Walter x Techno Snobs: Detroit Love w. Carl Craig & Moodymann + Disco Zombie


Saturday Jan 11 9pm - 2:30am 21+


Detroit is a city rich in music culture, from Blues, Jazz, Motown, Punk, Hip-Hop, Pop and, of course, Techno. Recognized as one of the greatest in the world for its musical output, it is also a city whose artists have so much love and pride for their heritage. Amidst the city’s problems over the years, the inspiration remains strong and many of the artists from Detroit are innovators of electronic music.


Creating landscapes through sound, music from originators Jeff Mills, Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Carl Craig, Moodymann, Underground Resistance, Stacey Pullen, Kenny Larkin, Robert Hood, Recloose, Octave One and many more have influenced people the world over, and without them, the music of today would not be what it is. They have also paved the way for newer artists like Seth Troxler, Kyle Hall, Lee Curtiss, Shaun Reeves, Ryan Crosson and Jay Daniel; each artist uniquely taking the melodic and unforgettable sounds of Detroit in to the future.


‘Detroit Love’ is a new concept from Carl Craig, designed to bring together and support the sounds of Detroit and take a little of the techno brotherhood to clubs and festivals the world over.


“Love is what I have for my city, Detroit. ‘Detroit Love’ is my way of spreading this love, a love for music from the city, my heritage and who I am as a producer and performer. My love for Detroit is my inspiration, my inspiration is ‘Detroit Love’.” – Carl Craig


Carl Craig is a multi-disciplined visionary whose eclectic tastes and influences all converge into his “main discipline” – Carl Craig. The Detroit pioneer’s lifelong pursuit of independence and self-gratification is the catalyst behind three decades of innovation and achievement within the realm of electronic music. His standing within Motor City’s highly influential techno fraternity places him at the forefront of the global community, inspiring future generations of techno enthusiasts since he got started. As the mastermind behind Planet E Communications, Carl conceived and nurtured a platform that preserves his independence, while also providing a liberating space for a range of international artists. From the beginning Carl and his label have consistently pushed the boundaries of creativity, in turn stimulating the growth and evolution of techno, ensuring its progressive ethos is at the center of his endeavors. A natural born fighter, Carl’s determination, innate gift for channeling emotion into his work and unwavering commitment to his freedom have established him as a master of his craft.


Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodymann has emerged as one of Detroit’s most enigmatic and most successful house producers. Perfecting a unique blend of samples and original instrumentation KDJ’s music is different and original than typical house. Drenched in soul, funk and jazz KDJ gathers the full force of his musical influences and recontextualizes them within the house genre. His material ranges from the slow and moody to the up beat and energetic. Another quality label that keeps the spirit of good soulful house music alive.


KDJ is Kenny Dixon jr – aka Moodyman.Moodyman combines classic soul and jazz samples, low-slung bass in many of his tracks that always manage to create a captivating scope of sounds keeping you hooked in the groove from start to finish. This style of strong soul and blues-tinged tech house music is able to combine the original disco sound with the more deeper approach to production that has been more apparent with the producers of Detroit.

“Muddy Terrains” presents a diverse collection of newly created works from two artists’ residencies with CALA Alliance in the Spring and Summer of 2024. San Juan-based Mariana Ramos Ortiz (Puerto Rico, b. 1997) and Phoenix-based Estephania González (United States, b. 1989) explore the interconnected themes of environmentalism, self-determination and impermanence in the Southwest and the Caribbean Archipelago. The exhibition underscores some of the most critical themes pertinent to the region, including resource scarcity. In their dynamic practice that employs innovative printmaking techniques, Ramos Ortiz explores the qualities of the earth as they relate to the realities of occupation, protection and temporality. Drawing inspiration from the societal and spiritual perspectives of the Mexica peoples of pre-conquest Mexico and Latinx hair practices, González’s work underscores the cultural significance of water across space, time and geographies.


How does water access and water scarcity affect you and your community? How does land ownership and sovereignty shift your perspective on place?


“Muddy Terrains: Mariana Ramos Ortiz + Estephania González” is organized by ASUAM Senior Curator Alana Hernandez, with ASUAM Windgate Curatorial Fellow Sade Moore and made possible by generous funding from the Ford Foundation. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with a Community of Practice composed of Vania Guevara, Advocacy and Political Director, CHISPA AZ; Pita Juarez, Filmmaker, and Media and Communications Creative; and Elizabeth Pineda, Photographer and Faculty Associate at Arizona State University.

Muddy Terrains: Mariana Ramos Ortiz + Estephania González

What role does community play in contemporary mothering experiences? How might we tackle taboo topics such as postpartum anxiety, rage, and birth trauma, while celebrating maternal joy, love, sacredness and the spectrum of emotions in between? What can we do to acknowledge the invisible labor of mothering, recognizing it is not a monolithic experience, and offering a rich tapestry of alternative, inclusive narratives? 


“Notes on Motherhood” explores various stages of matrescence, or “mother-becoming” –– from birth and caregiving to grief and loss. The exhibition challenges the narrow depictions of mothers and mothering within art history and visual culture. Drawing from the museum’s dynamic collection, the presentation assesses the presence and absence of nuanced, complex portrayals of motherhood. Often, maternity is viewed through a male gaze, with the image of the Madonna and Child dominating the experience. Alongside selections from the collection, the exhibition inserts voices and perspectives traditionally left out. Regional women-identified artists, such as Megan Driving Hawk (United States, b. 1988), Gabriela Muñoz (United States, b. Mexico 1980) and Ashley Czajkowski (United States, b. 1986), each offer a unique perspective on mothering, thereby expanding upon the limited understandings of birth, nurturing and unseen domestic labor. 


Artists include: Pitseolak Ashoona (Inuk, 1904–1983), James S. Baillie (United States, active 1838–1855), Judy Chicago (United States, b. 1939), Sue Coe (England, b. 1951), Ashley Czajkowski (United States, b. 1986), Francis de Erdely (United States, 1904–1959), Raoul Deal (United States, b. 1956), Louis Delsarte (United States, 1944–2020), Renée Dennison (Diné, b. 1963), Megan Driving Hawk (United States, b.1988), Albrecht Dürer (Germany, 1491–1528), Margaret Garcia (United States, b. 1951), R.C. Gorman (Diné, 1933–2005), Mildred Howard (United States, b. 1945), Sara Hubbs (United States, b. 1978), Victoria E.H. Huntley (United States, b. 1900–1971), Käthe Kollwitz (Germany, 1867–1945), John P. Leeper (United States, 1909–1989), Adriana Lestido (Argentina, b. 1955), Gabriela Muñoz (United States, b. Mexico 1980), José Clemente Orozco (Mexico, 1883–1949), Lisa Reinertson (United States, b. 1955), Margery Ryerson (United States, 1886–1989), Edwin Scheier (United States, 1910–2008), Forrest Solis (United States, b. 1979), Roxanne Swentzell (Santa Clara Tewa, b.1962), Akio Takamori (United States, 1950–2017), Dorothy Trujillo (Cochiti Pueblo, 1932–1999), Andy Warhol (United States, 1928–1987), June Wayne (United States, 1918–2011) and Russell Wray (United States, b. 1955).
