (Shazzam, Blakout, ect.) so it was cool just checking out the Motown Room. Bonus, all the [Continue Reading]

DJ Ethics: Vol 1

Chris Macom — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 03:38:30 +0000

It doesn’t seem too long ago that I was questioning whether using a digital vinyl system was cheating or not. I knew because I would be able to see the waveforms in Serato that It would be easier to mix, flat out. I also knew that this would make me able to mix faster without [Continue Reading]

New J.T.C Album

Alex Calhoun — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 18:38:01 +0000

A lot can be said of Ann Arbor based producer Tadd Mullinix. Whether he’s dropping amazing hip-hop beats a Dabyre, melting the speakers as Sk-1, or heating up the dancefloor as James T. Cotton, it would seem he possesses the Midas touch in a wide variety of electronic music genres. I have been a huge fan of [Continue Reading]

DTH Podcast Ep.4- Bsides & Edits

Chris Macom — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 22:31:00 +0000

It is cold out there and everything is trashed. The only fragments of musical life we can see are hidden inside broken down buildings with Motown 45s in a suitcase but it’s a little cold for adventuring. So blessed be the internet. Blessed be garage sales. Bless Craig and his list. The ability to equip [Continue Reading]

If there is one thing I like more than old school electro shows, it’s Classic Detroit electro shows-in an art gallery! The MOCAD in downtown Detroit would be the destination for the night, and this is where the journey began. An opening of a few new exhibits would be the reason for the event. The [Continue Reading]

Record Show!

Alex Calhoun — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 16:24:54 +0000

Made it down to a record show in Royal Oak yesterday to do some serious digging. Not a ton of vendors, but really an overall fantastic selection to go through. You could have gone nuts in all the $1 boxes loaded with funk, soul, and Motown. Electronic music was a little more far and few [Continue Reading]

Miss Shelrawka-Polarity Mix

Alex Calhoun — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 02:34:50 +0000

Buying Vinyl In A Digital Age

Alex Calhoun — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 03:56:17 +0000

I’m a rather obsessive record collector. I’ve heard and made the vinyl vs. digital argument 1000 times, but I’m still a vinyl addict. It’s more than just the sound, the whole experience of buying records that makes them more appealing. The one downside of digital music has been the dwindling number of merchants willing to [Continue Reading]

Where To Get Digital Tracks

Chris Macom — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 06:43:06 +0000

Every time I DJ someone always asks where I get my tracks at. Most people will assume I use some kind of illegal means through torrents and such but that is not the case. Being a turntable enthusiast, I have become quite accustomed to paying anywhere from $7 to $20 for vinyl. Paying $1 or [Continue Reading]

Mixtapes! Mixtapes! Mixtapes!

Alex Calhoun — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 16:24:50 +0000

Once upon a time, magnetic tape was the the audio medium of choice for DJ’s/Producers to spread their work to the great masses. I used to love getting out of a rave, and making that long drive home bumpin a tape that somebody had handed me that night. I’m sure somewhere in my archives( ok, [Continue Reading]

Moldover- Inventor/Musician

Chris Macom — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 20:33:27 +0000

Moldover has got to be the nuttiest musician I have come across in a long time. With so many inventions under his sleeve, I wonder how he even has time to make music. My favorite contraption of his has got to be the Octomasher. Eight midi controllers, each taken apart by him and completely remastered [Continue Reading]

A Little Late 90′s Detroit Nostalgia

Alex Calhoun — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 14:19:17 +0000

So we all remember Motor, and all the good times had therein.(Unless you aren’t from Detroit) I found this little gem awhile ago so I thought I would post it up.

Movement 2010: Monday

Alex Calhoun — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 02:05:00 +0000

Ahhhhh….Monday. Usually the least busy day of the festival, full of those recovering from the night before(if they even made it out of bed) and those who refuse sleep for the duration on the weekend. I made it down to Hart Plaza around mid-afternoon, and got to catch the last part of Sean Deason’s set. [Continue Reading]

Movement 2010: Sunday

Chris Macom — Mon, 31 May 2010 19:40:00 +0000

It sure was a hot one yesterday. With the intense heat from the sun and all the hot music going on, you could say that I was overheated by the end of the night. I got down to Hart Plaza around 4:00PM and immediately headed over to the Beatport stage to check out The Martinez [Continue Reading]

Movement 2010: Saturday

Alex Calhoun — Sun, 30 May 2010 16:54:00 +0000

I always look forward to the first day of Movement, everythings all fresh and clean, not yet defiled by a constant stream of ravers, freaks, tech-heads, and all around partiers. The weather was great yesterday, almost too hot. When we got Downtown, to my horrific surprise, the lot on top of Cobo was closed and [Continue Reading]

Hawtin Plastikman Coachella

Chris Macom — Fri, 14 May 2010 01:27:00 +0000

Don’t mean to be overly “hawtiny” but there seems to be a plethora of video out on him lately and with Movement coming up I thought this should apply. Check out Richie Hawtin talking bout his Plastikman setup for Coachella. Plastikman Behind-The-Scenes @ Coachella 2010 from URB Magazine on Vimeo.

Ka-Pow! Glitch Mob @ The Majestic

Alex Calhoun — Thu, 06 May 2010 02:40:00 +0000

Who Cares what a DJ performs with?

Chris Macom — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 18:42:00 +0000

I’m on a mission to find out if it really matters what a DJ spins with. This topic has been going on every since I have been involved in the DJ scene in Detroit. Ten years ago the argument was about turntables vs. cd players, and now it has shifted to digital vinyl systems vs. [Continue Reading]

So Deaf!

We got there a bit early and had a few beers downstairs, and I was amazed at the crowd I saw [Continue Reading]

Elektron Octatrack

Chris Macom — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:30:00 +0000

New gear from Elektron looks to be very interesting. “Ableton in a box” is what it is being called. Sounds like Aphex Twin in a box to me. All about titty twisting samples. No price or release date but I’m sure it will be well above a G note.

Alex Calhoun — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:15:00 +0000
