Live Painting/Attic Session with techno artist Abdul Haqq & DJ mix by electro vanguard J Shaw
A very exciting program awaits..I had the pleasure to have both Detroit's own techno artist Abdul Haqq and Producer/Dj J Shaw over to the studio for a live "painting to music" session! This episode starts off with a brief interview/introduction of Abdul Haqq which eventually morphs into the mix that J Shaw provided skillfully during the painting session. Haqq, who is one of the most influential painters and artists in the electronic dance music community, outlines how his journey as a techno painter started as well as sharing his thoughts on what electronic dance music means to him.

The Baroness - Interview & Dj mix
The Anxious Beat had the pleasure of having one of Detroit's most well kept secrets in the studio - The Baroness. Not only does she add yet more contours to the story of Detroit's electronic dance music community, she does so with an abundance of charm and an impressive ear for techno. The Anxious Beat got a sneak peek behind the veil and learned a little bit about her beginnings, her passion for photography, techno and dancing. Our conversation also touched upon the importance of Detroit's music history as well as some personal anecdotes from Detroit's (early-ish) clubs days, starting off in the 90's. The program takes off with a hot Detroit techno blend by The Baroness, eventually leading us further down the rabbit's hole.
