Not many in the Detroit electronic scene need an introduction to our featured guest for this mix, Jo Rad Silver (@joradsilver). Recorded after Yom Kippur services of 2021 on an empty stomach with two turntables and an old 2 band eq Rane mixer.
Somehow soft and fast while being hard and slow. Though not exclusively a Detroit mix, his heart and ass are deeply indebted to Detroit music so even the records that are not from Detroit feel like they are! Last month he brought back his live PA monthly, Technically, Yeah. to a new venue at UFO Factory. Though still tenuous, he is excited to get back to loud music in person!

We are happy to welcome JEM (@jem4u) to our PITSACST series!
She's the founder of Every Woman Music (@everywomanmusic), a Detroit-based initiative aimed at connecting women in the electronic music scene and helping them gain more experience, exposure and inclusion. Her passion is evident in this project, recently hosting a series of live streams to raise funds for a variety of charitable organizations while also using her platform to support femme artists trying to get a foothold in the music world.
As exemplified in this burning hot mix, her style tends to gravitate towards electro, breaks, and 90s rave material.She draws her inspiration from outer space, the jungle, the color blue, and late nights lurking in the depths of a dark after hours club. -
It's a BABEXHOUSE TAKEOVER!! （*´▽｀*）

Special edition mix for the end of Women's History Month ~~
dos leches (@doslechesdosleches) is self-taught dj based in Seattle. Of Venezuelan descent, she uses sound to probe the concepts of identity, power and history through a subversive lens. Drawing from life experiences and diasporic roots, dos leches uses sound as a form of emotional therapy. The diversity of places, ideas and cultures is evident in her enthusiasm for deep sounds from across all spectrums that promote movement as a form of revolt.
Born out of Seattle’s underground music scene, Lyric Hernando Weiss aka La Niña (@la_ninyaa__) is an indigenous filmmaker and increasingly prevalent DJ in the local community. Propelled by her desire to create a refreshing and inventive club experience, she first showcased her entirely self taught abilities at small art galleries before jumping onto bills of highly sought after parties such as Jet, Confess, and House Party, until eventually snagging prime time slots at events like Kremwerk Pride. Just slightly over a year into her djing career she also co-founded and ran a bi-monthly show located in the heart of Capitol Hill called Artifact, and a couple years later, started opening for renowned producer giants such as Kittens - her biggest dj crush. Brought up by a family of musicians, her eclectic tastes make her extremely versatile, the result consistently ending in evocative and dynamic mixes that fluidly interweave everything from techno, DnB, experimental sound design, hip hop, club and more.
Dylan Fleck aka BIMBO HYNOSIS (@bimbohypnosis) is an Indigenous DJ and producer native to the Seattle area. As one of the founding members of BABEXHOUSE, she helped guide them through their original residency at Kremwerk nightclub. Dylan has been passionate about music from a young age, studying Jazz and Blues piano for several years before getting into production. She has been performing under a number of aliases since the late 2000s, and wrote her first track at 8 years old with Cakewalk and a Roland XP. She's currently working on several solo and collaborative projects which will be released later in 2021
Seattle-based N SO (@n-so)has been a part of the local underground music community since 2015, dedicated to creating a dynamic club experience that is as engaging as it is challenging. Her alias stems from the Zen word ensō, a circle that is hand-drawn in one uninhibited brushstroke to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. ‘N SO’ seeks to embody a feeling more than it serves as an identity. -
NXMXGXLDXX or DJ Mutual Respekt births polymorphous post black & posthumanist soundscapes for enthusiasts especially of avant garde “refixes” or interested in a plethora of dynamic vibes; through but not limited to club, rap, metal, and electronic. These manifestations, encompassed by a thought provoked navigation to our own iconoclastic counterculture engineered by focus of fashion, art, music, nightlife & entertainment, & black activist teachings.

This episode features COMBAT//MOMMY & Auntie Chanel!
Ambient music is tricky business. It's finding the right balance between being open-ended and giving your listener something to hold on to. Part of what makes COMBAT//MOMMY fka Ancient Mariner so compelling is her willingness to break the mold. Her debut LP, Forever::Hotel, ambitiously infuses wandering swaths of synths with distant high-hats and trap-like beats. It never loses the immersive, longing that draws listeners in to ambient music while utilizing rhythm as a not-so-secret ingredient. Forever::Hotel veers between short, episodic moments to lengthy jams like the meme-inspired "Protecc:Attac" that you wouldn't mind hearing going on forever.

Along with our new releases, we also wanted to bring back our PITSCAST series to start featuring DJ's again! Our first guest is Andrea Kalajian (@andreakalajian) with a fresh mix of classic house goodness ^_^ Andrea and her co-conspirator Adam Charles run a bi-weekly socially-distanced gathering called HEATER on Saturday nights at The High Dive, featuring a wide variety of fire selectors playing hot tracks. They've also been providing much needed relief to Detroiters with their open-air "Deep in the Cut" series taking place in the freight yard of the Dequindre Cut. Andrea has recently produced a couple singles titled "It's All In Your Mind" and "FRIENDS", both available for free download on SoundCloud. Check out this mix and tune in to what she's got going on!

Alex Wilcox (@alexwilcoxx)is another exciting newcomer to the Detroit underground with a lot of great talent to share! He was born in Dallas, moved to Austin, then to LA, spent time in Berlin, and now he’s based in Detroit. He’s worked on very wide array of musical projects, even doing vocal mixing for a member of @bangtan! With his move to Detroit, Alex has focused his vision more on DJing, powered by his eclectic and diverse range of electronic productions. He’s since established a reputation quickly spinning at TV Lounge, El Club, The Orange Room, and other popular Detroit hangouts. He’s excited to have completed production on his first album! He has also cooked up an EP with DJ Holographic (@djholographic) - Parallel Shifting - that is coming soon, as well as separate projects with TYLR_ (@tylrdetroit) and Stacey Hotwaxx (@hotwaxx). Expect an onslaught of original music over the next year as this serial producer emerges. Distilled in this mix is melodic and groove-based techno with pop-sensibility - one of Alex’s favorite styles to dance to. Enjoi PITSCAST.021 with Alex Wilcox! ~

It's twentieth edition of our podcast series, and we are excited to share a mix from minimalerror (@madeinathens) to accompany his release, also dropping on the label this week! Born in Athens and working in Bristol, he has certainly seen his fair share of dance culture. His Bristol EP is reflection of what the place has taught him, and this mix holds true to the vibe of those tracks. With premieres on Past & Future (@pastandfuturemusic) as well as Electronic Groove (@egroove), there has been a good amount of early support. Check out his other recent release on Pool House (@poolhousechi)!

Its a bit of a special edition for our podcast, because our history with the wonderfully, tantalizing force of TYLR_ (@tylrdetroit) begins over 5 years ago at the well known Temple Bar on Cass Ave. He and his partner Steven Reaume have consistently been a positive force in the city, creating the best parties and introducing us to the best new talents!
We have personally benefited from this, having great support from their organization of Norway Detroit (@norwaydetroit) when PITS was just an idea, and we had few connections. Flash forward to now, and he is poised to play his debut set at Movement Electronic Music Festival this weekend in Hart Plaza! His set runs from 2-3:30pm on Saturday, the first day of the fest ~
Check him out there and/or for his set at their intimate pre-party titled Anti-Social with Derek Plaslaiko (@plaslaiko) happening on Friday night at the hush hush ;) - Show more
