313 Connection are pleased to announce that
@dj3000official will be our special guest at
@lacheetahclub on Saturday 25 April.
We’ve been looking forward to hosting him for a long time and are excited to finally make it happen.
Born Franki Juncaj and raised in Hamtramck, Michigan, DJ 3000 came into techno straight at the source. Introduced to the world of
@submerge313 and the
@undergroundresistance313 collective through friends in Detroit, he quickly became part of that extended family. UR co-founder Mike Banks
@undergroundresistance003 famously gave Juncaj his DJ name after the collective moved their headquarters to 3000 W. Grand Boulevard - a moment that cemented his connection to the Detroit techno lineage.
While deeply rooted in the Detroit scene, DJ 3000 has spent decades touring internationally, bringing his distinct sound to clubs and festivals across the globe. His productions and DJ sets are known for blending driving Detroit techno with melodic samples and instrumentation often inspired by his Albanian heritage, creating a sound that is both unmistakably Detroit and uniquely his own.
Alongside his production work, Juncaj founded the
@motechrecords label in 2002 - a platform that has developed its own identity within the global techno landscape, showcasing both his own music and a wide range of forward-thinking artists. His work has also reached a wider audience through high-profile remixes for artists such as
@stgermainofficial and
@depechemode - further cementing his place within the wider electronic music world.
With Glasgow’s long-standing connection to the Detroit sound, it feels only right to welcome DJ 3000 to La Cheetah, one of the city’s key spaces for underground music with a history of connecting to Detroit from the start.
Opening the night will be 313 Connection residents and founders
@undercurrent313 and
@kairogen , setting the tone with a warm-up rooted in Detroit influence while stretching across deeper techno, house and beyond.
Not one to miss.
First release tickets from £10. Linked in bio.
