Artist: Detroit

Black Milk & Danny Brown - Black and Brown EP The collaboration of Detroit Rappers, Danny Brown and Black Milk was epic. Ever since it's release in Nov 1, 2011 I've felt that the duo just didn't receive the attention they deserved. Here's the music. Judge for yourselves. <a href=" http://blackmilk.bandcamp.com/ album/black-and-brown" data-mce-href=" http://blackmilk.bandcamp.com/ album/black-and-brown">Black and Brown by Black Milk and Danny Brown</a> Photo Credit: Mark Weaver

A new track from one of Detroit's dirtiest, nastiest, and rawest rappers, Danny Brown. Curated by Scion A/V , this track takes a break from what Danny usually delivers in his songs-you know, comparisons of genitalia with food (i.e. Jamba Juice, Cool Ranch Doritos), and depressing downward spirals into drug addiction. Instead, "Grown Up" gets a little nostalgic, and looks back on Danny Brown's childhood, and puts poetry to Cap'n Crunch dinners and angry teachers. The beat is pretty great as well. An icy synth gets backed up with come DJ cuts of Danny's voice. It's fresh [...]

Für alle Tatort-Verächter: Eine Doku für den Sonntagabend – in "Universal Techno" geht es um Detroit als Geburtsstätte der modernen elektronischen Musik. Techno, oder elektronische Musik allgemein, ist mittlerweile fester Bestandteil unserer Populärkultur geworden. Ob man jetzt David Guetta hört oder den heissen Scheiss vom Nachwuchsproduzenten aus der eigenen Stadt, Techno, House und Artverwandtes hat seine Wurzeln allerhöchstwahrscheinlich in Detroit. Die nordamerikanische Industrie-Stadt, die seit einigen Jahrzehnten einen beispiellosen ökonomischen Niedergang erlebt, gilt auch heute noch den Freunden moderner elektronischer Tanzmusik als Brennpunkt der Szene. Allen voran klingen natürlich die [...]

Such a dope, breezy new track from Detroit's Danny Brown . Reminiscent of a throwback radio-edit we would have dubbed off 100.3 JAMZ onto some worn out tape back in like '92. mp3: Danny Brown :: Grown Up

• Danny Brown - Grown Up

Scion/AV has enlisted the genius that is Danny Brown for "Grown Up". The track is all about Danny's childhood, with some throwback production, the track feels like something that came out of the heyday of Naughty By Nature. Listen below for some more proof why the 2012 XXL Freshman is here to stay. Download Danny Brown: "Grown Up" via Scion/AV

If you've been reading Thrash Hits for any length of time now, you'll know we've got a lot of time for The Armed . In case you're new to these parts, The Armed are DIY-as-fuck, Detroit-based, DEP-associated badasses, who put out all of their releases for free download. Well, DIY is all good, and giving away ALL your music for free is even better, but it doesn't exactly pay the bills when it comes to recording new material. Which is why The Armed need your help.

Detroit native Black Milk has been an active producer/rapper since 2002 as a member of hip-hop collective Slum Village. Production-wise, Black's modus operandi can be described as Dilla-esque, but he doesn't really imitate the late legend as much as utilize Dilla's crate-digging approach to composition as a vantage point, which then gives Black an opportunity to delve into his own eclectic array of inspirations. And eclectic they are: Black's looming, ominous string section on "Black and Brown", a cut from his latest solo LP "Album of the Year," is just one example of his [...]

Het Amsterdamse festival Sonic Acts verwelkomde de afgelopen editie een levende legende: Juan Atkins. De man die techno uitvond stond op het podium van Paradiso als Model 500 met een heuse band achter zich. Eclectro sprak met hem over die band, zijn inspiraties, albums en het gebruik van nieuwe technologie. "Ik blijf mijn geluid verder uitbreiden en Model 500 is daar is het vehikel voor." Hoe kwam uw plan tot stand om met een live-band te gaan touren? "'Underground Resistance' Mad Mike was de drijvende kracht achter het vormen van de [...]

mac blackout band Three reasons to hike up your skinny jeans and strut over to the Empty Bottle tonight... 1. Mickey frontman Mac Blackout storms the Empty Bottle with his solo project Mac Blackout Band tonight. If you haven't have a chance to check out his latest album America Stole My Baby , you have really dropped the ball. Blackout pumps up the scuzz punk intensity to craft songs that are tough-as-nails but also tender enough to include some sweet, sweet melody. [...]

Peep Danny Brown's attempt at a hit single. If you haven't heard the album, XXX , I highly recommend. Been on repeat for weeks. Most Bruiser Brigade shit I've heard recently is good too. Dopehead's Plaid Palm Trees has gotten its share of spins. But yo, this baked potato is taking forever in the microwave.

Artist Evan Roth has been living and working in Detroit for the last month, for a solo exhibition titled " Welcome to Detroit ". His new series of artworks is called: Propulsion Paintings . They are simple, evocative, and yes, baffling. It's equal parts "cool" and "what's the point?" [via snarkmarket ]

Accept no imitations: the originator of techno is in the hot seat. Cybotron, Model 500, Metroplex, The Belleville Three – all words synonymous with the birth and development of techno music, and all phenomena synonymous with Juan Atkins, widely considered the techno originator and possessor of the most influential electronic music discography since Kraftwerk. Detroit's famous for its long lineage of musical legends, and Atkins is one of the city's all-time greatest. http://www.factmag.com/2012/03 /05/fact-mix-319-juan-atkins/ deepgoa.blogspot.com your urban music guide [...]

Besides having a hilarious bio, in which one of them is said to have been, "a former Hip-Hop DJ who recently discovered his love for gay rock music and ethno-influenced 80s synthesizer pop," the Swiss duo Mercury have recently decided to release an EP that includes remixes of their tracks Candlelight and Running Back To You . Already having garnered the support from producers such as Soul Clap, Tom Trago, Brodinski, and Dimitri From Paris, Mercury seem poised to grab the attention of the rest of the electronic-dance community with this jam-packed collection of floor-stomping [...]

Hir-O is on the beat, a dope dope melodic flip (of what I assume is part of the Inception soundtrack) and then Red Pill comes in spitting Fire and Flames, this is just hella dope, and then there's the ultra sharp visuals that create a feeling of dystopia and exile, just what this track is kinda about, I mean, this is one of the favourite things I've posted on here for sure.
