Bside Incoming: Detroit in Effect

Bside Incoming: Detroit in Effect Well, well, well… this episode is a special one… we’re very pleased to mark the century with a legend. It’s Detroit in Effect for our 100th Episode! D.I.E have been electro royalty since the 90s, thriving in a city moulded by music: from local radio stations and musical communities, to Motown, Gospel and Parliament’s Funk, through to the pioneering hip-hop infused electronic music of the modern era. There’s a lot you could say about Detroit in Effect, but, their tracks speak for themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHz8HTeSDg4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwqphSKXhRE So we’re flying you all out to Motor City to meet DJ Maaco from Detroit’s finest electro collective. We’re gonna take a little look into his record bag and pick out some of his all time favourite Bsides. While the first half reads like a Funky Hall of Fame, with Carl Carlton, Rick James and George Clinton, the second half tells us a little more about his D.I.E influences with electro legends like Cybotron, Egyptian Lover and Paul Hardcastle.
