If Detroit's hedonistic young gods could pose any real questions about the state of their beloved underground, what would they be? Does dance music keep any dignity when it's been built-to-order, spit-shined and pumped to within an inch of its life, only to be thrown away? Can it flex some real musical muscle? Such concerns loom large for local DJ's Mike Trombley and Scott Zacharias with their disco monthly MACHO CITY at Detroit's leather haven, The R&R Saloon.
As party throwers and vinyl purveyors living in a jaded hypermedia age, Mike and Scott have long built an arsenal of (un)classics gleaned from dusty bins and dingy basements, creating sets that move asses, loins and ears in true rearguard anti-fashion. Strengthening their city's own underground legacy against its current nu-rave/blog-house blandishments, the two have built a cadre of support for overlooked and forgotten dance music, fusing Detroit's own well-hung disco endowment with Italo odysseys and Cosmic slow-burners.
This month Macho City teams up with the boys of Disco/Secret. Mike Kearns and Tommy Ferrera have been holding down Sunday nights at the Detroit Eagle for five years. Voted best weekly dance party by Metro Times in the annual "Best of Detroit" issue for three years running, the DJ's of Disco/Secret know how to pack a dance floor. Their sets range from underground Disco and Italo to classic Boogie and jackin' House. D/S keep club-goers intrigued but not alienated and are sure to keep the Macho City crowd moving all night long. Don't miss this one!
