    At the tail end of 2021 DJ Godfather released 'This Detroit Thing Of Ours'. Like his 'Electro Beats For Freaks' album the previous year, it featured an abundance of tracks which segued into one another 46 tracks in total with a running time of nearly 2 hours. This is a man who likes to break all the album rules! Full of variety, the album covered genres like Electro, Techno, House and Ghetto Tech alongside collaborations with DJ Deeon, Goodmoney G100, King Saaidi, Gettoblaster & Missy, Lil Mz 313, Ricky Burns, JPE, Parkhouse and Dan Diamond. Revisiting that epic album, DJ Godfather is releasing a series of EPs which feature full length versions, alternative mixes, acapellas and instrumentals of some of those tracks.

    Beatport Top Releases

    DJ Godfather maintains his roll of releases into 2026 as he follows up the electro stylings of Sporadic with a new EP of straight up footwork, club-focussed frenzy. This time he teams up with Detroit based music collective Dastardly Kids who bring fun back to the dancefloor! Stay Outside gets its jit on the floor, just in time for Detroits Movement festival. Dastardly Kids formed from humble beginnings in Ypsilanti, MI. Fellow high school misfits Sonny & Pat each found fellowship in the off-kilter stylings of acts like MF DOOM, Wu-Tang Clan, and Parliament. In later years they would expand their ranks to include vocalist Champagne Santana. The addition pushed DK's sound to a whole new scope, each member bringing their own flavour and energy. These days Dastardly Kids are capturing the Ghetto Tech sounds of their youth and amplifying it to help lead the new wave of modern dance music. Now, alongside DJ Godfather the three cuts of 'Big Booty Gurls', 'Heart Attack' and 'Stay Outside' are here to put feet on the dancefloor and butts in motion, one sex-fuelled anthem at a time!

    Orlando Voorn

    Beatport Staff Picks

    Databass delivers a new electro bomb as Dutch electronic music pioneer Orlando Voorn makes his debut on DJ Godfathers label, with Godfather contributing a tough electro remix to wrap the dancefloor up! Blending Voorns futuristic, machine-driven sound design with raw, bass-heavy Detroit energy, the Detroit Is The Name EP splices a high-voltage fusion of classic electro grit with Motor City edge. Known for shaping the European techno movement and releasing seminal records under aliases such as Fix and Baruka, Voorn brings decades of studio mastery to the collaboration. DJ Godfather, widely recognized as a founding force in Detroits ghetto tech scene, injects the release with a remix of unmistakable electro pulse and attitude. A transatlantic exchange rooted in electros heritage!

    Beatport Staff Picks

    DJ Godfather maintains his roll of releases into 2026 with the classic Detroit electro stylings of Sporadic. Following the straight up jit, battle footwork-attack of Decembers Square Up EP and this Februarys Thats Right (313) with its electro, jit and footwork dance-off, Godfather gives us three tracks of classic Detroit electro/techno. Whilst the title track is impeccable, battle-hardened Detroit electro its also accompanied by a more techno friendly 909 Mix for more straight-up 4/4 floors and closes with the discordant electronic space-oddity that is Stranger Than Strange. Another masterclass from the D.
