DJ Meph (dot) Net

I met Joey P early in the beginning of my DJing days, when I was still very wet behind the ears, but very eager to learn. Joey was one of those people who were always glad to impart their knowledge on me, as well as instilling in me a sense of pride in both the [...]

A couple of weeks ago I got a strange invite on Facebook to an event called “Detroit Egg tasting party at my house”. That’s a weird one, right? The invite was from Norm “DJ Meph” Witte III, one of our very own contributors. The Detroit Egg was his baby, and he was ready to unleash [...]

DJ LaJedi is a very interesting person who I personally have a lot of respect for. Her DJ moniker, LaJedi, (pronounced “la heady”) was a name that was given to her by native guides and travel companions when she backpacked through Mexico, near the seas, pyramids and pueblas. It is the Mexican translation of Jedi. [...]

I met my roommate, Brian Mulloy, at TEDxDetroit last year. He is a Detroit historian, and his presentation was the story of how the French laid the foundation for Detroit. The French intended for Detroit to be a eutopian society where they would live together with the native Americans and learn from each other in [...]

Michigan Central Station is right down the street from me, and despite the blight that it has become, is still one of the most beautiful structures in Detroit. It’s been abandoned for more than twenty years, a token remnant of the once thriving railroad industry that was pulverized by Eisenhower to make room for the [...]

At first I was skeptical about this. A few months ago a mixtape was released on Soundcloud that was supposed to be a live recording of Derrick May from 1988. I posted it on Twitter, and Derrick May replied back to me to let me know that it wasn’t him, and that it was some [...]

I found this on Reddit today, posted by a good friend of mine. It is a graphical history of the Detroit Tiger’s logo. Here is a fun fact about the “D”: Many want to call it the “Olde English D” but if you say that to an Englishman, they will be quite offended. The Detroit [...]

Every Tuesday, tweeters from all over Metro Detroit gather at various cafes to meet, network and discuss relevant issues about the digital marketplace. It’s called Tweetea. I’ve been a part of the community since the very beginning, and have found it to be very rewarding. Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 presented somewhat of a challenge for [...]
