ithqdetroitIT.podcast.s14e01: Erika opening Samhain XXIV“I really love to do the opening set. It's a special responsibility to take an empty room and build the vibe, to prepare the audience for the night to come, to leave them wanting more. For this edition of Samhain, I began beatless and worked through organic creepers into techno slow jams, setting up BMG to shepherd us into the psychedelic techno assault to be wrought by Wata Igarashi.” — Erika @erikadotnet

ithqdetroitIT.podcast.s13e04: BMG at No Way Back 2024There’s nothing like playing No Way Back. It’s such a unique environment. All the DJs look forward to their set all year, but then low key freak out before they play. Will they live up to expectations? Will they surpass their previous sets? You ask yourself, is this what feels like to throw lightning? You can sense the room expand and contract. Connecting to the audience and taking them on our journey is what it is all about. For this adventure I played on 4x CDJ-3000’s, a Pioneer V10 using 2 internal delays and a Strymon El Capistan pedal...

ithqdetroitIT.podcast.s13e03: Derek Plaslaiko at No Way Back 2024No Way Back, let me set the scene. It’s 6AM and 66 degrees. The dance floor is packed, it's sweaty inside, and it’s about to storm outside again. Derek Plaslaiko is taking over the decks from BMG, getting ready to take the crowd on a journey through his mind — the mind of a rock & roller that’s itching to take the party to the next level. It’s No Way Back on May 26, 2024, Day 2 of Return to the Source at Tangent, in Detroit. Witness the pure insanity as Derek indulges the crowd with a no holds barred onslaught of pure party...

ithqdetroitIT.podcast.s13e02: AZA at Midwest FreaksHere is a recording from the up and coming AZA recorded at Midwest Freaks last December in Madison, where IT, Intellephunk and Remain in Night united for a secret warehouse party. How can you explain being lost in the Midwest and spending all night with non stop rave alchemy in a secret warehouse? This type of thing really fills you with hope for the future.
AZA is techno as a living being. She was born in SF to parents who had immigrated from Trinidad and Tobago of the West Indies. She grew up within music, from the music of the...

ithqdetroitLove Letters - Falling Star EP [IT 54]Swirling acid madness from the ever brilliant mind of Ridgewood, Queens’ Maxime Robillard, Love Letters’ “Falling Star EP” — the latest record on Interdimensional Transmissions — crawls inside your brain and takes many shapes as it brings you to ecstatic experiences on the dance floor. The vinyl is presented with 4 new songs, the A side containing the brain melter “Falling Star” that just builds and builds until reaching a rapturous release, and the frenetic “Tore”. The B side contains remixes of 2 originals — the first by No Way Back resident Mike Servito exploring his Detroit electro bass roots (and the first record in the IT catalog) for “L...

ithqdetroitIT.podcast.s13e01: Erika at Midwest Freaks, Dec 9 2023“This is a special one. On December 9, 2023 in a secret warehouse in Madison, Wisconsin, Interdimensional Transmissions teamed up with two titans of the Midwest, Remain in Night and Intellephunk, for 12 hour party called, appropriately, Midwest Freaks. Together, we curated the environment and the music, in the Cleanest Warehouse Of All Time (!!). I played after Aza and directly before @_bbmmgg_, it was like a special family reunion. I felt so comfortable playing there, so I wanted to share this set with everyone. Pictured here in front of Amber Gillen’s ‘Holy Parachute’, photo by BMG. ParachuteCon 23!”

Here her ambient album closer “Wandering Mountain” transforms into two faces of techno, first the monolithic hypnotic slab of sound from Mike Parker then to a powerful peak time melodic banger from Wata Igarashi. The other side features a totally different take on her influences, with Eris Drew delivering her “Body Rock Remix” fusing a number of styles to push the highlight of Erika’s album to new heights, and Whodat discovering a deeper side to “Tomorrow’s Fires”.

It felt like the time for the party to take a deep breath and refill its lungs. Playing directly after Patrick Russell and right before Erika, I took the moment to give the party what I felt it needed. First, rays of light, and then expansions and contractions in the sound.
For the technique, I played on a Model One mixer with a Moog MF Delay pedal and 4 CDJs. Much of the music is upc...

This is pure high end psychedelia, perfectly executing their concept of mesmerizing throbbing, burning and jacking jams with such grace, conscious intention, deep skill and passion. The styles and eras that they fuse is just so exciting, there’s nothing else quite like this — dripping with vibe. Heavy and heady.

IT PodcastIT.podcast.s09e03: BMG at No Way Back Streaming From Beyond 2020BMG on NWB:
"Even without the possibility of getting physically together, they couldn't stop No Way Back. No Way Back is a state of mind, a yearly ritual that takes us back to the source, and the DJs reconvene with that source and allow it to take different shapes in their hands, from their minds to yours.

IT PodcastIT.podcast.s10e01: Christina Chatfield at No Way Back Streaming From Beyond 2020"This No Way Back stream was the first time I’ve performed a set from my home studio.
