New year. New venue. Special guests. Same sleaze.
It's MC's resolution to party as much as possible this year considering the impending apocalypse and all. It's a return to form, a return to the R&R and a return to monthly parties for the boys at Macho City.

This month, we are SUPER excited to bring you the immense talent of Massimilano Pagliara for his first Detroit performance:
Massimiliano Pagliara was born in Tricase (Lecce) in the deep south of Italy. Upon moving to Milan in 1997, Massi discovered the alternative club scene of the city, his imagination was captured by experimental electronic music such as Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Autechre and Mira Calix. Naturally these avant-garde sounds eventually found their way into Massi’s original body of work.
After finishing school he ventured to Europe’s underground capital Berlin, where he dived into the city’s explosive techno nightlife, particularly the renowned Ostgut. Massi’s interest in electronic music found its peak in 2003 when he finally began to pursue DJing with a passion. Ever since he’s been spinning at some of the most popular underground venues in Germany (among them Tape Club, Berghain/Panorama Bar, SchwuZ, Tresor, and Robert Johnson (Frankfurt/Offenbach)) as well as playing across the world.
Massi describes his style as an eclectic mix of house, disco, electro and techno – one may call it current-yet-classic. DJing has since led to production, these days Massi lets his obsession with analog synths run wild, usually he’s holed up in his apartment studio, working on his latest productions. But he’s not always alone. Massi has been collaborating with luminaries around town such as Gui.Tar, Snax, Lemercier & The Lala by, Molly Nilsson and Discodromo. The two members of Gui.Tar and Massi later formed [sic!], since 2010 he's been collaborating with Rotciv – as The Rimshooters. Massi also released an EP on Apersonal Music under the alias Egyptian Nipples together with Jules Etienne.
2011 saw the release of his debut album Focus For Infinity (on Live At Robert Johnson), followed by his second long player With One Another (also LARJ) in 2014. February 2017 sees his debut release on Ostgut Ton with the Time And Again EP.
There’s an ongoing lust for dialogue when it comes to Massimiliano Pagliara – be it through his collaborations and solo productions, during his DJ sets or on a personal level. The world of dance, movement and communication is deeply rooted in Massi’s life – when you know how to move yourself, you easily know how to move others.
