Monica Blaire at the DIA - January 8th - Free

noreply@blogger.com (EM-C) — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 15:32:00 +0000

from press release
"As a part of their continuing venue for great artists, celebrate the New Year at Friday Night Live! With The Monica Blaire Experiment!

"There is no more prestigious venue for performance in Detroit than the DIA; come start the New Year off right with Monica Blaire’s avante-garde sound experiment at DIA!

"Detroit, Michigan - Dynamic singer, Monica Blaire and the Detroit Institute of Art are collaborating for an evening in celebration of the art of sound. The two will merge for the second installment of Blaire’s avante-garde project: The Monica Blaire Experiment Bridging the Gap: Adventures in Sound Vol. 2.
"The DIA, an important cultural landmark in the city of Detroit, will be hosting the free event on January 8, 2010, at 7:00 PM featuring the progressive songstress, Monica Blaire. Her stage presence has always been unique and distinguished for its performance art leanings. This event, however, demarcates her conscious acknowledgement of the audience as participants and a galvanizing influence on her music. The Sound Experiment endeavors to bridge the gap between age demographics by creating a fun and highly interactive experience between Monica Blaire and her patrons.

"This show is innovative and refreshing. It boldly explores the sophisticated notion of the energizing effect an audience can have on an artist’s work and it is appropriate for all ages. Monica Blaire is interested in creating a symbiotic artistic atmosphere that softens the rigid line between performer and viewer. “When we blur the line true art is created,” says Blaire, effectively summarizing the mission of her work.

Special Guest Stars: Jon Bibbs, Marvwon, RoSpit, and the legendary Songstress…Ortheia Barnes!!!
Date: Friday, January 8, 2010
Time: 7pm & 8:30 pm performances
Venue: The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA)
Admission: FREE !!!

The MonicaBlaire was recently described as:

“From Mozart to Mainstream, eclectic is the way to describe Blaire. Hip-Hop being the foundation that MonicaBlaire stands on creates and environment where classical, rock, soul, gospel, and funk playfully co-exist. Her sound is of early soul music, and inspired by an unconventional sense of rhythm and melodies, MonicaBlaire is more than an artist . . . she is an experience.” "

Ro Spit & Monica Blaire - Renaissance State of Mind

noreply@blogger.com (EM-C) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:56:00 +0000

Check out the new video from Ro Spit (also known as DJ Phrikshun of Subterraneous, aka Octane) and Detroit's Queen of Hip Hop, Monica Blaire. They've re-made the hit single "Empire State of Mind" from Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 to fit the frame of the fine Motor City.

...Speaking of re-makes, Ro Spit aka Roland Coit's accolades go beyond just music. He was recently part of an ad contest held by Fortune Magazine designed to find an entrepeneur from the Detroit area that would help 're-brand' the City of Detroit, essentially sharing reasons why Detroit is an attractive urban destination for other entrepeneurs. His ad was all about making your own imprint on Detroit, a city that he refers to as a blank canvas. It's what's clever: Detroit truly is a mecca for innovative creativity, a perfect spot to try new things and stretch people's capacity for new and unordinary music, technology and ideas. Yeah he's from the 'Yac (Pontiac)... but it's Detroit that he represents, and he's doing a fine job of getting the national kind of attention that the city deserves, musically and otherwise.

Factoid: DBIT (Warp, Live Wire Records) of Rochester Hills recreated the entire beat from scratch for Ro & Monica's version. Original production credits go to Jay-Z & Co. but if it sounds familiar, it's because samples in the song are from "Love on a Two-Way Street" by The Moments and "The Breakthrough" by Isaac Hayes.

Download new The Ro-Spit Project here, and enjoy production/features from other locals such as 14KT, Big Tone, DL Jones, Marv Won and iLLite to name a few.

Big thanks to Cristina Naccaratto of Broken City Lab for snapping these fine shots.
The last (above) one is of the video provided by Citynoise, also part of BCL. She also brought footage of the construction of the Windsor/Detroit Tunnel in the 1930s.

Later on the screen at the back was used for some interactive visual graf, as provided by Furs, and inspired by the fine folks at Graffiti Research Lab. :D

December 4th at Division Street Boutique & Gallery

noreply@blogger.com (EM-C) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:33:00 +0000

Join friends K-Fresh, Malik Alston, Jason Hogans and DJ Guy LaFleur Friday December 4th for a nice of great music by great people.

Here's a little bit about each artist:
K-Fresh: Detroit DJ (he spins everything from electro to hip hop to blues and jazz), music journalist and founder of RenaissanceSoul.com, the true original website dedicated to the life and work of James Yancey aka J Dilla. He knows all the secrets.

Jason Hogans/Medium Parnell/:brownstudy: The founder of Really Nice Recordings, your friend, an advocate for positive and healthy, the best emcee you need to hear if you haven't already. He makes his own beats, too, and works with the finest folks in town, as he has recently released tracks on the great new label Exchange Bureau Music, as well as Planet E (less recently).

DJ Guy LaFleur: No, not the hockey player, yet he's still sort of a mystery to me. Expect greatness in the form of House music. I think.

Malik Alston: From the Detroit live band Painted Pictures, as well as his own Truth Manifest, London's Third Ear and Ubiquity Records. From what I've heard of his stuff, Malik brings quality, deep house beats :)

See ya there!

100 Ways To Save The City Projection

noreply@blogger.com (EM-C) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 00:07:00 +0000

Just click the title of this post and know that it's easy to make things happen. You just have to cooperate, and show up!!!!!

Minced Meat Radio (that's really me, Emily Copeland, fellow lover of all things Detroit and resident of the crumbling Windsoria) with FAM FEST (the festival I work on with my partner in party Murad) and Broken City Lab (a cool crew of 20-something creative folk who make it their business to make things and make things happen) all got together on this one to brighten the night with positive messages.

It didn't cost anything (use what you already have! ask people for donations and help!) and it impacted people in a stimulating way. It was gratifying for the community -- not just one person -- which is how we can encourage people to try harder to get along in a place that is too quick to divide.

Enough poetry. Click the link and enjoy the pictured messages.

Free Applause

Hey y'all,
I know it's been a minute but I wanted to quickly post this up for you!

Friends from Toronto Leo37 and Sunclef alongside PPF House have put their album Applause up for free download! It's some of the best hip hop & jazz, with prime cuts and live sampling I have heard out of TO in a while. Next to Magnolius, that is!

Download it here, and tell a friend to scoop it up too!

Stay tuned!

CJAM is moving to 99.1FM this Wednesday, October 8th!
