From Warehouse to Web: How Detroit Radio Evolved

The first classrooms were parties. The first networks were mixtapes and word of mouth. Today a listener in Tokyo can lock into the same 313 LIVE stream as someone on the East Side — and that is a kind of justice for a sound that always thought globally while staying local.

Technology changed. Standards didn’t: quality, intention, and respect for the people who made the music dangerous in the best way.

Keep the stream on at 313 LIVE — techno, house, and underground from Detroit, 24/7. Studio 13 plays round the clock, plus Door Policy with Duchess Amari (weekdays 7–9 AM ET) and The Lodge Run with Ellis Lane (weekdays 5–7 PM ET): see the schedule, and dig more stories on the blog.
