- Detroit Fight Club Press Release: If someone talks about music, then Detroit has and will always be considered as the "Innovator" for the entire music industry. If someone talks about house/techno music club/dance scene, then Detroit has and will always be considered as the "Elevator" for the entire club scene. If someone talks about an "Originator", then Detroit artists, DJ's and producers ALL deserve the credit because every time you HEAR a "weird noise or sound or bleep or echo" in whatever form of music..trance, hip-hop, d-n-b, house, reggae, soca, new age, ghetto tech or minimal, it is techno. And, it came from Detroit. My city. Our city. Our sound.
Since we were all a part of the music revolution, DETROIT FIGHT CLUB firmly believes that the soldiers that HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN must be respected and remembered. And more importantly, the artform of DJing that set Detroit DJ's apart from the rest of the world HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN as well.
DETROIT FIGHT CLUB cannot and will not forget the "Originators" that brought us from watching "The New Dance Show" or "The Scene" after school to the present and what is now the D.E.M.F./Movement. And, the soul of the closed clubs of Detroit's past like The Dancery, Music Institute, Latin Quarter, Wildlife Society Hall, the Aruba, Heaven, Taboo, the Warehouse (1st appearance and performance of Mc Lyte and Audio Two)and UBQ's still sing their own quiet songs of joy in a city that did not support the house/techno/rap music scene of the 80's.
DETROIT FIGHT CLUB cannot and will not forget the fact that the "D.E.M.F./Movement" truly began with the MIDNIGHT FUNK ASSOCIATION hosted and conceived by the Electrifying Mojo. Every single night on the radio-Sunday through Saturday, the Mothership radio transmissions opened the minds of everyone to the different genres of music and allowed us to see into the "past, present and future of music, our culture and the world."
DETROIT FIGHT CLUB cannot and will not forget the DJ's who treasured, shaped and developed our Detroit Music Scene like Ric Wilhite, Will Guest, the 7 D.W.A.R.F.S., Tink Thomas, Duane in the mix Bradley, Ken Collier, The Mystro, Ray Berry, Chis Price, Jesse the Body, Steve Haynes, DJ Zapp, Gary Chandler, The Rotator, DJ Dangerous, DJ Energy, DJ 1315, Andre Johnson, Lynn Swann and ALL OF THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE MIX-A-DOME CONCEIVED AND STARTED BY the ELECTRIFYING MOJO!!!! Every Detroit DJ tuned in not only to listen but to support each other!!!
DETROIT FIGHT CLUB is here to reclaim the vanishing art of DJing, to show the entire world the art of modern mixing, to keep alive the art of Detroit style mixing and to bring together everyone that loves music whether it is house, techno or hip-hop music.
DETROIT FIGHT CLUB-The truth must be told |
