Later they would collaborate with another artist I have released, G D Luxxe and friends Kill Memory Crash. Who are these weird east coast Italians? I honestly have no idea, except that they are perfectionists, as I later learned by releasing their 7th version of their remix of Perspects. Inspired by the greats of electro clash, they have gone on to create their own nitch by melding industrial, EBM, and the modern dark club music of the likes of Miss Kitten & The Hacker to form their own unique hybrid that will last longer than any term involving "electro". They have all the drama and surreal details you would expect from Italian cinema, with the fierceness of Claudio Simonetti and the over the top audacity of Tinto Brass or Fellini, delivered with more style than a Countach. When I was 16, living in the 1980's suburbs, I needed to escape. I got a fake ID, went to Noir Leather, got some clothes, paid the extra $2 fake ID surcharge at City Club and danced all night to Nitzer Ebb, Skinny Puppy and "How Soon is Now?" just a few years after Derrick May had a residency there. Siouxsie and Robert Smith were the look then, people would dance like they were witches doing tai chi with absolutely no irony. Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, Front 242, Einsterstende Neubauten, Propaganda magazine, Wax Trax. Then techno happened. At least to me. I left behind almost all personality based music, in the early days of the revolution there were no press photos for artists like Underground Resistance or Basic Channel, image was the stamp on your record label. No vocals were allowed for the majority of the 90s. The sound changed, got deeper, became about these great sound systems and getting lost in the sound in the middle of the night, a great heir to the best ideas of My Bloody Valentine. This is a party celebrating some of our darkest inspirations, from Industrial Goth Culture to the sensuality of latex and leather. Fetish is a driving force. You know where we've started, but every person on this bill has travelled and played their own futuristic version of this music around the nation, around the globe. Come enjoy this immersion into sound with the inspiring visuals of a live latex fashion show courtesy of Noir at midnight and their live fetish performances during our Italian guests headlining spot afterwards, as well as the venue as re imagined by Infinite Dimensions, and music inspiring you to move from Dethlab and I.T. (Interdimensional Transmissions)"

We're pleased to announce that Sean Whaley a.k.a. GLÜHUFR (who we do "Dark Ass Bats" with first Wednesdays on the Magic Stick roof deck) will be joining us this Friday.

Hot off a European stadium tour with Depeche Mode, MOTOR returns to the US for a headlining club tour. Dethlab is pleased to bring Mr. Black and Mr. No back to Detroit - this time around at The Works, with extra sound provided by Source Audio. MOTOR's new album Metal Machine and monstrous industrial-strength acid workout Death Rave are out on Steve Aoki's Dim Mak label in the US and T. Raumschmiere & Apparat's Shitkatapult label in Europe. As the title suggests, Motor’s new album ‘Metal Machine’ is abrasive metallic music, combining tough techno beats and raw rock riffs, underscored by ‘relentless mechanical grooves that spit blood’ All ten new album tracks retain Motor’s trademark industrial/ rock elements previously showcased on albums 'Klunk' and 'Unhuman', though this time round the emphasis is firmly on the dance-floor. “We wanted it to carry on the spirit of those first two records, but at the same time we had to break new ground and we knew after producing just a few rough demos that the new record was going to be seriously raw and off the wall,” says the band, “We wanted to get back into the clubs with a fresh sound.” Dethlab has steadfastly been promoting and providing hard, dark electro bangers and "Satan Techno" since 2005. Dethlab has toured with Solvent and Lowfish, DJ'd at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and recently opened for The Prodigy at the official Movement '09 kick-off party. Dethlab has brought the likes of Vitalic, Motor and Fixmer/McCarthy to Detroit for the first time and co-produced 2008's No Way Back/Too Far Gone loft party with dear friends and frequent partners Interdimensional Transmissions. Dethlab sets often include comedic theatrics (such as fake blood loaded penis-shaped squirt guns at Theatre Bizarre,) and innovative media (such as the custom reactive/interactive video projected on weather balloons at the Prodigy show.)

The venue is is a real bar with a great selection or real booze. They do have coffee too, but the name is kinda misleading. See everyone Thursday!

Thanks Marc! Here are a couple video clips: Fixmer/McCarthy - Join In the Chant - live in London, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfddZLdSpyU Fixmer/McCarthy - You Want It - from the documentary Between the Devil and the Wide Blue Sea, 2005

[Aside from Xris, Dethany and I not being in them] great photos! Thanks. The multi-floor afterparty was classic debauchery. Gold star for whoever convinced mgmt. to re-open the pool area at 5AM.

The Skin Two Ball Saturday at Crowfoot was excellent. Great venue, great crowd and top quality production all around. + Big thanks to the Exotica team for bringing our good friend Xris in from NYC to DJ!
