DJ Dehko’s ‘Tektroit Vol. 2’: A Detroit Sound Journey

From Motown to techno to trap, Detroit has always built movements from the ground up. Now, with Tektroit Vol. 2, DJ Dehko steps forward not just as a product of that legacy, but as a bold architect of its future. This isn’t just another album—it’s a clash of cultures, a dancefloor detonation, and a portrait of a city where rave grit and street reality exist side by side.

The record opens like a fist through drywall. “Lambo Money” featuring Audi Money is an unrelenting surge of bass and braggadocio, a sonic adrenaline shot that doesn’t ask for permission. From there, Vol. 2 swerves and lurches, never settling, never softening.

“Messi” with Tay B plays it cooler, slipping into a head-nodding rhythm that’s deceptively simple, letting space and cadence take the lead. “DTW to MIA” with Payroll Giovanni rides smoother still, all vibe and motion—less destination, more journey. Then comes “Good Life,” where Neisha Neshae turns vulnerability into power, riding a beat that breathes more than it bangs. It’s a curveball, but a brilliant one, showing a level of nuance most club producers wouldn’t dare attempt.

Just when it feels safe, Dehko slams the brakes and veers back into the dark. “Join My Team” with Big June is thunderous and raw, a track that could shake warehouse foundations. “BOOM,” captured in all its handheld video chaos, doubles down on that ethos—gritty, erratic, and undeniably alive.

The Tektroit Live DJ Mix ties it all together: a relentless, uninterrupted wave of energy that blurs the line between mixtape and manifesto. Dehko isn’t building bridges between genres—he’s smashing them and rebuilding from the rubble.

Tektroit Vol. 2 isn’t about polish—it’s about power. About motion. About sweat. And most of all, it’s about a city still finding new ways to make the world feel its heartbeat.
