Dr Futurity – Live Detroit-Berlin Analog Electronics From Lansing.
Dr. Futurity, a live act focusing on Detroit-Style beats and Psy-Ambient sounds returns to Metro Detroit for their first area appearance since the 2004 Movement festival. They will bring their usual array of analog beat boxes and synths and have created several new pieces just for this show.
The duo has been performing live to enthusiastic audiences in the Upper-Midwest since 2002 and entertaining audiences with their danceable and listenable sounds, combined with their entertaining visual soloing style. The live act is a combination of electronic music history and forward looking trends with the synth stylings of Mark Morton, the oldest member of the duo, and new Detroit style techno beats from Brandon Rogers the young electronic percussionist.
Beats, pads and solos are created live before the very eyes of the audience and this performance has been designated" laptop-free". Always an interesting visual treat for the gear enthusiasts among us, plan on seeing moog and jomox synths, 808s and 909s and a few surprises. See you there!

What is Sonic Disturbance?
An Electronic Dance Music Production.
The music is a fusion of Techno, Industrial and Hip Hop genres. The live performance by Sonic Disturbance presently consists of back tracks, live keyboards and a light show that is equally as important as the music being played. It’s more than that though, it is an approach where the atmosphere is more important than the performers. It is a belief that it is better to see lots of people up and dancing with their friends than sitting in their chairs watching a band. Don’t get me wrong, if you want to watch fine; but get up and dance, that’s better.
What can someone expect from the show?
Pulsating rhythms, sweeping melodies, layered soundscapes and full compliment of lighting scene changes. Shadows dancing to flickering lights and exploding sounds. Live dance music with a rock and roll attitude. Prepare for lots and lots of fun. Dress to sweat. The performer will be rather anonymous, but the show will be unmistakable. Isn’t that the way it should be?
What inspired this approach?
Seeing dance music becoming more DJ oriented, seeing live bands becoming more and more serious and feeling that there can be a live performance that mixes different dance music styles in a fun way. It all starts with the beats, but why can’t Techno, Industrial and Hip Hop coexist? It been done before by groups like Altern8 and Orbital and is still being done by Kraftwerk and Crystal Method, but why stop there? Why not add in more elements like P-Funk, Rock and Roll, Trash Disco or whatever else fits the mood?
What can…?
No more questions.
Listen, Dance, Understand!
