Detroit

—King Milo, Milf Melly and DJ 47Chops — are riding high on a wave of momentum fresh off their critically acclaimed single 

 featuring Zelooperz. In 2023, they celebrated the re-release of their groundbreaking albums, 

, now available on streaming platforms for the first time. With a bold fusion of Detroit’s legendary ghettotech roots, futuristic melodies and fast-paced, bass-heavy beats, HiTech’s music has become a high-octane soundtrack for dance floors and festivals alike.

The trio continues to push sonic boundaries with their kinetic energy and unique sound, blending inspiration from Detroit icons like DJ Assault, Moodymann and DJ Rashad, exemplifying their fresh take on techno and club music, honouring Detroit’s legacy while charting new territory for its future.

In their guide, the trio shares their favourite spots around the city, from local markets and rooftop bars to a record museum and a Quentin Tarantino themed restaurant. 

It's a spot that we like to go to sometimes together and just the vibe is fire because you share plates. Everything is either you can eat it by yourself, or you can share it. But the selections that they have are fire and it's seasonal, so the menu changes. So anytime you go back, there's something new going on.

It's a newer spot that recently opened up in the city, but they have so many different cocktail options. The vibe is cool. It's like dark with ambient blue lights - it's really like small and intimate.

A speakeasy where you gotta set your little reservation, but it's in an alley in Detroit downtown. It looks sketchy as fuck, but you go to the back in that alley, pass a couple porter potties and some wild shit, and then you knock on the door. It's just a big steel door. You don't see a sign or anything, and then they let you in, and it's this fucking hyper, classy ass spot. It's fucking fire as hell, very quaint but low key with low lighting and a crazy big ass bar with a myriad of drinks. They make the craziest drinks and sometimes they make their own chocolate. 

They throw a whole bunch of parties and shows. It's a venue, but it's like a mansion and a historical landmark in Detroit.

I like this spot a lot because it's a good vibe and on a rooftop. You get a good little view of the city. Go on a weekend 'cause it can also get ratchet, and I love that. It's sexy ratchet.

It's pretty much like a techno museum inside of the building. It's right off Grand Boulevard, which is one of the main streets in Detroit, close to downtown. You can learn about the history of techno and like its roots, from equipment to records and all types of stuff. All you got to do is go up there and you can schedule appointment to get a tour, or you could do it online. If you want to get an understanding of the history and culture techno or just music in general you got to check it out. You might see Mike banks just walking around. You never know.


A Black-owned clothing store within Detroit. Shoutout to roast fish, Abu and to Chuck. We got a lot of stuff varying from like Carhartt to New Balance, Nike's and just a whole bunch of stuff. Price ranges from like 150 to 200 it's pretty good. 

You can go fishing over there. They have a park, a botanical garden, an aquarium and just different stuff that that you can check out all on that island. It's spaced out so families come and bring that grill and do cookouts and parties.

Named after a Quintin Tarantino film. In Pulp Fiction there was a scene that it was pretty much named after, and the menu's named after the characters in the movie. It's pretty good.

A fire spot to go to on Saturdays. You can find local fruits and veggies. There's restaurants over there, and also there's meat shops and different stuff like that. On Sundays they have a ballroom dance classes at this one restaurant, I think it's called Burt's Berks. It's pretty cool.

That's on a six mile. It's a Black-owned spot. Shoutout to the homie Mar and his mum. 


That's where everybody's at. It's pretty much an old warehouse joint, where they turn all the places into rooms and rented out spaces. People come and get baked goods or do get straight up catering. Or you can come there and you can get clothes and get geared up, stitched up, tailored, whatever the fuck it is. A lot of Black-owned businesses in there and they're always [hosting] revolving pop ups. They also throw parties in there too.
