Music + Art + Culture from the Disruptor ecosystem.

My passion for Dance Music began when I received the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack for Christmas in 1977. From that moment, I've been searching for that sound. Recording tracks onto tape cassettes off the radio. I learned to roller skate so I could go listen to the music. In high school I was into punk and noise, the Butthole Surfers early work is a huge influence on me still today. Psychedelics seems to enhance the experience, I was getting LSD from Dead tour. There were some memorable post punk experiences - Love & Rockets at The Fox Theater in Detroit on acid. The Cure on acid. The Butthole Surfers on acid. You feel me? On my way to see New Order at Pine Knob the summer of 1989 - the show was cancelled but we heard about the after party that was going on early instead - the DJs from the Hacienda in Manchester, England and they were playing ACID HOUSE and I've been chasing that sound ever since!!!

Rave is Resistance. The interlocking architecture of dance music culture comes from a place of resistance to oppression. This is not up for debate. It’s a fact. The music, the fashion, the visuals, the drugs, the spaces, the people — all of it is a response to systemic oppression and a refusal to accept the status quo. It’s a way to create freedom and connection in a world that often feels designed to prevent both. To be part of this culture is to be part of that resistance. It’s not just about the music or the parties — it’s about building something better together.
