![]() ![]() Then, less than a week before the party, almost all of this thinking went out of the window. So I put together a playlist leaning in that direction, trying to hit that sweet spot between what I thought people would want (heavier, simpler, more immediate), and what I thought they might not want but would nonetheless appreciate (more ambiguous, potentially even some sad bangers). I also thought that the other DJ on the night would be Por Detroit’s co-founder in Mexico City, Kodemul, who plays a whole range of music (check this mix for a good idea) but at these parties seems to focus on the heavier side of things. ![]() While I didn’t anticipate having to play Berghain techno or they/themcore (a concept I’m sure will be expanded on in future Remix Roundtables ), I did figure that this might not be the time for the more sunshiney music I was planning to play in NOLA the weekend before. The vibe would be hedonistic and probably pretty dark, so the music might have to match. Not that I’ve ever been to a proper circuit party, but I’ve been to gay parties that felt on the spectrum. When I was preparing in the weeks leading up to Por Detroit in LA I had a mental image of a huge and rather intimidating warehouse filled with 700 or so gays, performers and high-production lights and decorations, falling somewhere between Cocktail d’Amore and circuit party.
