Let’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,…
DetailsThe latest release on Women On Wax Recordings introduces a well-known Detroit jazz artist to house music fans and listeners alike.

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.…

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,…
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…
DetailsTrue to form, Pirahnahead’s soulful production provides the perfect base for Diviniti’s vocals.
