Moses - Biblical Proportions / Tec-Troit - Detroit

Moses has been working on mastering the 1s and 2s for almost 30 years. Starting as a hip hop Dj in his home town at the age of 14 he began playing house parties and clubs at a young age. Around the age of 18 Moses was introduced to electronic music and more importantly Detroit Techno. While learning this new world, he was also working with his band Activity Bomb lending his hip hop flair and some scratches to the fusion group. In his mid 20s Moses moved to California where he discovered a strong techno community in Tijuana. Ultimately this led him to miss the Detroit Techno family. Moving home turned out to be just what he needed. Starting off slow he joined friends at a residency for all vinyl nights. Shortly after he formed the Live PA group Biblical Proportion with Solomon Allen after they noticed a large hole for live performances in the scene. Their love for live techno and electro started in the late 90s going to raves in the Detroit underground and they wanted to bring a little bit of that back. After a few years of BP playing the underground, Moses decided it was time to contribute to bringing back the free festival. Founding the Pine Groove festival he was able to provide 3 stages of international and local talent as well as art and workshops all for free. It was at this time he was introduced to DJ Roach of Tectroit. As they learned each other’s passion for providing a free event to showcase local talent and inspire new talent, Moses started working with Tectroit. Through all of this BP was able to release 3 Records as well as multiple digital tracks. Moses has played in numerous countries and throughout the US but comes alive behind the decks in Detroit. His versatility with all different levels of techno and love for electro, makes Moses a must hear in the Detroit scene.
