Profile:
TRENCH (SUBJECT DETROIT)
As an old school house head, Trench had the
pleasure of experiencing Detroit’s dance subculture from its
infancy.
As a regular attendee of many now legendary hotspots, he
experienced the birth of Detroit's audio subculture
firsthand, and his support and dedication to this art form
has been relentless. As a DJ his skills are tight and saying
flexible in selection is an understatement! He attributes
his adventurous nature to his roots; ''Back in the day there
was no right or wrong, there was just music. You grabbed
what you could and gleaned the parts that touched you. I
believe in embracing experimentation, we can make our
soundscape much more exciting''.
Trench brings more than a style to the decks — he brings
personality. A genre splicer constantly moving between
palettes, he follows no man's drum but his own, breaking
through the expected and slamming down flags in new ground.
With his soul deeply rooted beneath the mainstream, his love
for the music is embodied by action: an endless source of
complex creativity, simply defined by conviction.
As an accomplished designer Trench has provided artwork for
many labels and artists: Mike Hukaby, Terrence Parker, Juan
Atkins, Brian Gillespie, DEQ, NDR, Beretta Music, Throw
Records, Visillusion, Detroit Grand Pubahs, Lumina, Pure
Plastic; but home is 100% independent record label Subject
Detroit where he serves as visual liaison. The extensive
catalog of DJ Bone showcases many of his graphic
contributions to the underground movement.
