"Always do what your peers cannot do, and will not do."

Who: Mike Huckaby, aka "Deep House King of Detroit, Serbia, Russia, Petrozavodsk, Budapest, and on and on ..."

From: "Detroit, fool. Where else?"

Sound: "Detroit deep house and techno."

Set: Huck's purism can seem as anachronistic as it is classic, but amid this year's retro-techno vibe, his promised set of "strictly vinyl, underground house, underground techno" is a perfect way to end (or start) Saturday.

When: Saturday, 9:30-11 p.m., Made in Detroit Stage

"Smile when you're dancing, it could always be worse."

Who: Wolf + Lamb, aka Gadi Mizrahi and Zev Eisenberg

From: New York City

Sound: Wolf + Lamb, ("a music community," as Mizrahi and Eisenberg call it) purposely blur lines between labels and artists, DJs and dancers, promoters and patrons, in the process creating a deep house resurgence that has embraced the likes of Nicolas Jaar, Soul Clap, Deniz Kurtel, Voices of Black, Slow Hand — and even extends to reinventing the afterparty concept with their "Marcy Hotel" project in Brooklyn. If you can make dance music less scenestery there, you can make it less scenestery anywhere.

Set: "A downpour of new tracks from our family, from our upcoming album and some sexy stuff in between to hold it all together," Mizrahi says. "A set as moody as a Gemini on Mercury rising.

When: Sun, 5:30 -7 p.m., Red Bull Music Academy Stage

"Just bring your dancing shoes and smile."

Who: DJ Psycho

From: Fenton, just like DJ Casey Kasem

Sound: As a member of Detroit Techno Militia and Irrational Muzikwerx, Psycho marches to the beat of that jackbooted techno drummer with a nod to the showmanship of a DMC battle DJ, combining, thrillingly, the relentless techno-mindedness of Claude Young with the scratch trickery of hip-hop's DJ P. In short, Jeff Mills playing his eponymous minimal techno through his Wizard persona.

Set: DJ Psycho might take one of his shoes off and scratch with it, mixing hard techno into ghetto tech into children's records into funk and soul oldies — using three turntables no less! 

When: Monday, 3:30-5 p.m. Made in Detroit stage
