It’s that time again. The time of year when old friends reconnect on the dance floor, when new friends find one another through shared rhythm, when Detroit welcomes the world to see what it’s really all about. And of course, Minx will be there to provide some beats. So show her and her city some…
DetailsIt’s been nearly three years since we lost Frankie Knuckles. The WOW family has listened to his last-ever recorded set a lot lately, but the lyrics of “I Wonder (Original)” by Soulmagic still get us every single time: “I wonder Will I still be here when you’re gone? Will the people still be spinning our song?”…
DetailsWhat a rough year for our community. We mourned the losses at Pulse Nightclub and the Oakland Ghost Ship warehouse. Those are our fellow dancers. We mourned the loss of David Bowie, Prince, and David Mancuso, among others. Those are the people who made us dance together. We also caught our collective breath when the…
DetailsLet’s talk about family. These past few weeks have been rough for the Women On Wax family as we all felt the loss that one of our own is experiencing. The departure of anyone, whether expected or not, is difficult, and this year has especially been hard. It seems we’ve all lost family members, friends,…
DetailsOver a month ago, Minx started up her weekly radio show again, this time through Deep Space Radio (if you don’t know yet, you should) as a featured artist. Every Tuesday, at 6 pm EST, she’s live in the chatroom and making you work out during your drive home, your dinnertime, your grocery shopping—whatever you’ve…
DetailsIt’s been more than two weeks. Most of us should be recovered by now, so let’s take a moment to reflect. Movement is always a time of music and dancing, but it’s also about friends, family, love, community, history, and above all, home and a sense of belonging. Expat Detroiters return to their roots,…
DetailsNext month, I’ll be heading to the west side (California, that is) to play alongside some of my favorites. The lineup is not only regional (San Francisco, Detroit, Chicago) but global (Berlin), and you know we’ll work it out! Honey Soundsystem always brings it (and then some), so make sure you buy your tickets early.…
DetailsA couple of weeks ago, Resident Advisor published an article entitled, “America’s Gay Techno Underground,” prominently featuring some of our favorite promoters/DJ collectives, including Honey Soundsystem (Minx will be playing alongside them, Steffi, and the Black Madonna on Saturday, April 16 in San Francisco) and Detroit’s own Macho City. These parties are a throwback to…
DetailsOn March 11th, Detroiters are coming together for Flint and its children. Some of Detroit’s finest are showing out for this event (including Minx, who is playing at midnight back to back w/Patrice Scott), with all of the proceeds for the event going to affect residents and the Flint Child Health and Development Fund.…
DetailsWe’re well into 2016, and the W.O.W. family is already moving forward on several projects and gigs. We’re always looking forward and excited for what’s coming up next. But listen, 2016 is also the year that we mark 15 years of bringing you music! The “Introduction EP” was released in 2001 with the description, “Detroit-based…
