Flowers, who will be closing out Sundays festivities, playing 10 p.m.-midnight, stumbled across techno music during its infancy while living in his hometown of Kalamazoo. Equidistant from Detroit and the mecca of house music that is Chicago, Flowers spent the early 90s listening to records from Detroit electronic artists alongside weekend radio broadcasts of Chicago house DJs that would bounce off Lake Michigan on clear nights. Luckily for Flowers, his cohorts in Kalamazoo, artists such as Jay Denham, Chance McDermott and D-Knox, had caught on to the same frequencies. As one of the founding members of Black Nation records, Flowers released his first record in 1992. It was in 1996, however, that he moved to Ann Arbor to attend college and to launch his own label, Mechanisms Industries.
