Interview :: Ryan Crosson & Cesare Merveille (DRM)

One of the more unique albums to sneak out at the end of 2012 was DRM, a collaboration between Ryan Crosson (one quarter of Visionquest) and Cesare Merveille (of Cadenza fame). Both DJ/producers spend a majority of their time representing their label’s crossover-ready techno tunes to adoring audiences worldwide.

2011 Wrap-Up (by URB Readers)

As a part of this year’s Best of 2011 survey, we asked voters to tell us what they thought made 2011 special when it comes to music. And as we expected, URB readers told us what’s up. Some of you were disappointed, but most stayed positive about the past 12 months and are enthusiastic about the year to come. As one of you so aptly put, “I want the music of 2011 in my head for at least the month of January 2012.”

The Best Movement-Detroit Afterparties 2011

First rule of attending a festival is that there will be afterparties. Since the first DEMF found Derrick May DJing to 200 friends in a late-night art gallery space, the Movement party scene has grown to seveal dozen events, ranging from amped-up clubnights to secret venue all-nighters. Since Detroit is a 2am town, and many of these venues are not typically used for DJ music, there’s always the chance for a bum party. But that’s part of the adventure once you leave Hart Plaza and start exploring the city’s darker corners. Here’s a list of events where you’ll find URB—bloodshot eyes and all. …MORE

text: Miss Eleanor

What happenes when four techno-obsessed friends from Detroit—Seth Troxler, Lee Curtiss, Ryan Crosson, and Shaun Reeves—move to Berlin and find fame on the global DJ/producer circuit? They start an “art house” label that has [almost] nothing to do with dance music. URB sat down with Troxler, the number three DJ in the world, at Mexico’s BPM Festival to find out more about this new collaborative project, and the first release—the very techno titled “Where The Freaks Have No Name” by Benoit & Sergio …MORE
