Episode 4 –Rhythim Is Rhythim - Strings Of Life

It’s late 1989, and there’s been a lot of recent buzz in Detroit concerning one of its downtown clubs. The Music Institute has been open for a little over a year, boasts an impressive membership count, and is regularly crammed with attendees. Around Detroit it has become known as the place to go if you want to dance until the sun rises. Yet after its next party, the club will be closing permanently. The closing set for this final event at The Music Institute will be the responsibility of one of its regular djs, and local icon, Derrick May. One of the tracks May will end up playing in this set, as he often does during his appearances at the club, is his most famous production as the artist Rhythim is Rhythim, called “Strings of Life”.
