The Electorate |

 One
of the things that we Detroiters like to brag about is the serious
amount of talent that’s here. One such artist is Bill Stacy, aka DJ
Seoul. He‘s been on the set for so long that people can sometimes take
for granted his impeccable mixing skill. All of that may change soon,
as Seoul is finally bubbling up from the underground to make his
presence known on a global scale.
Fresh off of Detroit Techno
Militia’s European tour, RECON:313, he recounts his slow but sure rise
to notoriety. “As a child, I was formally trained on the drums —
counter-culture sounds and movements really motivated me,” Seoul says.
“I‘m still into drums, as well as other traditional and electronic
instruments.” Like so many of us, his introduction to electronic music
came from two familiar sources: The Wizard (Jeff Mills) and the
Electrifying Mojo, both of whom had mainstream radio shows in the ‘80s
and early-‘90s. He cites other Detroit artists for influencing his DJ
style, like Kenny Dixon Jr., Theo Parrish, Terrance Parker and Aux 88.
In 1995, DJ Seoul was officially born at Juan Atkins’ Metroplex Records
ten-year-anniversary event. Since then, he has developed a DJ style
that is more akin to hip-hop turntablism, focusing on mixing and
scratching, which is not the easiest of tasks when playing house and
techno. DJ Seoul will be performing Saturday, March 22 at Corktown
Tavern for the Funktion 2.0 event. Visit bangtech12.com.

Turntabilist DJ Seoul |

 Techno Militia DJ puts on an energetic show
by Christian Czerwinski
| NOISE
Turntablism -- the art of manipulating sounds by using turntables and a mixer -- has lost some of its thunder in recent years.
But
Billy Stacy, aka DJ Seoul, isn't going anywhere. He's a devotee. As a
new member of the Detroit Techno Militia, Stacy helps carry the torch
of teaching the history of Detroit music by playing his brand of
electro highlighted by hip-hop stylings and house influences.
His
live show favors bouncing soulful rhythms, powerful drum beats and a
king's ransom of cutting and scratching. Stacy says he brings a fresh
style to mixing, but his mash-ups are a little retro and aimed at
getting you to dance. If you like to breakdance, he has something for
you too.
