Today’s In The Groove is 100% dedicated to the life and legacy of Detroit techno and house electronic music pioneer Mike Huckaby, who we lost four years ago this week. You’ll hear a full 30-minute set of his music and learn more about his legacy as an educator in Detroit, passing the torch to the next generation.
On top of that, I sprinkled in some deep cuts from Magnetic Fields and The Replacements,alongside new music from Kara Jackson, Crumb, Lucy Rose, Overmono & The Streets, Nilüfer Yanya and more.
