I'm born and raised here in Metro Detroit. I went to school here, and I now reside and work in the area. We're all here for the MACUL conference, so it seems fitting to give this presentation in Detroit. You've hopefully had a chance to see the city a little while here.

The underground warehouse rave parties where this music was first introduced to the public happened initially here in Detroit.
