  1. Year 2020 : Week 27 : Gino

    07/10/2020

    Year 2020 : Week 27 : Gino

    “My name is Alex Gaggino, I make art and DJ as Gino. I host a happy hour called Snack Time at TV Lounge focused on artistry, community, and deliciousness. I’ve been educating and mentoring youth in Detroit for 10 years. I started DJing in Ann Arbor, inspired by Movement. I was an intern for Soul Clap Records which gave me an intro to the industry. I’m thankful to work with TV Lounge and Rocksteady Disco which has a parallel to the range of music I like to mix.”   “Detroit is where the best music in the world is heard. Between the DJs, producers, rappers, musicians, AND visual artists it’s a wicked creative force. Taste becomes refined among listeners and talent. People dance to great dance music here. Also, they are my friends, my mentors, my employers, my peers, my love, it’s my job, it’s my escape.”   On being a Detroit DJ “Do it right. Do it for the love. Do it with knowledge of the foundation.”   About this mix “I started playing some ambient to accompany the glorious storm tonight and it turned into something expressive of the experience we’ve been through so far this year. Programmed as a narrative, the mix includes moments of being built up and let down, moments of exhausted confusion, moments of pain and anxiety, along with a single burst of determination and justice via a Peter Croce edit. It may not be my most ‘fun’ mix ever but it is a thoughtful one keeping in mind the weight of the events happening in our country and being true to how it affects our spirit. May it heal.” ~Gino (June 27, 2020)   Gino’s Links Gino’s Linktree →   Listen on Apple Podcasts → Listen on Google Play → Listen on Soundcloud →

    Year 2020 : Week 26 : Alex Wilcox

    “Hey y’all, I’m Alex.  I was born in Texas, and I’ve moved around a lot.  I make music, and run a record label/YouTube channel called RESPONSE.  I’ve got two EP’s coming out very soon – one is up for pre-sale now with DJ Holographic, and the other one is solo and will be a RESPONSE release.  These go live on July 10th, and end of August/early September respectively.”   “I love how the Detroit scene has a very “homegrown” feel and very often feels genuine.  I appreciate the fact that the people of Detroit seem to have a certain toughness to them.  I love the diversity of the city and how that has shaped my perspective.”   On being a Detroit DJ “It means a place where I’ve been able to get my feet wet in terms of DJing.  The warm and welcoming scene of Detroit has been great for my growth as a musician since being able to spin informs my production process.”   Track List   Sleep Paralysis : Alex Wilcox HI. (Unreleased) : Alex Wilcox CAPI.

  3. Year 2020 : Week 25 : Gustav Brovold

    06/24/2020

    Year 2020 : Week 25 : Gustav Brovold

    Gustav Brovold was born in 1991, grew up in Royal Oak, and then in his later teens bounced between upstate New York and New Mexico. He moved back to Detroit when he was 18 and never left. He has been a fixture in Detroit’s bar and restaurant scene slinging drinks and managing. He played in Deastro with Randy Chabot, Thor Brovold, and Marty Roy. Later played in Ter(r)a with Ben Christensen. He is one of the founders of Adult Contemporary with Drew Roberts, Randy Chabot, Thor Brovold, Chad Silbert, and many others. He helped with Pure Rave along side Bryan Dulaney and Nick George. He produces with tons of synths and stuff under his own name, Gustav Brovold, as well as under the alias Radio Brovold. You can find his releases on Don’t Be Afraid out of UK, Detroit Electronic Quarterly, and Portage Garage Sounds.   “We’re all nerds. Nerds who like good music and can party. We all geek out over new synthesizers, equipment and midi routing, or weird b-sides imported from Japan. The ‘nerddom’ of it all brings a purity to it. It’s not watered down, everyone seems to be pure in their ventures through the scene. People very rarely do it for praise or acceptance, but rather for…selfish obsession? Geeking out? Love? I can’t find the word. The people in the scene would still continue making these jams if there never was a show in the city again.”   “The history is also important. The pioneers of the music are still around, and kicking just as hard as they ever were. It’s nice to see them around the city, living their life and participating in the scene. It’s inspiring and gives you the power to continue on, seeing our idols living in the same space as we are.”   On being a Detroit DJ “Man, haven’t really figured that out yet. It seems that it’s an amorphous thing. Changing all the time. Every set is different. Everyone you play with is different. Shows usually aren’t just 6 hours of acid or a whole night of techno, but rather a whole spectrum of genres. Nights can start with boogie and slow jams, then end on some 150bpm ghetto tech shit. Nights at Detroit parties can take you on a journey, every turn going somewhere completely unexpected. It’s nice to be a part of that. It’s a blessing to both get lost in the crowd, as well as see your self as a small part of the whole.”   Gustav Brovold’s Links Northwinds Sample Packs →   Listen on Apple Podcasts → Listen on Google Play → Listen on Soundcloud →

    Year 2020 : Week 24 : Ryan McCray

    “I’m a music lover and creator in my core. Creating music in some capacity has defined me for most of my life. I’ve made house, techno, hip-hop beats, R&B beats for Bevlove, metal, etc. I find influences in many genres and I bring it all back in to see what I can come up with.”   Ryan was born on Detroit’s Eastside, where his musical journey began with cello in elementary school. In middle school he and his friends started a rock/metal band, where he played bass. In high school he met Sean Riddell, who was a rapper and made his own beats. Ryan got a copy of Sean’s software and began making beats as well. In college, he started getting into House, then Techno, and started to produce it. After college, he moved back to Detroit and linked up with Ryan Thomas (Bale Defoe). They started Choose Better Friends Records with Jessica and Phil Mnnick and have been kicking it ever since.   “I’m forever in debt to many producers and DJs in Detroit that have taught me a thing or two. Detroit is a place where the hustle is real and the community tight. A wealth of talent, skills, and wisdom that people are open to share. A Detroit DJ is how I identify myself and I am proud to say that.”   On being a Detroit DJ “Detroit is where it all started for me and is where I grew into a DJ. Being a DJ in Detroit is a badge of honor that any DJ is and should be proud to wear. With so much history, culture, and talent, Detroit is a city that is respected within the industry. On that same note, I find it important to represent the city and show the great things that are happening here.”   Ryan McCray’s Links Facebook → Soundcloud → Bandcamp → Resident Advisor →   Track List What It Is : Ryan McCray African Power : DASCO The Tribute : Sebb Junior Soulfood : Maxx Mortimer Tropicana : Demuir, Josh Butler Lotta Bounce : WAAJEED Memor1e5 : Adryiano Submarwhip : Ryan McCray Don’t Change It Up : Pontchartrain The Future : TRP Quinn : Alex Siedel Little Talks : Carlo featuring Nikoss Boogie Nocturno : Carlo La Belle : Tom Jay   Listen on Apple Podcasts → Listen on Google Play → Listen on Soundcloud →

    Year 2020 : Week 19 : Alan Bogl

    “Hi! I’m Alan. When I was in grade school the youth group DJs were my babysitters, as a result I was exposed not only to great music at a young age, but also event production, which if you know me, is my true love. I produced my 1st shows with some schoolmates; punk rock shows at St. Dominick’s gym when I was 16. I discovered techno on Easter break from my first year at CMU in ’92. I never went back to CMU, but instead found myself working the door at Industry in Pontiac. That’s how I met Steven R. and Marke B. and started producing shows with Voom, then later with Sam Fotias under Bent Fabric. A lot of things happened…so many things…then I met Johnny Saco when we DJ’d at a Hardware party – we hit it off and started DJing together, making music, and throwing parties under the Motor City Macks moniker. We made tracks on our MPC, 808, and a Korg Triton. We played a few live shows, doing our best to piss Mike off when we would drop bass bombs! Those glory day memories always make me smile. I still love buying and playing vinyl – I pick up all kinds of different records, but have a love for 90’s records in particular, and on this mix you’ll hear a few of those. These days I’m partners with Mike Fotias at Audio Rescue Team where we drop proper rigs all around town, catering to the needs of Detroit and the world’s best DJs. Honestly nothing gives me more pleasure than working with all the great talent the city has to offer; I’m truly blessed – thanks for listening!”   “I love Detroit because of the People! Detroit is where my tribe decided to reincarnate this time around, and I think we can all agree it’s turned out to be pretty special. Detroit is extraordinarily magical and full of so much creative energy it’s truly mind blowing as well as soul filling. The creative energy combined with the grit and determination make for a highly catalytic environment. I’ve been blessed to work alongside so many talented Detroiters producing so many cool shows. I feel spoiled rotten. I’m excited to continue doing my part to add to Detroit’s greatness alongside all of you.”   On being a Detroit DJ “DJing in Detroit is so special because first; the people that come out usually want to boogie so you’re going to have a great time in the booth, so long as you fill that bag with quality tracks. Second, this town has so many amazing DJs that it’s an honor just to get on the decks…also a lot of those great, even legendary DJs will potentially be at any given show, and you want to represent, and you will…so long as you fill that bag up tight and right. All jokes aside, it’s truly humbling to be a citizen of such an amazing city and to be a part of its scene.”   Track List Good Lies (A Good Christian edit) : Tom Trago You : Sex-O-Sonique Soul Grabber Pt. 3 : Paul Jacobs Out of Hand : Bass Bin Twins Sorry I’m Late : KollekLIV Turmstrasse Benediction : Lxury Remix This is the United States Calling : Valley of the Big Bass & Big Bass Drum Plumpy Chunks : Plump DJs Brown Acid : Bootasaurus U Got the Hook : Pirate Breaks The Lick : 2 Inda Bush Dirty Loop Lightning : DJ Icey Untitled : Bass Bin Twins I Can Do It Faster : DJ Huda Hudia Untitled : Bass Bin Twins Don’t Stop Me Know : Queen   Listen on Apple Podcasts → Listen on Google Play → Listen on Soundcloud →

We go through an ever changing rebirth that is very refreshing.”   On being a Detroit DJ “Artists in this city create outside of the box. I approach DJing this way, basically no rules. Detroit DJs represent the city and are expected to leave an impression. I try to leave with minds blown and heads scratching.”   Track List I [Equal Recordings] : Chas & Jessie The Color Of The Fire : Boards of Canada Mono Patterns [Forward EP] : Roland King (Moniker of Mike Huckaby.

    Year 2020 : Week 17 : Jerry Downey

    Love bandit, music-deviant, late night party hero – Jerry Downey is the mind behind Sexual Tension Detroit and an enigmatic force in Detroit’s party scene. Downey cut his teeth DJing at after-hours parties in Detroit during the late ‘00’s. He regularly throws underground parties and has licensed music to household names such as Atlantic Records and Warner while artfully balancing life as an elected public official. His crucial role in the now-defunct Warehouse 1018, local residency track record, and studio efforts keep him busy with a frequent event schedule piloted by a mindful understanding of contemporary dance environments which has resulted in club appearances at nearly every major proving ground in the United States.   On being a Detroit DJ “In regard to playing dance music, there’s no denying that Detroit is an international proving ground with a deep-rooted history and rich culture. As a resident, it truly is a privilege to have access to our local record shops, incredible venues, mentors, and diverse and supportive community. These elements, in conjunction, are crucial to the health of any underground dance scene and I couldn’t be more grateful for the access to opportunity and information that the city of Detroit is able to provide. Detroit’s talent pool is world-class, often playing to more informed audiences. When you step into the booth of an intimate dancefloor here, you better come correct.”   Track List Feeling Love : L.E.B.
