The True and Live Archive

The night continues on record.

A growing visual record of Detroit techno and house music culture—capturing the rooms, people, and exchanges that make each gathering live beyond the night itself.

Detroit music, held in the room and carried forward.

A living record of the room.

The archive holds the energy of each session: the people who gathered, the music that moved through the space, and the cultural exchange that continues after the lights come up.

Session I · John “Jammin” Collins participation

First event space

The first room opened the series with a shared listening experience, Detroit-rooted conversation, and the presence of John “Jammin” Collins. This section holds the photographs from that inaugural session.
