I live in my own mind, ain't nothin but a good time 
I’ve been off for the last couple of weeks. I’ve been super busy getting ready for DEMF and trying to move to Detroit. So, this week I am going to bring you not just one but TWO mixtapes from the best tag team DJs in Detroit. Stay tuned next week for another Mixtape Mondays exclusive [...]
Mixtape Mondays is going well, with many dedicated listeners who are tuning in every week! Since I started doing this, I have been trying to expand Mixtape Mondays across the pond, to work with some of my friends from all over the world and bring new perspectives to the Mixtape Mondays feature. I am proud [...]
Let me tell you a little bit about a small town in Michigan called Lake Orion. (stupidly pronounced OR-ee-un by the locals) With a total population of around 40,000 between the village of Lake Orion and the Township of Orion, its economy depends mostly on the GM automotive factory there. Over the past decade, not [...]
Kero is a DJ and producer from Windsor, that has made a name for himself over the last decade in Detroit’s underground scene. He also started his own record label called Detund. (Detroit Underground Records) Kero and his label will be featured at Movement 2011. Enjoy!
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. For me, that mentor is DJ Seoul, (@djseoul) a veteran and a staple in Detroit’s underground electronic [...]
I love hip hop instrumentals. Whether they are smooth and flow nicely, or chopped up and make your brain explode, hip hop producers and DJs that have stayed true to the game are putting out some of the most innovative music of our time. This week’s Mixtape Mondays artist, DJ Fudge, (@djfudge) is a veteran [...]
This album is a collection of 8-bit chiptune tracks that cover reggae, ska, dub and everything in between. If you are a fan of 8-bit music like I am, you will love this. However, this week’s Mixtape Mondays post is not for everyone. Some people just can’t get down to 8-bit music. Sorry.
I am thrilled to post another mix from my favorite new Detroit DJ duo, Heisenberg & Sheila. (@hsnbrg) This is their third release called “Dirty Love Mix”. As I have come to expect, Noël (@noel) and DJ Jenny Lafemme (@JennyLaFemme ) continue to produce hot, sexy house mixes and use some of the dopest tracks [...]
If you don’t know already, I was recently chosen by Chevy to represent Detroit in the Chevy SXSW Road Trip Challenge. Since no road trip is complete without a mixtape, I decided to make our own exclusive mix just for the trip! This mix is a lot more chill than what you’ve come to expect [...]
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 [...]
Chris Ginetti is a UI designer and DJ/Producer from Ann Arbor, MI. His soundcloud is full of dope progressive house tracks. Today’s mix was Draconum’s set for Youmacon 2010, an annual anime convention held at the Renaissance Center in Detroit.
I’m very excited to post this week’s mix. Heisenberg & Sheila (@hsnbrg) is made up of two local Detroit DJ’s, DJ Jenny LaFemme (@jennylafemme) and Noël. (@noel) Jenny LaFemme is a Detroit local favorite of mine, who I’ve seen spin at Gracie’s Underground in Ferndale, many times. Noël is a web designer, musician and all [...]

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 [...]
I got the chance to work with today’s Mixtape Mondays feature artist at the Chevy SXSW Epic Tweetup last August. One thing that stood out to me about John, was his interactive nature. After the Epic Tweetup, he posted his set online and shared it with everyone, complete with a setlist. I love house music. [...]
