PITS was an electronic music record label and artist agency operating in Detroit, Michigan. The concept behind the label was that each “Place In Time & Space” contributes to the experience of art and music. They believed each person had a creative story to tell about their own experience, and wanted to help amplify those stories. PITS supported all artists struggling to be heard in this digitized world, especially those in the community facing oppression for being queer or of color.
The project began as an after hours event series in the summer of 2016 at the infamous Grenadier Club. With these events, founder John Joseph hoped to emphasize the importance of community in the electronic music underground. He connected with many other artists around the city and found a gap in the ability to publish and market their music, spurning the beginning of the PITS imprint in 2017.
