Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup

That’s it—summer is done and dusted. Yeah, I know. Its unofficial demise is next week and it doesn’t officially die for another month.

But. It’s pretty much over.

Luckily, we have sweatshirt weather, college football and cider mill runs to look forward to. Until then, there are still some fabulous things to do in Detroit.

Claude Von Stroke doesn’t take himself too seriously. While helping to hone a post-minimal bass heavy sound with his San Francisco based Dirty Bird label, he found a way to effortlessly inject the fun of 90′s hip hop and booty into the notoriously serious techno genre. Now that his sound has taken the world by storm, few people are aware he got his start in Detroit as a Drum & Bass DJ.
