[TECHNO] A last minute change to the next Strange Allure party bumps deep house twins Analog Soul—who canceled for undisclosed reasons—for Detroit electro DJ John FM. The 23-year-old DJ, has enjoyed a rising profile due to his releases on FXHE, the label helmed by Detroit legend Omar-S. John FM also appeared on Omar-S’ recent critically acclaimed album, The Best, on the album’s final track “Heard’ Chew Single.” FM’s style is more dark and twisted than Omar-S’ usually brighter sound but it shares the same kind of raw realness that Omar-S has perfected—from scratchy, overblown hi hats to snappy snares, and facetious vocals on tracks like his latest, “Broken.” “My senior year of college, I met Omar-S at a Fundementals event, and then again at a Theo Parrish show the following night. He said I looked like MK both times, which was bullshit cuz I don’t think I look like him but whatever. It went from there and here we are,” said in an interview last year with Resident Advisor about his relationship with the producer who has been a guiding force. John FM will set up at the next edition of the underground dance party, this Saturday, June 24 at an undisclosed location. Expect an opening set from DJ Nasor, visuals from Frankie NP, and sound by Emissary Sound. Location details will be released the day of the show via email for ticket holders and email subscribers. For tickets, ask around. Limited tickets available at the door.
