Aphotic Segment thanks the many gents and ladies who made it out to last
month's funky rambunctious jams. And
despite the seasons, the fall seems to be unrelenting with all our searing nose
burgers. We also find ourselves riding
on the dorsal of reality's ever-changing moment. As such, it's important to us that we capture
some of the most intriguing spirits along the way and help to perpetuate their
sonic influence. The Mitchell Bros. are
precisely those spirits and they continue to serve as a conduit to music
language in Detroit, to this day!
In the very early '00s there were few DJ duos in Detroit that looked
backward as ferociously as the Mitchell Bros. They rejected the minimal techno
movement of the day and played dance-punk, ghetto-tech, disco and electro
records from the late '70s and early '80s. Not really brothers, they sometimes
bickered in public during their sets like blood relatives, and (rumor has it)
fought in private long after the party was over.
A dozen years later, the Mitchell Bros - Mikel "Detroit
Threads" Smith and Walter "Nospectacle" Wasacz - have settled
down: no, we don't expect them to brawl at the decks, but, yes, we do expect
them to bring some of the blistering tunes that inspired Smith's notoriously
graphic XXX PPP (as in triple X Punk, Pabst and Porn) nights at Hamtramck's
Belmont lounge. It's time to strip down to your dancing clothes - or more - and
get physical again. Come down and find somebody to love Oct. 5, as the Mitchell
Bros will be joining Aphotic Segment hosts Drew Pompa and Soren Kenny at Nancy
Whiskey, 2644 Harrison St. in Detroit's North Corktown. The heat drops at 10
p.m. and goes until 2 a.m. Always Free!
