PITSCAST : DETROIT

Tammy Lakkis (@tammylakkis) is taking over the world, and we couldn't be happier 😄 She is an exciting sound maker in Detroit with an eclectic style not dissimilar to a creepy carnival ride. 🎠 This all-vinyl mix of evil fun house grooves celebrates the coexistence of dark and light. ☯️ She will be playing an event at The High Dive in Hamtramck tomorrow night (May 9 2018) with two other great artists Marshall Applewhite(@marshall-applewhite) and Jakob Harris (@audiaux)!

We are pleased to share this dynamic mix from a Detroit newcomer that many have had the pleasure of sharing a snack with already! 😉 Gino ( @ginoisland ) is one of the minds behind Snack Time Detroit, a creative and fun new happy hour event taking place every Thursday at TV Lounge. 🍕 He, along with fellow conspirator Andrew Charles, creates cool visuals and a friendly atmosphere that is welcome addition to the city's scene! 🖤

C10 (@c10-audio) is DJ and producer based in Tucson and they have shared with us an energy-infused mix, full of footwork and jit friendly material 😋 their style is widely varying and fittingly they have been featured on a variety of quality channels including Surface Tension (@surfacetension-sf) and The Brvtalist (@thebrvtalistxx). They also run a label putting out great material called Devine Records! (@devine-records) 😯 Check out their releases and enjoy this mix from C10!

Hold on to your pants because Acid Daddy (@mynameisjarvi) has a slew of hot jams on the eve of everyone's least favorite holiday! 💖 Music is all you will need this Valentine's Day and they have the soundtrack for all you freaky things 😈 We also have the pleasure of hosting them for our upcoming after hours event this Saturday at a secret location in Detroit! Come thru and check them out 😉

Permeator (@permeator) is back with a heaping helping of techno to compliment his recent release on our PRMR series! The track selection has a dark feel that matches his own productions and this mix just keeps hissing, thumping, and flowing along in the best ways. Recently playing a comeback set at Bunker in Toronto, expect to see him on PITS lineups with more releases to come! 🔥

Next up on our podcast series is a mind-melting mix from Fabiola (@cyberfab) including plenty of highly acidic material (^_^) She is a talented DJ and producer of Spanish descent, with a foot in both Detroit and Ann Arbor. She is part of the electronic music collective MEMCO (@memco) throwing great parties in our sister city with an authentic focus on inclusiveness and diversity.

Jaco Matthews (@jacomatthews) is a fresh new talent on the Detroit scene with some serious style and a penchant for seriously groovy disco cuts. We caught his set at Dally in the Alley this past summer and he had people stomping in the afternoon! He and co-conspirator Gino (@ginoisland) have a social happy hour at TV Lounge on Thursdays called Snack Time, featuring hot tunes and hot food. He also hosts regular gigs at Whiskey Disco. Catch him there Fri Jan 25 with Beige(@justbeige)!

Pure Rave (@purerave) is an experimental electronic noise project from Bryan Dulaney (@bleft_lord) and Nick George. The two are like techno geologists, digging up crazy sounds while throwing traditional 4/4 tools out the window. Both are active in the Detroit music scene as well. Nick provides great Japanese foods under his alias Dr. Sushi, while Bryan is a key figure in the elusive Adult Contemporary. They will be hosting a show with Pure Rave at Donovan's in southwest on Dec 22nd!

Peter Croce (@petercroce) is the founder and purveyor of fellow Detroit label Rocksteady Disco (@rocksteadydisco), and he does a prime job putting together great records and hosting fantastic events. Most can attest that he has been a strong supporter of the dance scene in the city, recently moving back from Chicago (another great city all the same ;) and rekindling his much-loved Sermon events at Temple Bar. This is a special mix, recorded live at Hot Mass (@hot-mass)in Pittsburgh to a very well received event with co-conspirator Pontchatrain (@pontchartrain)!

EZ Rowe has chosen to keep their identity obscure, however they call Detroit home and if you have frequented the after hours you have certainly encountered them. This mix from Rowe will transport your mind to that dark and foggy place and drip acid down your spine. A Scorpio Rising, they are extremely meticulous in the presentation of their craft. They are excited to provide an experience that facilitates freedom and personal expression on the dance floor.
