The distinctly regional dance-music subgenre known as ghettotech has been an underground phenomenon in Detroit for decades — a hyper-local fusion of raunchy club-rap and skittery techno. Every once in a long while, Detroit ghettotech threatens to cross over into the rest of the world. Two decades ago, genre pioneer DJ Assault took his ultra-horny chants to America’s hipster dance parties. Now the trio known as HiTech is bringing the sound to a different generation of kids, and their sets at festivals like Coachella have reportedly been revelations. Today, HiTech drop their new mixtape Honeypaqq Vol. 1, and it’s a lot of fun.
