This week’s Mixtape Mondays artist is such an honor to me. I like to think that every DJ has a silent mentor, someone they admire, respect and study intently to see how they work and inspire your craft.

The team and I have been working real hard for the past week on this video about Detroit for our road trip challenge web site. The idea was to create some unique content for the site, and talk about all of the things we love about Detroit. It turned into a short documentary-style video full [...]
I am proud to once again be a part of Ignite Detroit, which is bringing the sequel to The Sound Board at Motor City Casino Hotel on April 14th, 2011. If you’re not familiar with Ignite events, it is a public speaking competition that is intended to start the flow of ideas in the community. [...]
Let me tell you about the hardest working DJ in Detroit. He goes by the name DJ Psycho. Over the span of his long career, he has managed to stay ahead and stay on top, and is still one of my favorite turntablists around. He is known for his ability to blend many forms of [...]
