A Weirdo’s Show was an immersive two-part celebration of Detroit's underground, new-generation techno scene, crafted to bring the city’s techno legacy to a new audience. J. Leslie and I co-hosted this unique event at Extra Crispy Studios in July, while the Show scheduled during Halloween was hosted by Don Dxego and myself at Stuffed Hub. We curated a lineup featuring four to six rising Ghetto techno high-energy DJ sets, all chosen to capture the eclectic spirit and edge of Detroit’s best-kept musical secret.
In preparation, we offered discounted pre-sale tickets to gauge attendance, allowing us to organize a well-coordinated experience with a bartender and local home baker selling drinks and sweet treats. The night was electric, with each artist delivering an unforgettable performance that had the audience fully engaged and energized. This event showcased the depth of Detroit's techno culture and reinforced Extra Crispy Studios as a central hub for creative expression, leaving attendees eager for the second show, Halloween 2023.
