Underground Mafia

02/26/2026

Some folks love acting like they hold the keys to the underground… but can’t unlock a crowd, won’t share a flyer, and still want to invoice you. The scene doesn’t need gatekeepers. It needs contributors.

Today I’m taking off my Detroit hat—here in Detroit—and leaving it here where it belongs.
I haven’t truly been a Detroiter for over 25 years. This wasn’t an easy decision, but I believe it’s the right one. Things have changed. I’ve changed. I’m not a young kid anymore, even if part of me still wants to believe I am.
For a long time, I put music before my family and the people who love me most, while they stood by and watched me chase something that no longer feels the same. In the ’90s, house and techno saved my life. They pulled me out of a childhood that was dark and painful, and I will always be grateful for that. But somewhere along the way, the music—and the scene—became filled with drama, anger, jealousy, and division. And it started to take more from me than it gave.
I’m writing this with tears in my eyes, because I’ve always considered many of you my family. I’m going to miss a lot of you—yes, even those who have hurt me over the last few years. We shared real moments. We had real memories. And I want to hold onto the good ones.
The last five years have been a constant struggle. I truly believed my history, my heart, and my intentions would speak for themselves. I was wrong. I’ve tried to come back with positivity, humility, and love. I’ve tried to make peace and take responsibility where I could. I hope someday some of you can forgive me, or at least understand that I’m human—I have feelings, and I make mistakes just like anyone else.
What hurts the most is realizing that Detroit no longer feels like home to me. I don’t feel welcomed. I don’t feel wanted. Last night made that painfully clear, and while I understand it, it still hit deep.
This isn’t about anger. It’s about survival, healing, and choosing my family, my well-being, and my future. I’m turning the page on this chapter of my life with love, not resentment.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the memories, the music, and the moments we shared. I will always carry them with me. I love you all, and I’m going to be okay.
Please understand—this decision is final. I want to leave with peace and gratitude, not debate.
❤️
