Back when radio ruled and the boombox gave us mixtapes, live broadcasts were the very essence of the Detroit club music scene. Technology was turning cassettes into CDs and Rebecca’s frequent trips to Harmony House fueled her music collection. She poured over the cherished tunes that were spun on Saturday nights at the State Theatre’s legendary “Club X”. Inspired by Stacey “Hotwaxx” Hale, the Godmother of House Music, who was reigning over the airwaves, it was only a matter of time before Rebecca would satiate her musical appetite as a disc jockey.

Rebecca is now a seasoned radio DJ, having mixed on WDET 101.9’s Sunday Sessions show, 89.3 WHFR out of Dearborn, as well as various internet radio stations hosted in Detroit and worldwide. She is a resident DJ of Nevermore Tuesdays at the Grasshopper Underground, Monday Night Lights at Northern Lights Lounge and a regular player in the house music party scene.

After 5 years of DJing, Rebecca took a more serious pursuit in expressing herself with sound by learning tools and techniques of electronic Music Production. In January 2016, Rebecca independently released her first EP, A Trip to the Moon. The 5-track suite is a collection inspired by and intended to serve as a score to Georges Méliès’ 1902 silent film, Le Voyage Dans La Lune.

Detroit-based producer/DJ Marshall Applewhite has set himself off on a journey of sonic terror reaching out to the late night, early morning, ears of exotic dance music fans around the globe. His sound, albeit jarring at times, encompasses the gritty nature of the city he was brought up in. Co-heading the sludge movement with The Friend, Applewhite has brought new life into the techno world. Slow, acrid, low-frequency soundscapes are all a part of what makes Applewhite unique in an overpopulated world of generic music. With a slew of releases out on Detroit Underground, How To Kill, Clan Destine, Senseless Neon and his own YoSucka! Music, Marshall is showing no sign of slowing down.
