Concept 04: Party Preview
In the past several years, a certain cadre of hardworking American DJs with deep, encyclopedic knowledge of underground dance music is beginning to get some very well-deserved global shine. Known loosely as
Interdimensional Transmissions and rooted in Detroit, their names should be familiar to anyone who has traveled the underground party circuit: BMG, Erika, Derek Plaslaiko, Patrick Russell, Mike Servito, and
Carlos Souffront, among others. They have their specialties, but it's their passion — and wide-ranging knowledge of music of all kinds — that unites them as DJs. Souffront, in particular, is known for his collection of acid techno and acid house, which he tends to string together both haphazardly and flawlessly, somehow. But Concept is not your usual dance party — instead the night allows DJs to flex their muscles, pick a theme (dancefloor-oriented or not), and run with it. Expect Souffront to get very weird and go far out. Let him take you there.
