HAPPY SPRING EQUINOX PARTY PEOPLE –
I’m not going to be long-winded in this intro; this booking pretty much speaks for itself. We’ve booked one of the biggest and baddest artists on the underground house and techno circuit: Troy Pierce. Troy has always been an extremely influential artist, producer, and DJ, from his past with Richie Hawtin’s M_nus Records, right on through into the present day (and the future) with the Items & Things label (which he cofounded with friends Magda and Marc Houle). It’s fair to say that Troy Pierce has gone to the top echelons of the underground dance music world (while still remaining unconventional, fun, and weird enough that we can book him to play this extremely intimate venue).
In his own words: “I like making and playing weird music for weird people – those WTF tracks that stick in your head as a sound from another dimension”.
Need we say more?
To open the night we have the talented Jonesy to wet the floor for three hours of her fun driven house heat. If you look around you’ll see that Jonesy is on more line ups week after week than any other dj in the city. She has earned her respect as dj many times over with various crews. She is consistent with her flavor of house and always brings a crowd of people with her to her gigs. Jonesy has been our friend since the beginning of Housepitality. The funny thing is that she’s never once asked us to play at Housepitality and has given us unconditional support over these years while constantly gigging and working her scene. Jonesy had built a great reputation for herself and we are extremely honored to have her support and most importantly to have her open our night and get the room hyped for Troy. Go JONESY!!!
Finally, in the Groove Lounge, we’ve booked our crew member and resident Matt Richardson for a deeper, slower journey through his vinyl collection. Matt’s deep, Berlin-influenced sounds are a sure match for the faster-paced sounds by Troy Pierce in the main room. Come in the back to slow the pace, relax, and hear some real rare gems while you catch your breath.
This is going to be an amazing week. Troy Pierce on a Wednesday? It’s Housepitality: We got you!©

Troy Pierce
Growing up in Indiana, right by the electronic hotspots of Detroit and Chicago, it’s no wonder Troy Pierce was infected with the dance music bug early on. Since then, he’s developed into a pillar of the modern techno community thanks to world tours, live shows, albums and EPs under a number of aliases and as part of more than one studio collective.
The Troy Pierce sound is one which has constantly veered from dense, layered and abstract to stripped down, acid infused and pulsing. His sonic palette is one that draws on a wide array of influences and reaches far outside the confines of the studio and into an otherworld entirely. Fusing techno with minimalism, darkness with light and heaviness with rhythm, this American has never been afraid to experiment in the outer regions of his vast musical universe.
“I like making and playing weird music for weird people – those WTF tracks that stick in your head as a sound from another dimension” says the man whose close association to techno bastion Minus has earned him a deserved and revered reputation during the years since first emerging. Looking ahead though, it will be for his own label, Items & Things (co-run with friends Magda and Marc Houle) that he is most known.
Whilst the rejuvenated label will aim to break new talent and continue its run of underground and intimate Down & Out parties, Troy will also work on his own music: in collaborative effort with his new label mates, on a solo EP on I&T, but also some fresh material from his much-lauded Louderbach alias.
Despite an already impressive list of accolades to his name, Troy Pierce isn’t one to sit still. Keen as ever to confound your expectations, Items & Things, new Louderbach music and a number of exciting collaborations are sure to do just that as he enters the next phase of his musical evolution.
