DEMF 2008 was without a doubt, one of the music highlights of my life. Only a city such as Detroit can host an inexpensive, diverse festival where it really is about the music. There’s a certain sound to the motor city you don’t find anywhere else. You may have heard Kevin Saunderson spin in Berlin [...]

Tiga has been a busy bee. Because it’s Saturday and I have sports to watch, let’s do this with a list.
1. Follow-up to 2006’s Sexor, Ciao! is due out in the U.S. May 26th, featuring work with fellow hipsters Soulwax and James Murphy.

DEMF Day 4 – Departure

With the rising sun Monday morning, it was time to head back home, to work and a city with no love for techno. At 8:00, we packed the car in silence and drove out of the parking lot without looking back. We were mentally prepared for this long drive, unlike our previous departure in the [...]

Our hotel just outside Detroit came at the recommendation of a seasoned DEMF veteran, who promised the “best sleep of your life.” Considering the conditions festival attendees sleep under, I brushed off his remark as the result of sleep deprivation. Then I woke up Saturday morning trying to figure out how to bring the bed [...]
DEMF – Arrival

This past weekend I made the 14 hour journey Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival. It was my first multi-day music festival and nothing could have prepared me for what waited in Hart Plaza. I’m still flying high off the adrenaline, my soul drunk off the pulsating beats. Before I gush about the epic DJs, let me [...]
