Hot Mass is gearing up for the next edition of your favorite little open air dirt party. Welcome to Lot Mass 2024, where we keep you tight and hold you steady as the weekend party train approaches its last stop. Kicking off in the sunshine right after No Way Back, get ready for another Monday shitshow with a dialed-up roster of Hot Mass DJ family from near and far, with more TBA soon.
We’re pulling the wraps off the final 2024 Lot Mass lineup, and it feels like sweet revenge on our lost year of 2020, finally welcoming three artists originally slated to play back then. Kicking off in the sunshine right after No Way Back, get ready for another Monday shitshow with a dialed-up roster of Hot Mass DJ family from near and far. Here we go!
Lis Dalton
Hailing from Montreal, Lis will be starting the party off just right – taking us from 0-100 with the outdoor reset we all need. We were blown away with Lis' set from Hemlock Nights at Honcho Campout 2024, so this time we're ready to experience their full range of BPMs as they slowly push the needle into the afternoon. Splash some water on your face and let's go!
Zenker Brothers
Originally scheduled for Lot Mass 2020, we’re proud to finally welcome one of our favorite duos in techno, this time serving us their rare housed-up daytime sound. Occasionally, the guys have let a podcast or mix slip out that delves into this zone – and we’ve found ourselves going back to these mixes over and over. Expect the same trademark funky, stomping fullness that they’re known for via their iconic Ilian Tape label, but with a sunny twist.
Honcho
This year's Hot Mass residency representation is none other than our own Honcho. The trio of Aaron Clark, Clark Price and d'Adhemar return to play Detroit for only their second time as a crew – after their set at DJ Minx's Pyramid Stage at Movement Festival 2022. Known for organizing the infamous queer Honcho Campout festival, they'll be right at home in the Tangent yard, channeling their signature rowdy Midwest sound for the day rave madness.
Whodat
Closing us out at dusk and handing you over to The Bunker is one of our favorite "Queens" of house, and our other artist originally scheduled to play back in 2020. Terri McQueen (aka Whodat) has known and felt the healing power of music her whole life growing up in Detroit. For well over a decade she’s worked to spread that spirit through her djing and production. Her unique and eclectic productions have appeared on Uzuri, Meakusma, and Queen Mum’s Mail over the last five years. The sincerity and love she shares through sound is unforgettable, infectious, and undeniable. She has rocked multiple Pittsburgh dance floors at this point, and now we're ready for a proper hometown Detroit experience.
It’s Lot Mass 2024, where we keep you tight and hold you steady as the weekend party train approaches its last stop.

Return to the Source 2024 is an organic evolution of the original concept, with careful attention to detail put in at every level. Our weekend at the Tangent includes 4 parties for the price of one weekend wristband, with an outdoor area containing a harm reduction zone, food truck, and an incredible outdoor sound system. Once the music starts at No Way Back on Sunday night, it won't end until Tuesday morning — 32 hours of continuous music. A weekend wristband will allow you to experience this ever changing environment with no interruptions.
