~ Detroit’s Music Institute ~
In the late 1980s, amidst Detroit’s economic decline, The Music Institute emerged as a cultural beacon in the city's vibrant downtown. Founded by Detroit’s George Baker and Alton Miller, alongside Chicago’s Anthony Pearson (better known as Chez Damier), the club quickly became a pivotal space for musical innovation and expression. Operating as a members-only venue with a strict no drugs or alcohol policy, it offered a sanctuary where pioneering DJs and producers could push the boundaries of dance music. Alton Miller and Chez Damier were instrumental in shaping the club's identity, bringing together diverse artistic influences that would define the sound of Detroit Techno and House music.
Though its run lasted only 18 months, The Music Institute’s influence stretched far beyond Detroit’s borders. As a platform for experimentation, the club helped foster the electronic sounds that would come to dominate dance floors worldwide. Miller and Damier, with their unique blend of innovation and collaboration, played central roles in the development of the global electronic music movement, shaping not only the future of dance music but also the cultural fabric of Black dance music. Their work at The Music Institute remains a testament to the power of music in times of adversity, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to reverberate across the world today.

Dance Flaws would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, as we pay respect to elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.
