On February 28, Alternative School unveils Framework, a one-night-only sonic installation at the Northern Lights Lounge. This is not a series; it is a specific structural event designed to showcase the depth of Detroit electronic music in an intimate, lowlight environment.
The night is anchored by Rick Wade, a foundational figure in the city's house legacy. As a global standard-bearer for the Detroit sound, Wade's mastery of soulful, deep rhythms has made him one of the most respected producers in the genre, delivering a masterclass in the steady, dusty, and hypnotic atmosphere that defines his signature style.
The evening further features Shigeto, the Ghostly International luminary whose work bridges the gap between jazz-schooled percussion and modern electronic textures. His presence brings a visceral, melodic energy to the booth, rooted in the rich rhythmic traditions of the city.
Rounding out the lineup is a collaborative back-to-back from Ryan Spencer and Todd Modes. This pairing brings together two selectors for a seamless exploration of the underground. Merging left-field, classic house with cosmic, tribal rhythms, they set the foundation for the night with a deep and heavy synergy.
