punisher: Recent Episodes
punisher
Michelle Herrmann, better known to the masses as Punisher, began her music career back when mix tapes were still popular. She is a Detroit native with over 26 years behind the turntables, synthesizers and drum machines . Michelle was drawn to music and the creative side of life from the beginning. She was fortunate to find her way into the early 90’s Detroit techno scene when the energy was awe inspiring, from that moment Punisher emerged. As a record aficionado, her preference behind the decks is playing vinyl and her knowledge of records is vast. Her studio tracks are devoted to hardware, analog gear and spontaneous live mix downs. A strong understanding of machines and midi programming allows her to perform powerful, dance floor igniting, live PA sets that take you on a journey through hypnotic, cerebral soundscapes. Michelle released her first two records in 1997 on Detroit label Matrix and has since appeared on over 40 different releases on internationally recognized labels including Denied Music, Detroit Underground, Synewave and her own imprint Hej Records. While mainly focused on techno and house, Michelle has the ability to play across multiple genres. Punisher has performed at clubs and festivals all over the globe, alongside world renowned acts such as Sebastian Mullaert, Maceo Plex, The Black Madonna, Richie Hawtin and The Orb. Most recently she was brought on as a resident at the globally recognized “Make it New” event in Cambridge. Michelle will continue to travel where the music takes her in pursuit of musical enlightenment.
On Monday August 1st, 2022, I had the pleasure of playing a spontanious downtempo/ambient set in NY at .LIFE in the Yard at H0L0. I happened to be in NY for a techno show at TBA when I was asked to play this magical patio for an upcoming day party. I love downtempo so much that I actually had enough music on me to play from open to close for 6+ hours. In an effort to have people listen to the entire thing, I split the mix into 3 different parts. Once each part has plenty of listens, I'll release the set as a whole.This is Part 3 of 3

Bang Tech 12 in Detroit hosted a holiday party called "Home" featuring Punisher, Twonz, Dru, Big Joe Hix & DJ Seoul (These Dudes)! Party was held in an art space, completely transformed by the hard work of this amazing crew I consider family.
