Detroit, The House of Techno XVII with Omar-S, ATAXIA, Dru Ruiz

When: Fri., May 17, 9 p.m. 2019

Techno Christmas is upon us, y’all. What better way to prepare for the incredible three-day electronic music festival than a techno bill led by Detroit’s own Omar-S. A product of the ’70s — an influence that is alive in his mixes through his analog-sounding approach — the low-key Omar-S first made waves in 2003 before becoming an international cult house favorite This year, the producer released 1992, a follow-up 12-inch to the four EPs he released last year. Detroit acid-house duo ATAXIA (Ted Krisko and Ricker) join the lineup along with rave staple Dru Ruiz, who notably closed out the first DEMF in 2000, and TV Lounge resident Loren.
