The Detroit Techno House

Saturday night I needed to get out and work off some of the artery hardening, home cooked deliciousness of the holidays, so we made it down to Oslo to get our day-after-Christmas on. I was looking forward to hearing K-Hand spin, it’s been a long minute since I saw her last. When we got there the DJ(did not catch his name) was spinning some nice deep house, and a good crowd was forming. Jesse James was on the decks next, and his set didn’t start off too well, I think his Traktor was fucking up, but needless to say it sounded horrible for about 10 minutes. He finally got it together, and spun a pretty dope ass techno set set for the next hour or so, busting out some slammin’ old school tracks. K-Hand went on around 1 and tore that shit up. She started off strong, and spun some glitched out, acidy techno madness. The video below doesn’t do her justice, but gives you the jist of it.
Sunday Night we headed down to the Cass Cafe for Hail Santa. Great crowd for a Sunday night, and the DJ’s were spinning some awesome house music coupled with some live computer fuckery. Best of all, PBR on draft! The whole party had a great vibe, good sound, and a venue that doesn’t get used enough for electronic music, hats off to the promoters.
