10 Best Ghetto Tech Tracks according to HiTech

HiTech is taking the electronic music world by storm with a vibrant fusion of hip-hop, GhettoTech, and house, solidifying them as one of the most exciting new acts of the year. The group, composed of MCs/producers King Milo, Milf Melly, and DJ 47Chops, is on a mission to revive the essence of true club culture through infectious humour, carefree vibes, and chaotic live sets.

As Detroit's emerging faces in electronic music, HiTech has been wowing audiences globally, performing at iconic venues and festivals like Primavera, SxSW, Berghain, Boiler Room NYC and Chicago, and London's RALLY festival. Their first two releases, 'HiTech' and 'Detwát', reissued this July, caught the attention of tastemakers like Jamie xx, DJ Assault, and Earl Sweatshirt.

HiTech also brought their signature energy to NYFW with appearances at ByAlexander, RAPRAVE, and VANS Block Party, while gearing up for an extensive October tour with Nia Archives across the US, Europe, and UK. With dates at Warehouse Project, Pitchfork Paris, and Le Guess Who in the Netherlands, HiTech is making waves as they lead a new wave of Detroit’s electronic music renaissance.

As their brand new track 'SPANK!' drops today, dive into 10 Best Ghetto Tech Tracks, personally selected by HiTech themselves...

"Something about the keys and the kick that gets people going. As soon as that beat drops it makes ya wanna move your ass."

"A smooth take on a classic by DJ Assault. The perfect vibes… sippin a cold drink, watching the sunset, dancing, hand in hand. Immaculate."

"This one of them basement bangers. You walk in the party and hella people in a circle watching two people jit, it’s a battle when this on."

"Who would’ve known Jill Scott being chopped up over some ghetto tech would sound so cohesive! A great tune by the lovely tiptonaires sampling Jill Scott’s “Its Love'."

"One of those tracks that as soon as the bass comes in you can feel it in your chest!"

"When you hear this come on it’s time to shake some ass!"

"A Detroit classic. Reminds me of The New Dance Show that used to play in Detroit back in the day on cable. Imagine the camera panning on people dancing in the crowd, zooming in on different people doing crazy dance moves on platforms, mixed in with sexy visual effects."

"If you from Detroit you heard this at cookouts, dance parties, people driving down the street, playing on the radio on a Friday night… This the song you just wanna jit to, cruise to, whatever it is."

"A funky ass track sampling Curtis Mayfield’s 'Pusherman'."

"Another jit battle classic, by Godfather and Starski."

'SPANK!' is out now via Loma Vista Recordings.
