Process Residency Night - Neutron Dance - Derek Plaslaiko invites: BMG
About the concert
For his third residency night of 2026, Derek Plaslaiko is inviting Detroit mainstay, Interdimensional Transmissions label-boss, and fellow No Way Back resident/co-founder BMG to share the decks. Believe it or not, these two have never played b2b before, so this is a very special first!
Some words from Derek about the night:
"I have such an incredible, rich history with BMG. It seems at every turn of my career, Brendan has been part of it somehow. Whether it’s me working at his Star 67 distribution company in the late 90’s. Or throwing the Cannonball Run parties with him. To helping conceive No Way Back together. And finally… working together in the studio, making 3 records together for Interdimensional Transmissions.
One thing we’ve never done is DJ to together collaboratively, back-to-back.
So, that’s the plan for our Neutron Dance in September. I have NO idea what to expect, but I know it’s going to be special. I’m beyond excited to do it with him, and for him to be part of my residency at Process.
Given our history, it just makes perfect sense."
More about BMG:
Brendan M Gillen is the founder of cult label Interdimensional Transmissions, central figure in Ectomorph, and legendary DJ and live act under his moniker BMG. His 25 year musical vision and near encyclopedic musical knowledge have led him to be one of the key figures and visionaries in contemporary dance music. His parties (most famously but not limited to No Way Back and Return to the Source) are the greatest contemporary manifestation of the Detroit party continuum that reaches back to the parties that formed Detroit’s underground roots.
Beyond the curation of IT records and their events, he has also worked in radio for decades, hosting Crush Collision on WCBN for years, with guests as diverse as Drexciya, Basic Channel and Autechre. Brendan has also worked as a journalist, attempting to communicate and archive the ethos of the underground. In the last decade IT had a regular radio show with guests ranging from Marcellus Pittman, A Number of Names to Chris & Cosey.
A master weaver of true psychedelic musical tapestry, BMG has a way of making the strange familiar and the familiar strange. Expect the unexpected.
