Yes, "those who know" out in NYC are aware of PS1, but even if you don't, thanks to the 'net, you can find out about the spot that got rocked recently by Nomadico (aka DJ Dex)! The event was called "Warm Up" and that's what he did, making the hot NYC summer even hotter. Don't believe us? See for yourself at Naheedence! Hear his mix for yourself at the PS1 site! And hear in his own words how he became Nomadico in an interview with WPS1's Jeannie Hopper !
Ok folks, this goes into the "avoiding confusion" category! There's a group called Ground Zero in Holland who are promoting an upcoming event as "Underground Resistance"!
Now technically it's not saying there's a performance and they're not using our logo, it's just the name of the event, but...we know there's a chance that some UR fan is going to go thinking that we've got something to do with it...but we don't! Anyone interested in helping to spread the word or interested in communicating with Ground Zero directly, by all means...!!!
It's Bastille Day all over again as UR infects the populace of Detroit and beyond with the Bastille Day video! Inspired by several tracks from the Electronic Warfare 2.0 project, the video tells the story of...well, we're not telling, just see for yourself!
The Detroit Underground surfaces in NYC courtesy Underground Resistance and an array of sonic mercenaries on a monthly mission at APT. UR's producer/DJ/ambassador Nomadico (aka DJ Dex), who has worked with the likes of the UK's Intalex and NYC's own Nublu Orchestra, leads the way partnering up with others from the UR camp and beyond.
This Thursday is the kickoff and features James "Suburban Knight" Pennington. Techno, electro, funk, and more, conspire to free your ass so that your mind can follow.
It's that time of the year again! No, that OTHER time of the year! The time when Alter Ego Management (of whom Underground Resistance is our biggest client!) starts searching for interns! Tasks can and will range from booking, to artist relations, to the not so exciting, mundane things like typing, researching and cataloging. We will be interfacing with Submerge (of course!), Indiana University, radio stations, and more. It's an unpaid internship, but college credit CAN be arranged.
This is an internship for people interested in the BUSINESS of music, in particular, artist and project management and artist relations. We do not have any music production internships available. The internship is extremely flexible in that the responsibilities and hours can vary from person to person. For instance, if a candidate can write good copy, but cannot travel, then perhaps that person would do only that. The time frame is for four months for anyone looking to receive any sort of college credit as an independent study from January to April. Anyone simply looking for experience can discuss with us the parameters of what he or she is looking to accomplish with the internship and how long that may be.
Given the nature of the work, there is a tendency to assume this is casual, "fun" work, and it can be, but schedules and deadlines can be critical to the functioning of the label and there will be some very unglamorous, boring work that still needs to be done as well. There are going to be times when your own creativity and innovation will be critical to getting the job done. This is not a corporate job where you are in a box and expected to only perform a set group of tasks.
While some of the tasks can be tailored to your strengths, the real development comes from taking on challenges that you may be unfamiliar with so that you can grow. The position involves being exposed to a number of problems, the successful candidate will be a person who knows how to find solutions. Below is a list of things that may be asked of you. It is not all inclusive and it may include aspects that you will never experience in the course of the internship. Experience is NOT a prerequisite, only a strong desire to work and learn.
Making followup or cold calls to venues
Reviewing demos
Picking up and/or dropping off artists at the airport
Collection of artist fees for performances
Selling merchandise
Arranging for the design and manufacture of merchandise
Writing and/or distributing press releases and promotional materials
Acting as an artist assistant
Arranging interviews, photo shoots
Tour management
Licensing music to other labels
Arranging remixes for artists
Assisting in show production and/or booking
Researching venues, festivals, labels, travel and more
Responding to fan questions and comments
Conflict resolution
Reading articles, books, blogs, and more
Reviewing basic contracts for performance, sales, etc.
Given that the position may expose you to sensitive information regarding artists on this label and others, a confidentiality agreement is required. Any written documentation of the internship, including academic, is subject to review before dissemination.
Are there perks? Of course! You get access to free music and concerts, meet some of the biggest names in dance and electronic music and more. The internship may very well open up opportunities to work in other fields or in other countries. Or, in the course of the internship, you may be able to create your own paid post internship position with UR, Alter Ego, or another organization. Anything is possible.
For more information contact ALTER EGO MANAGEMENT. Please make certain to put "Internship" in the subject line.
That's right, the Fugitives recently got back from one of the most successful forays yet into the European night! From Spain, to the UK, to Ireland and Italy, we found brothers and sisters from several nations who came out and got their sonic punishment! It was rough, but what well earned victory isn't??
We would be wrong to not give a special shout to Dave at Soma and Martin and Jason at Rubadub who all conspired to make the days between shows something special. But they're not alone... Thanks to Marcos in Spain who managed to salvage what could have been an ugly incident! To Sam, Kirsty and Krysko in Manchester who made us feel at home in our sister city! To Jim Masters who made Brighton happen! To Club 69 just for being cool! To Eamonn and Buzz, our Irish brothers in arms! To Luigi and Mr. Derrick May who provided the perfect end to the tour. I'd also like to give a shout to Ranx down in London who continues to provide inspiration, even when he's insisting otherwise. And the man, the one who started this thing with Mike Banks...yes, I'm talking about Mr. Jeff Mills! This man is the definition of inspiration and it's an honor to forever count him as part of the family!
Finally we'd like to thank the most important ones in this equation, and that's all of you! Yes, you reading this, you buying the records and you over there who came out to these shows...and yes, I'm also talking about you, I know you didn't know who we were before you walked in, but ya see, NOW you know! You, all of you, make this kind of stuff possible. Know that we have a lot of respect and appreciation for what you give to us and it's an honor giving some of that power and energy back!

On Saturday, November 25, 2006 the Interstellar Fugitives plan a final assault on Detroit at the legendary club Alvin?s (5756 Cass St.), long a fixture in the underground music scene. While the Fugitives have made successful live forays into Japan and Europe, this will mark their first attack on US soil. A mixture of DJ prowess and live band musicality, originating in 1998, today they make an overt run at freeing the minds of local Detroiters. For those who don?t know, the Fugitives all managed to escape the corporate music scene by producing independent music for independent listeners. Over the years, fugitive agents and supporters have infiltrated many of those corporate giants and slipped rebel music into the playlists, but as radio becomes more and more at risk of death by homogeneity, and MTV and BET continue to assault the sensibilities of the people, the Fugitives find it necessary to inspire the city that has inspired them.
The lineup, while very familiar to fans who saw them on November 17, is also going to have a few surprise twists and turns to literally "keep you on your feet!"
You?ve been warned.

Our sole purpose is to shed light on electronic music from and associated with Detroit. We feel there have been many interviews done by these artists all over the world where the interviewer have asked questions that only touch the surface of what the artist has to offer and have to say. There is nothing more frustrating to an artist then being asked questions by people that don't know their work or know the right questions to ask to truly get down to the artists personality and real thoughts about their own art.
We plan to get at the very core of the artists and bring you a side of them that you would never otherwise hear on a conventional radio or TV interview. We plan to make this "The Definitive Show: For Those Who Know". This is something that we?ve needed for a very long time but as with our music as you know the technology has always had to catch up to the music. It is time to bring these artists the respect they have always deserved.
In order to make this happen we had track down people with a true love for the music and a real understanding of the task at hand. We could think of nobody that has more love and dedication to do the job right than "Magic" Mike Young and Natalie Chickee.
"Magic" Mike Young has earned a huge amount of respect locally for his former show "Stick It In Your Ear" which at the time it was running was the only true radio show in Detroit who's main focus was local electronic music.
Natalie Chickee comes from across the river in Windsor, Ontario and is currently doing a show at CJAM radio, which has a focus on all types of local music from Hip Hop to Techno.
Both of these hosts have a drive that few can match and a real love for the music.
Now the time has come for us to wage Electronic Warfare upon the media world and place our own stamp upon the history of this music and bring light upon the masses. Get ready.........
