MP3 Monday: DJ Bone
Detroit body rockers this Saturday - By Morgan, Dec 01, 08
We're straying quite a bit from the usual roundup of Chinese rock to serve up some immanent techno today. Just for a change. We did the jazz music
once so why not the techno?
DJ Bone from Detroit will be performing at
The Shelter this Saturday as part of their one-year anniversary shaker, so here are some MP3s of his so you can get all prepped for it.

DJ Bone is associated with the various permutations of classic Detroit techno, and has, over the years, held a number of residencies in clubs around that city. He still sites the originators of the genre as his key influences and is of the ardently independent mindset. He describes himself as "an uncompromising, hype hating, 100% independent, real Detroit native-come-auditory striker and soul controller that cannot be bought".
In all his press shit, DJ Bone makes a point of separating himself from "producers" by specifying that he is a proper vinyl DJ that utilizes three turntables in his live performances, so expect a purist set from a DJ that eschews "Hollywood production, special effects, video images, and smoke."
DJ Bone performs curtesy of VOID, a group of locally-based techno DJs/promoters. With this show, VOID continue their streak of hosting classically-minded Detroit techno DJs that link the origins of the genre in the 80's with the latest sounds coming out of the metropolis today.
